I like Monk Fruit better than Stevia. Much less bitter in my opinion. Also, totally natural. I use Monk Fruit in the raw, which is available at almost all grocery stores.

I really like sparkling waters. They come in lots of different flavors, and they have no added or artificial sweeteners. Also, iced tea is great, and the flavor options are pretty much endless. Celestial Seasonings has all sorts of different fruit teas that are delicious.

And yes, I do feel better, and I've noticed an improvement in my mood, sleep and skin. I'm in it for the long haul, I'm just looking for some input to make sure I'm on the right track.

Thanks for the info. My measurements have pretty much been the same, however I feel like my face looks thinner. My diary is open, so feel free to take a peek, and don't worry, I will Keto on.
