xylitol question
I prefer using xylitol as a sweetner over stevia (taste) and splenda(taste and potential side effects) allthough I have both and do use them on accasion.
For the last two days i have been using xylitol in my tea (so maybe two tsp a day). I am aware of the whole debate about sugar alcohols and some say that you count all carbs, none or some. I have not been counting the carbs and still am in ketosis. So should I assume all is well? I am on day six of induction and lost a bunch of weight the first few days (5 pounds in 4 days). Yesterday and today I stayed at the same weight (also my TOM).
I guess my questions is: if you are using sugar alcohols and you are still in ketosis, is all well or can they still cause stall or gain?
Thanks!
Tanya
