YA I opted for Stevia over Splenda because its more natural. I want to do atkins not jsut to lose some weight but also to get myself off of processed foods in general. And not just processed carbs. Iwant to try to eat foods that are in their most natural state. So I"M completely avoiding most cheeses, deli meats, hotdogs, and other processed meats. They really are full of alot of garbage our systems could do without. I bet that I'll feel better once I do this. I'll let you know how I feel and do with this approach!
