Like you, I'm not fond of the taste of real mayo either, so I use Miracle Whip regular (not light). It does have a tad of sugar in it. If you are not a purist to this WOL and can live with it, then I don't see how it will hurt. I've lost 19.5 pounds and use Miracle Whip almost every day. Your milage may vary.

It depends on what you want to get out of this new way of eating. I've chosen to be informed about what goes in my mouth, but I'm not going to micromanage the itsy bitsy things.
