Most powdered sweeteners add sugar of some sort for bulk. I tend to use stevia drops to avoid that.0

KnitorMiss...I have been told at one point by my Dr that besides type 2 diabetes I have insulin resistance and metobolic syndrom.
I would be interested in your comprehensive list if you can point me to it and any other info you have that has been working for you with insulin resistance. I never ate more then 1 Atkins bar a day but I did also add carbquick mix and low carb tortillas. I think maybe I will test my Blood sugar before eating any of those things and after to see if they are giving me a bigger reaction then expected. I only made a couple things with the carbquick and did not have much of it and same with the tortillas. No more then 2 small ones per day. With adding several different foods it is hard to tell exactly if the bars kicked me out of ketosis but I am pretty sure they were.
Wonderful information from everyone. I have been using swerve sweetener for the occasional cup of tea but usually I drink coffee with just 1 carb per cup Almond milk and some heavy cream. I may get some of the liquid stevia and try it. I bought some pure stevia powder (guaranteed no fillers added) but I have not used much of that so far.0 -

I sent this to you in PM, but the most recent time I can find that I typed it out was on this thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10238488/fake-sweeteners-seriously#latest
Honestly, I avoid anything breadlike. I would consider using crepes made from egg and cream cheese, but that's about it... At the very beginning, I used Joseph's Lavash Flatbread and Pitas, but I honestly feel fuller if I take the time to eat slowly from a plate, and I get fuller from eating WITHOUT the bread, even fake bread, as I just dont' have to worry about digesting all that - my body can get straight to the fuel.
Stevia tends to work best WITH another sweetener, as it is more of an amplifier...0 -

So much soy product and the sweeteners they use, regardless of what Net carb count they claim on the package, cannot possibly be good for you in the long run. I did best on Atkins when I ate meat, cheese, eggs, and salads. Once I added the shakes and bars, weight loss stopped and I craved something sweet every day. I figured that craving was normal, but now I see it was created by consuming the products.
My advice is = Eat real foods, not commercially baked/created/packaged products, and you will see the difference in appetite and cravings.
