1. Which is your preferred product sweetener?
Splenda
2. Do you find sucralose acceptable as a sweetener?
Absolutely - see answer one above!
3. Do you find polyols such as maltitol acceptable as sweeteners?
If there's no alternative, but only in small doses.
4. Do you find that polyols cause gastrointestinal discomfort or have a laxative effect?
Yes.
5. Do you find soy an acceptable product ingredient?
Yes, but I find the flavour just using soy flour is too strong
6. Do you find whey protein an acceptable product ingredient?
Yes, I mix it with soy flour to leaven the taste.
7. Are you put off by the price of the Atkins products?
Yes.
8. Would you like to see other branded low carb products available in your high street?
Yes, but not full of artificial rubbish.
9. What is the maximum carb content you would consider for each product?
Don't know, depends on the product.
10. Do you think the current practice of subtracting carbohydrates from polyols / glycerine and labelling products as “net” carbs or “effective carb count” labelling is misleading?
No.
11. Do you find that your weight loss stalls when consuming products containing
polyols/glycerine?
No.

Cf 10 above.
