That is the main reason I like sticking with low carb. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth and it gets me into a loootttta trouble. I was at the point where I knew it was an addiction and I wanted to get control and low carb was the way. When I was on low-fat (most of my life) I loved it becasue I could eat all the sugar I wanted, so cheating would ensue quite often.

My husband is diabetic and I see cutting out sugar as not only a great way to stay on top of my weight control, but also as a partnership with him.

My favorite low-carb dessert right now:
sliced strawberries sprinkled with splenda, blueberries and then topped off with a bit of heaving whipping cream. Berries and cream, d'lish!!

Hi Dulcie,
you may be right. I have noticed issues with the sugar free candy, but not with splenda on my berries. If it's real bad I just have to not eat anything sweet-ish, but go straight for olives stuffed with almonds, or a meat and cheese snack. I swear by the atkins shakes when I just can't eat anything though.. they are great.
