Has anyone used stevia instead of splenda?
Hello.... I am new to south beach diet. I started about 10 days ago and have lots a ridiculous amount of weight (7 lbs).
Quick question, I want to try some of your recipes... has anyone used stevia for baking muffins instead of splenda? what's the result? I have been having splenda in my coffee since started the diet, but I am not comfortable with having this chemical. Thanks! |
Stevia is a popular choice for many here. Personally I use fruit or honey for sweetners for baking. I try to use natural sweeteners. I know they say stevia is natural, but I am skeptic of "new" natural stuff.

I have substituted stevia for splenda. I do not use splenda at all. I just cut down as you do not need as much stevia in the receipe.

Thanks I will try that! I thought sugar wasn't allowed.... but I guess to have it every now and then shouldn't be so bad?

Carla Hi :wave: I'm not on South Beach but I recently found this product that I have been using in my morning coffee. It's suppose to be good for baking, too. I buy it from my local store and it's cheaper there. http://www.vitacost.com/wholesome-sw...FYc7gQodkI8FIg

Please post CarlaVeg if it works for you and you don't have any adverse affects! Unfortunately, a lot of the sugar substitutes like splenda make me very sick to my stomach.

I use Stevia in baking. Uses a lot less than other sweeteners and doesn't mess with my bowels. :-) I'm a fan.
