Hi,
We can use yellow mustard - it definitely helps to add some flavor to some of our meals.
As for the splenda, I've heard different opinions. My current coach says with regards to sweetners, to use the yellow packets (which is Spleda), but a previous coach suggested no sweetners at all. I think his philosophy was to avoid sweetening our food at all so that we don't get 'addicted' to the sweetness and want to add sugar to our foods/drinks, etc once we phase off. But I'm not sure that I buy that.
At this point I think adding a bit of sweetener (if it's 'legal' for us) may help us maintain interest in the foods that we are eating and sometimes that is what we need.
Not sure if others may have heard other info, but that is just what I have been told.
