I love Stevia! I bought a pound of it (gallon bag size) and use it all the time. Whenever I brew teas I just put in a pinch or two. It doesn't take very much as it is so sweet. I find that if I use too much it gives the taste a whang. You can also get it in powder in packets at most grocery stores. It looks expensive but you only use a very small amount which makes it last a while. I find liquid in small bottles at my local health food store and like that over the powder to carry in my purse.
Stephanie This might help The dr told me 3 yrs ago if I didnt change the way I eat I would be a diabetic Let me tell you I love sugar and made upmy mind to stop cold turkey Through a lot of prayer I did and its been 3 yrs and I STILL CRAVE IT but I feel so much more in control Give it a try HUGS Bert Bush
Stephanie, I know where you're coming from! Taking meds. twisted my sugar intake somewhat. Was forced to cut it out of my diet. I found the easiest way to adapt myself to this was using some other types of food to "trick" my appetite! Every morning before a meal, take a 1/3 cup drink of coconut water from a fresh young(green)coconut. A small cutting of the coconut meat as part of breakfast works great for the entire day on me. It slims one's appetite, & is m.nature's help to keep ourselfves slim;- for when we cheat. Having natural sugar is safer & definately more satisfying both mentally & physically. I lost over 5 pounds by it! Figs are great too. Hope this helps 'ya! Bye! Tara
