Hi: very c confused about the sweet&low sold here (Israel)
the ingredientes are 97% dextrose and 3% saccharin..
This doesn't sound right...
What can I do?... The other sweetners are aspartame??? Is there anything else... ( splenda is not sold here).
I started to use less amounts, but give me a break!...Decaf,black and no sweetner...Will it really stall my weight loss?
Please some advise!!!!!

Is it possible to order some on-line or have someone send it to you?? The Splenda, I mean

N.

Thanks, My husband is going to NYC in a couple of weeks, I'll have him buy it...
Are there other things you can suggest I get?
Thanks again for your reply..

Check out the lo-carb products forum for ideas.

In Canada, Splenda has carbs in it....Equal looks so,so...So I found cyclamates like Doc Atkins always wanted....in liquid Sucryl or Sucaryl.....What do you guys think is the best sweetner??? Things have changed content wise since the old Atkins book....

It's really wierd with the sweetners... I'm gonna try reducing the amount I take... to see what happens
Here it's difficult cuase you don't have any low carb treats or any thing like they do in the States...so when you get the munchies
there's not a lot you can calm yourself with... This has been my problem for years... I dream of sweets!!!!
Any ways we have to hang on there....
Thanks for the kind words...it helps to know there are others out there
By for now you all,
Claudia

hi there,

The dextrose is used as a filler; I'm sure if you check the nutrient data panel, the carb count per serving should be less than 1 gram. Even splenda uses a carbohydrate filler ... maltodextrin, and it also provides approx. 1 gram per serving.

Are you able to get Hermesetas tablets in your area?? These have been around forever, and available all over the world as far as I know. These are made with saccharin, but there's only a tiny amount of filler used to make the tablet. That might be an option, if you can find them.

hth,

Doreen,Hi:
Amazing, I just read your message and you wont believe, I found the Hermesetas and I bought them...Hurray!!!! what's the carb count on those?

Today is gone. Today was fun.
Tomorrow is another one.

hi Claudia,

Hermesetas tablets are so tiny, I doubt there's more than a trace of carbs in each one. It would probably take 10 or 15 tablets to make up one gram.

I didn't realize that Hermesetas also come in a "gold" formula, that's made with aspartame. The original (saccharin) comes in blue package.

hth,

Doreen
