Sweetners?

[GLC1968]

We use the Sweetleaf brand stevia as well. It's nothing but stevia and a tiny amount goes a LONG way. I put 1/8 of a tsp in my husband's coffee and he likens it to 2 tsp of sugar in terms of sweetness.

I agree with weaning yourself off sugar all together though. I did it when I graduated from college because I just didn't want the hassle of sugar in my coffee. Now I can't stand sweet coffee, so it's possible. Start by reducing the amount a little by little. I'd bet that in a month, you could totally adjust to sugar free without too much pain.

Can you find real honey? I guess you can use a little in your coffee in the morning. But don't add it to very hot beverages because the healthy ingredients are destroyed.

I use Stevia mixed with Erythritol, which is a sugar alcohol but which has next to no calories and doesn't effect blood sugar. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol

The brand I use is Truvia, which is widely available.

I agree with this. I find that sweetners can cause stomach issue's and stevia doesn't. It might get a bit of time getting used to it. But I like it now. Maple syrup is good too!
