I do use Splenda for cooking, BUT, and I say but because Zecal is FREE FREE FREE of carbs, fat, fibre, calories and when I look at 24g carb for a cup of Splenda and using Zecal in its place, I know where I want to save grams.
So, I try to use Splenda only when I am making brownies, chocolate nut drops, hot chocolate, or when I am lazy.
Splenda is about $6.80 f;rom Safeway or Woolworths and Coles. I am actually going to mash up some tables, which are half the powdered carb count.
Keep my protein level up and cut the carbs where I can I say
I had a call from GNC last night and they now have Atkins muffin mix and pancake mix -- $20 per pack!!!!! But I admit every once in a while I do love the chocolate almond Atkins bar for $4.25.
They did say they would look into getting the Empower Food products, like cereal, almond bikky mix and chocolate muffin mix. Empower tell me they are releasing more products early next year and are working on a bread mix. Yeah!!
