Does splenda slow down weight loss on the HCG diet?

Does splenda slow down weight loss on the HCG diet?

Yes, took me three days to start seeing results after I had it.

UGH!!!! Don't do it! Any sugar substitute, besides Stevia (found at heatlh food stores like Wild Oats and Trader Joes), is not allowed!!! Splenda is so bad for you, just like the others! Do the research! Splenda is derived from sugar, yes, but also chlorine! It's a sugar molecule bonded with a chlorine molecule... do you really want that in your system???

Stevia, on the other hand, is completely natural and is even suggested for use in teas and coffees on this diet.

What are the other options other than Stevia? I have many food allergies and found that Stevia was causing an allergic reaction (rash, mouth sores).

Don't do Splenda! Really. Recent studies show that these chemicals along with aspartame put lesions on the brain. They are very dangerous. Stay as far from chemical sweeteners as you can. Stevia is the best!!!

Xylotol is another sugar that is much like stevia. It is sold at the health food store. It kills bacteria and yeast in the body but use in moderation or you will have a healing crisis. (Too many germs killed means too many coming out at once and you could have the diahrrea.

Try Xylitol. It is actually good for you and good for your teeth.

on page 60 of the dr simeons pounds and inches it states you can use splenda. I have been using it and have lost 2- 2.5 lbs a day every day. i love splenda it helps get rid of sugar cravings and makeks tomatos a dessert!!

Dr Simmeons wrote pounds and inches 50 years ago and spenda was not mentioned in it.... Because its only been around for a couple of years.
