Aspartame slowed me down...
I lost 7 lbs. during my two week induction and then nothing... That was three weeks ago. I had been drinking at least 3 or 4 Diet Mtn. Dews a day. Well, I ran out of them and didn't buy any more. I got Diet Rite instead. Needless to say, I have lost six pounds in the last week and it is even that TOM. No more aspartame for me. Bye Bye Diet Mtn. Dew!!! :lol:

Here's hoping for continued success! I'm not sure, though, if what you experienced was from the Aspartame or the dreaded third week stall--maybe a little bit of both. But I'm glad things are moving in the right direction for you. :)

I'm hypoglycemic and really notice the difference when I have aspertame over splenda. It's a BIG difference. My blood sugar spikes bad when I do aspertame. Not to mention I get headaches as well from it. :(

Aspartame has been previously connected with insulin surges. It led to a counter-intuitive situation wherein diet sodas made people gain weight. They traced it to the fact that aspartame caused insulin release.
Splenda does not have this problem for me. |

Ditto but too much Splenda also does this to me. I have opted to stop drinking diet soda (I was drinking 2 cans of Diet Coke a day) in hopes that my losses start up again. |
