Splenda & Sprite Zero

#1

I currently use splenda in my coffee and drink a Sprite zero with Vodka each day. How will this effect my weightloss?

Welcome Geegee.

Alcohol is a toxin so our liver will pretty much put ketosis on pause while it prioritizes the removal of that toxin. I don’t see anything wrong with an ocassional drink but just know that it will affect your weight loss to some degree.

Splenda is a combination of sucralose, dextrose and maltodextrin and I personally try to avoid anything with an -ose suffix.

Natural Sweeteners that have no/minimal affect on glucose:

  • Stevia (has a bitter after taste at first)
  • Allulose (may cause GI distress)
  • Monkfruit (most sugar like sweetener in my opinion)

Thanks for info Carl. I’ve tried Stevia but not a fan of it. I guess I need to just try cream only in my coffee. I don’t have a drink every day but I know any alcohol is not good for you. I’ve tried club soda with lime and that’s ok. I think that will be better than Sprite for me.
