Does anyone else have a real problem with sweetners? All of them make me sick. I thought I would get used to it but it got worse by the day. I think I have tried them all. I finally decided to to allow myself 1 or 2 cups of tea with sugar per day. I am still losing slowly but really wish I could do it like everyone else. I gave up coffee and swithched to tea because I knew I would need real sugar and milk in my coffee. Since I am not used to the tea sticking to my limit isn't difficult. I just don't want to give up all caffine.

How bad will this effect my efforts? Does anyone else have this problem with sweetners?

Please advise

I agree with everyone else here and think you should try it w/out the sugar.

Thanks anna I will try it straight, you sound pretty convincing! I am not craving sweets, but really like to have the two cups of caffine per day! Sometimes I don't even finish the cup, but I crave it if I don't have it. I will start sipping straight tomorrow.

Thanks for all the info! This thread became very informative. I sure got the good, bad, ugly on artificial sweetners and sugar. I have not had any sugar cravings, but will try it straight. Thanks again.
