Thread: Can I do SW if I don't eat sweeteners?

I tried SW a few years ago but the thing which finally sunk me was that I won't eat any artificial sweeteners and it seemed like most free desserts or yogurts were loaded with them. I'm looking to start up again and was just wondering if this is still the case or if there's been some kind of SW magic and now there's something I can eat when I have a bit of a sweet tooth that isn't loaded with nasties? Thanks!

You don't HAVE to have anything you don't want to on SW. All you need to do is make sure you syn whatever it is that you have that has sugar (or other non free foods) in it.
Sweeteners are certainly not an essential part of the plan if you don't want to use them.

Just syn whatever sugar you have. 1 level tspn is 1 syn

A relatively new addition to the range of non-sugar sweeteners is Stevia. It's a plant based sweetener and has no nasty chemicals in it so could be worth a try? Otherwise just syn your sugar as recommended above.
