One week sans diet sweeteners!

[alfreda89]

So, how are you all doing sans Equal and the other culprits? I mentioned going without such stuff for two weeks, and my specialist thought it was a great idea. She believes that the stuff increases hunger pains. I've found that a square of diet cinnamon gum doesn't trigger the cravings like a piece of diet candy can. But otherwise, I'm doing without!

These things work wonnnnderfully at keeping blood sugars level. Smells amazing, too. I don't push it all that often, but if I have a donut in the morning & take one of these, I manage to completely avoid the pre-lunch slump into grogginess:

Sadly, a bottle costs $44-$49 at Whole Foods/Central Market type locations, so ordering 3 bottles online at that link above gets the price way down, with their discounts and free shipping.

Wow.

Glad you think it's helping. I've heard of the benefits of tumeric. I've used cinnamon in the past for blood sugar, and be very careful ramping up, or going off it. I had emotional waves slamming me into the pavement, and tears, when I started that stuff. Screwed up a possible job offer, too.
