Have you tried stevia, Ruchie? Research shows that it actually significantly reduces sugar cravings. It's natural, non-carcinogenic. It's been around for over 1500 years. The Japanese use it versus aspartame (which is banned in Japan). Why not try that? It's supposed to be good for digestion, even. I've read that taking 10-15 drops prior to a meal reduces appetite, even. It's available in powder form as well as liquid drops. Don't expect it to be sweet in quite the same way as sugar, though. Seriously, give it a shot. It's supposed to be really helpful for hypoglycemia. Zero calories, zero carbs. Hey, they put it in the new toothpaste I switched to, even--this one doesn't nearly make me gag or cause an a.m. attack.
