This is my day 4 on ph 2 and so far i hav,t cheated ( thats good) but i have few Qs

can splenda sweetened stuff bring back cravings for sugar???? i eat 1 sf jello each day and also a yogurt(i make my own yogurt at home with skim milk)
sweetened with splenda these r my 2 sweet treats . is this ok ? and sec thing is that i am scared of bringing back carbs i think that i won,t lose weight if i do . so for this first week my plan was to have 1 serv wholegrain 3 days and then one fruit the rest of the week.
and then next week i,ll go to 1 grain and 1 fruit each day . how does this sound ????

Hi, you don't have to worry about Splenda causing the physical cravings associated with sugars and starches.

Hello

How do you make your own yogurt?

hi,
its really easy but u have to have little bit of plain yogurt at first like if u have left over from market .
take 16 oz 1% or skim milk and boil it, mix 2 Tbsp of nonfat dry milk in hot milk too and let it cool a bit till its warm to the touch .
put 2 tbsp of yogurt (use nonfat ) in a container in wich u r going to make the yogurt .
mix the milk in when its warm and put the container in the oven on top of a oven proof dish .
heat oven on warm for ten min. and turn it off and keep the container inside over night .put it in fridge the next morning .
i usually make yogurt at night .
