I always use splenda granulated. It's the only one that I have tried that I like. Check the carb content of the stevia I would say.

I'm in ketosis, so splenda hasn't harmed me in that respect.

hmmmm im guessing not then as it has 1.5g carbs per sachet bugger should of looked at that before i bought it. but splenda is ok? i guess ill go out and rebuy lol

Splenda is 0.5g carbs per tsp. So better that stevia is seems?

Or if you get the tabs then there is only a trace of carbs per tab

Why? I always use powdered sweetener 7 weeks now. I use the yellow tub from Asda made with sucralose. I stay clear of the red tub that's made with aspartame .

Youre only meant to have tablet sweetner on a VLCD... I think its to do with the carbs but all the VLCD companies are unanimous, tablets only

Well I'm going to be a rebel I'm afraid. I only have the tabs in work (begrudgingly) When I'm at home I always have the splenda granulated. I'm pretty sure I can live with an extra 1g of carbs a day
