S'ok, SlimChance, I do understand what you meant. After being on Atkins for 17 months, I can sit right down among a display of gorgeous cakes, pies, candies, etc., and not even try one. But don't offer me a Sf choice! For a party last Saturday, I made a coconut blender pie with Splenda. At the last minute, I noticed that I had bought sweetened coconut. Darn! Anyhow, made it, warned my diabetic friends of the small amount of sugar in the coconut, and watched it disappear. First time I ever made it, first dessert I have made in ages, and just eating the little excess made me so hungry Sunday that I was in misery. So I made an Lc legal dessert, and was still hungry Mon. However, I'm getting back my equilibrium now, and KNOW that even a tiny bit of sugar , very few carbs, can have bad effects on me. I can eat more carbs as fruit and have less of a reaction. So it's not just the carb count, but the kind of carbs that light my fuse! Sandra
