I believe the new Atkins book (which I can't get here in Australia just yet) is a lot harder on the use of Artifical Sweeteners.

I do find these slow down my weight loss. I've been stalled for 5 days (too many low carb sweets on induction I expect).

Can someone please tell me what the new recommended intake of Splenda is per day on Induction? I heard 3 packets? I don't really understand what that measurement is. Here Splenda comes in little sachets that each measure 1/2 teaspoon. Is this what a packet is in North America?

Would SF Jelly still be allowed on Induction? I am not drinking diet sodas and hate aspartame, so that's not a problem.

I am also curious about whether Pork Rinds would slow weight loss?

Thanks
Kim
