I'm new to this and reading the Atkins New Diet Revolution book which
suggests avoiding aspartame and caffeine -- slows weight loss. All the diet
sodas I've checked so far are sweetened with aspartame -- likewise, diet
jello.

Does anyone have any experience with this -- does it really hamper
weight-loss.

Can you suggest aspartame-free products. Thanks for the help.

Diet Rite, Diet RC, Wais****chers, diet Hansens, diet Crush, diet Clearly
Canadian, Cascadia, Veryfine Fruit-2o, and the Crystal Lite in bottles
(Crystal Lite powder still has aspartame).

There's no non-aspartame jello mix available in grocery stores, but you
can make it with unsweetened Kool-aid, Splenda and gelatin. If you can
find them, the sugarfree Jolly Rancher jello cups don't have aspartame.

Some people have no problem with aspartame, and some people have no
problems with caffeine, so it's a "your body, your experiment" sort
of deal. Both were considered okay in some of the earlier versions of
Atkins' book.
