years, regular soda tastes sickeningly sweet to me. My taste buds have
been well trained 😉Quoted message said: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.
