I drink 1-2 Diet Rites/day + 1-2 cups of tea, with 1-2 packets of Splenda and oatmeal for breakfast with 2 packets of Splenda. What about sugar-free gum? I chew a lot of that - is that bad for me too? I dunno, it seems like some of this stuff is fear-mongering.
I have no idea really. I garbled up my diet so bad over the past couple of weeks, and gained about 6 lbs! So, Monday I went back on my low carb (minus the sweetners--and I did ALOT of splenda) and have lost 6 lbs (so I know it was fluid). My joints feel somewhate better (not 100% but maybe that never will be the case) but they always feel better when I'm on the induction phase of Atkins. I'm just tired of being THAT low carb....
