Thanks tkdtara84
I took the guggul and liver cleanse I think. Those were the only ones that seemed safe after my research. I think I only used one or two bottles of them.
That's interesting, I've never heard of a test for sensitivity to artificial sweeteners. Is that like an allergy test? I just know that they're not good for the body period, but having all this weight on me isn't good either..
When substituting cottage cheese do you know if it needs to be fat free or is low fat ok?
I bought some whey protein that is very close to the HNS protein/carb/sugar/fat levels. It doesn't have much taste tho and it needs something added - and not another fake sweetener
. I'm trying to concoct my own drinks, but I'm kind of an all or nothing gal. My brain wants to fully be on the real diet or not at all. I need to get over that tho - lol
... Also, I think part of the reason I was able to do so well on the diet before was that the HNS drinks were sooo overly sweet that they curbed my appetite for anything else sweet.
