A new month already!
In the month of August I decided to try cutting out artificial sweeteners for 90 days. For one thing, I didn't like the 'hold' they had over me - I felt like I simply could not enjoy tea without sweetener, And I drink, easily, 4-5 mugs of tea a day. That's going well and I feel good about it. When the 90 days is up I may allow myself a limited amount of AS either daily or weekly... we'll see.
At the same time I also cut back on the amount of cream I consume, and started using butter and coconut oil in my morning coffees. I really like the flavour - you can taste the dark roastiness of the coffee more, but it is buffered by the oils so not as harsh as black. I use a little battery hand blender as well and it gets quite thick - a great mouth feel!
I've only been on this WOE for about 2 1/2 years and am still astounded that adding all this extra fat and calories has not caused any weight gain!
