Will using stevia mess up my weight loss?

Just make sure the product don't have maltodextrian in it. I like sweetleaf brand stevia.

I use Stevia To Go. Its a liquid. It is Stevia Extract and gluten free.

I use stevia in my coffee and so delicious dairy coffee creamer vanilla and Hazlenut made with coconut milk

On the surface, I'd say "no" - it shouldn't mess up your diet because it has like three calories per serving. Or maybe it was zero calories and three grams of carbs. Either way, you'd have to eat a TON of it to gain weight. Also, artificial sweeteners are usually more sweet than regular sugar; I used Truvia for a bit, so I know this applies to Truvia/stevia. You may be able to handle it better than sugar, but...you know, when you put it in your coffee for the first time, start with a small amount. If you used a teaspoon of sugar in your coffee before, don't pour a teaspoon of Truvia in. You can find a conversion from sugar to Truvia on Truvia's website which should help you gague how much you want.

If you're just looking for something to sweeten your coffee, it shouldn't be an issue. The only thing I could think of that might mess up your weight loss is if you try to bake with it. I tried it...I made banana muffins, which were pretty good, but they stuck to their wrappers, and the recipe came out different every time I made it. Anyway, if you use calorie-free sugar substitute as an excuse to start baking sweets or less healthy foods, then you may mess up your progress some because even if the sweetener has no calories, cakes and other sweets are still full of empty calories that add up quickly. That doesn't mean you can't use it to reduce the calories of your favorite dessert...just make sure you know how many calories are really in what you're eating, because even without real sugar, it may still have more calories than you expected.

I hope that helped! Good luck!

Edit - sorry, there was a typo!

No..? Why would it?

Actually the stevia plant has properties that help your body regulate glucose levels. If you aren't doing sugar, stevia is the best substitute. It will help, not hurt.

You need to mention when in it's in natural form. 99% of the packaged stevia is mixed with maltodextrian. That means each packet spike blood sugar levels.

i use truvia, so far hasn't stopped me from losing weight.

Truvia can help you stick to your diet by allowing you to eat sweet treats without cheating on your diet. Foods made with Truvia still have calories, so eat them only in moderation.

I only use one packet for coffee in the morning. Don't touch it again till the next day.

No. It will not mess up your weight loss.

I use a packet of truvia in my overnight oats each morning and have not seen a negative impact. For the record, looking at the packets I have in my desk, there is no maltodextrin listed in the ingredients.

I believe the one with maltodextrin is the stevia for baking. Truvia packets contain Erythritol (sugar alcohol) and rebiana (stevia extract). They basically pull just the sweet part of the plant and remove it from the bitter part. Erythritol is similar to xylitol. I think it's a great mix. It has zero calories and does not spike blood sugars, which makes it safe for diabetics.

I've used KAL pure stevia extract powder for years without any problems. Stevia is the only ingredient. Do be careful about added ingredients.

I also use SweetLeaf Sweet Drops flavored stevia on occasaion & have no problems with it.

Truvia is not stevia. It is an artificial sweetener.
