splenda
 

I was wondering does using splenda versus other artificial sweeteners take you out of ketosis?? Just wanted to clear that up before I used it. I prefer it to the others since it doesn't seem to leave an after taste, and I can't seem to drink tea with the other ones.
Thanks

Nope. Watch the carb counts though; powdered Splenda has maltodextrin added as a filler to bulk it out, so if you use tons of it, the carbs can add up.

Splenda doesn't melt at all does it?
I tried to "cook" with it in the microwave and it was a horrible experience. (I took bakers chocolate and tried to melt it with splenda, instead the splenda soaked up the melted chocolate to make a gritty paste, and it tasted really bad) Is it like bake only? I also tried it in whipped cream and it was terrible. Do I just not like it? Or am I doing it wrong?

Melt the chocolate first then stir in the Splenda. Let is sit for a while then the grittiness goes away. Splenda should not be used cup for cup. It will be way too sweet. Use it to taste.

If two sweeteners are mixed - Splenda and Sugar Twin is a good combo - they seem to work synergistically and you can use much less of each for a sweeter taste.
