Is this possible? I am not sure yet which is the culprit but when I have coffee (usually with splenda syrups) I have a crash similar to someone coming off cocaine! I get sick, heart palps, dizzy, aggressive, emotional....I used to drink coffee all the time!! I still drink caffinated tea and have no problems. I am really thinking it might be the splenda - I do not lose weight when I have splenda regularly. I think you should have more faith in you understanding of your own body. If you don't think splenda is working for you then don't take it. I know it is supposed to have no effect on weight loss but it does for me, for certain. I also feel hungrier and very weird after having a lot of it. Anyone else have any comments? Splenda has been great for me. No problems whatsoever. I've taken to carrying a few packets in my purse in case I'm having coffee away from home. But YMMV. I dont want to have to give up these two things - I am getting to the point where I can barely have any foods that dont make me sick and fat. SIGH! V. Well, V, ALL foods will make you sick and fat in excess. Keep at it - you've got every meal for the rest of your life to figure out how to feed your body. You'll get it eventually, considering how much practice you get to do! Dally 244/175.5/169 |

Insanity from Caffeine and Splenda
"Carol Frilegh" wrote in message "First, most splenda is packed in a filler called maltodextrin. This is a starch and is very difficult to digest. So it is not allowed on the diet. Splenda, aka sucralose, is a sucrose-like molecule. Basically, they have added Chlorine atoms to sucrose to make it indigestible by humans. However, since it is not digestible by us, it does not get absorbed and passes down the GI tract. It is digestible by bacteria. So in essence, if you consume sucralose, you are sending down an energy source to the bacteria you are trying to starve. So sucralose is not allowed. -- Diva ****** There is no substitute for the right food Hi Carol.... do you have a link for this study? |

This relates to my Specific Carbohydrate Diet which is not for weight loss and excludes maltodextrin, also Stevia. http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q...&sp-a=sp1002d7 28&sp-p=all&sp-f=ISO-8859-1 -- Diva ****** There is no substitute for the right food |

Is this possible? You sure like to take the most dramatic approach you can think of to any issue. I am not sure yet which is the culprit but when I have coffee (usually with splenda syrups) I have a crash similar to someone coming off cocaine! I get sick, heart palps, dizzy, aggressive, emotional.... Classic low blood sugar symptoms linked with the release of adrenaline in response to the low blood sugar. Caffeine makes any existing hypoglycemic symptoms worse. I still drink caffinated tea and have no problems. Right, the caffeine almost certainly. I am really thinking it might be the splenda That's quite an assumption in the face of symptoms that are classic for low blood sugar. I do not lose weight when I have splenda regularly. I know it is supposed to have no effect on weight loss but it does for me, Who cares about what it's supposed to do. Everyone is different. for certain. Dubious since you jump to conclusions far too fast. I also feel hungrier and very weird after having a lot of it. What's a lot? Some folks take 3 packets per day as their maximum. Are you using more than that? Anyone else have any comments? Drop splenda and caffeine *separately*. Drop one this week and wait two weeks. Then add that one back and drop the other. Because your symptoms sound like hypoglycemia, look closely at your carb intake. Actually how spread out it is across the day more than the amount of carbs. |
