    Sugar in my coffee. Sorry I just can't do the artificial sweeteners. They taste a little weird to me. I use less than a tsp of sugar in my coffee so the calories really are pretty negligible.

    Although I do drink diet dr pepper sooo??

    Monk fruit is the best for me ... there is no funky aftertaste that stevia and artificial sweeteners tend to have. I also use SugaVida for my coffee. It is pricey but full of vitamins and minerals. It has a caramel-like back flavor which makes it great for coffee. I also use coconut sugar sometimes. I try to avoid white sugar.

    Lakanto (erythritol and monk fruit) for baking. Stevia for tea and smoothies, the Whole Foods or traders joes stevia powdered extract.

    There are “natural sweeteners” like Xylatol or erythitol that are very close to sugar. I run a cooking school for Non chefs and dessert is s big issue during our Keo Cooking classes. We just made Panna Cotta with it and it’s better than aspartame for sure. We found our seeet palate has a much lower threshold when you go Keto.

    Bocha Sweet is expensive but is the only thing I use to bake with now. It acts very close to sugar and it doesn’t taste like a sacrifice.

    I really dislike artificial sweeteners. I use light agave syrup in my coffee, I find I use less of it then I would sugar in my coffee.

    I really like these (the thing with Stevia - if you hate the weird taste avoid those 'cut' with Maltodextrin! It makes it taste just terrible to me):
