    Same here Brian. I also use a lot of Splenda in my every day kitchen
    routine. I'm diabetic and drinking regular soda would really cramp my
    style, glucose wise. Besides, I've been drinking diet soda for so many
    years, regular soda tastes sickeningly sweet to me. My taste buds have
    been well trained 😉

    Most of the time I drink lemon water that is sweetened with just a little
    Splenda, and I also cook with Splenda. There are diabetics on both sides
    of my family, so I have avoided sugar since I was in high school. On
    special occasions and during the holidays, I will have a treat, other than
    that, I avoid consuming sugar.

    This lemon water sounds good! I will try it. I make iced coffee with
    splenda and vanilla and 2% milk that tastes like Starbucks Frappacino.
    It's dangerous if you're sensitive to caffeine though--like chugging
    speed! I love Splenda, for me it has no aftertaste. If it turns out to be
    harmful I will be in trouble. I keep a canister of Splenda next to the one
    with sugar on my kitchen counter, but nobody but guests use the sugar.
    Like you, I have avoided sugar since adolescence. We do have diabetics
    in our family, but worse (to a teen) we have FAT people in the family!
    I was not so much worried about disease as getting fat. 🙂

    Obesity IS a disease.
    Today, I went back on the diet. I want to lose at least 20 pounds by
    late Spring, hopefully more. So far today, 3 cups of coffee with
    Splenda and a little half & half, 1 small can of mushrooms, about a
    tablespoon of flax seeds, and two chicken breasts, fried unbreaded in
    peanut oil. Tomorrow morning I'm going to go buy a huge amount of
    lettuce. I can happily eat lettuce with a tiny bit of fresh-squeezed
    lemon and a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
    I'm also going to buy in-the-shell sunflower seeds. They are the best
    diet food.

    I don't know what in hell is going on with my weight. I am now 50 pounds
    heavier than I was back in May. I just keep packing it on without
    changing my eating habits. My GP and Cardiologist are stumped and so is
    the nutritionist. I'm scheduled to go to the adrenal doc next week.
    Everyone seems to think something is out of whack because they did remove
    an adrenal gland way back when and my meds have changed a lot.

    Anyway, I'll be joining you on that lettuce diet if They can't figure out
    what's going on with this thing. Lettuce with lemon and fresh cracked
    pepper for me 😉

    obesity may be a disease, but dieting is not good for you, either.

    "Dieting" can be many different things. I know a few things, my
    plasma triglycerides are going to drop hugely. I'm going to lose a
    bunch of belly fat.
    My HDL levels are going to increase because of the increased physical
    activity, and I'll be more mindful of taking my policosanol. I'm
    already getting the energy boost from <20 g of carbs in the last 36
    hours.
    This is ALL good. Thanksgiving Day I'll put back on a full load of
    glycogen, but a couple of days later, I'll be ketogenic again.

    obesity may be a disease, but dieting is not good for you, either.

    "Dieting" can be many different things. I know a few things, my
    plasma triglycerides are going to drop hugely. I'm going to lose a
    bunch of belly fat.
    My HDL levels are going to increase because of the increased physical
    activity, and I'll be more mindful of taking my policosanol. I'm
    already getting the energy boost from <20 g of carbs in the last 36
    hours.
    This is ALL good. Thanksgiving Day I'll put back on a full load of
    glycogen, but a couple of days later, I'll be ketogenic again.

    This lemon water sounds good! I will try it. I make iced coffee with
    splenda and vanilla and 2% milk that tastes like Starbucks Frappacino.
    It's dangerous if you're sensitive to caffeine though--like chugging
    speed! I love Splenda, for me it has no aftertaste. If it turns out tobe
    harmful I will be in trouble. I keep a canister of Splenda next to theone
    with sugar on my kitchen counter, but nobody but guests use the sugar.
    Like you, I have avoided sugar since adolescence. We do have diabetics
    in our family, but worse (to a teen) we have FAT people in the family!
    I was not so much worried about disease as getting fat. 🙂

    Obesity IS a disease.
    Today, I went back on the diet. I want to lose at least 20 pounds by
    late Spring, hopefully more. So far today, 3 cups of coffee with
    Splenda and a little half & half, 1 small can of mushrooms, about a
    tablespoon of flax seeds, and two chicken breasts, fried unbreaded in
    peanut oil. Tomorrow morning I'm going to go buy a huge amount of
    lettuce. I can happily eat lettuce with a tiny bit of fresh-squeezed
    lemon and a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
    I'm also going to buy in-the-shell sunflower seeds. They are the best
    diet food.

    I don't know what in hell is going on with my weight. I am now 50 pounds
    heavier than I was back in May. I just keep packing it on without
    changing my eating habits. My GP and Cardiologist are stumped and so is
    the nutritionist. I'm scheduled to go to the adrenal doc next week.
    Everyone seems to think something is out of whack because they did remove
    an adrenal gland way back when and my meds have changed a lot.

    Anyway, I'll be joining you on that lettuce diet if They can't figure out
    what's going on with this thing. Lettuce with lemon and fresh cracked
    pepper for me 😉

    Another nice topping is a little bit of freshly fried and crumbled
    bacon, and some sliced tomato. BLT, no bread. That's good with the
    pepper as well.

    Adrenal issues can make a huge difference.

    I'm guessing you're on a glucocorticoid of some sort or have you been
    weaned to just living on the one adrenal?

    Among other things, high evening cortisol causes massive cravings and
    hunger... the eat-all-evening syndrome. So depending on how a
    glucocorticoid is dosed and when can make a big difference to your appetite.

    Also, cortisol levels being weird can mask thyroid problems - you can
    have normal TSH even with wildly abnormally low T3 and T4. So make sure
    they test free T3 and T4, not just TSH.
