Sweetener Debate
The artificial sweetener debate is of interest to me... I switched to sweeteners a while ago after my dentist told me i had to cut back on sugar. I use approx 4-8 teaspoons of sweetner in my coffees/teas over the course of a day. So, is that ok, or not?

Food Diary HELP!!!!!!!
I'm having such a headache entering certain meals into my food diary. For example, this evening my partner is cooking Carbonara for our tea.
