    Different sweeteners are invented for different people...if one thing worked for us all, there wouldn't be so many choices on the market.

    I use 2-4 packets of Splenda a day and last week I achieved 40 pounds lost since February of this year. I don't generally crave sweet things other than the occasional donut (my weakness) and I eat fruit for breakfast with my coffee, so I don't know if that negates the makes-you-crave-sweets thing others have spoken about.

    My headaches are triggered by carb overloads and alcohol, which I didn't know until I started food tracking. I thought it was a gluten thing but the combo is what generally gets me, 12-24 hours later. Moderation on this diet has been really good for me and will probably continue into my lifestyle change during maintenance.

    Its not about the weight loss ...imho if you cut sugar in any form it will help you lose weight, I would be concerned about the medical side effects these artificial sweeteners have on you.
