One day, I decided to stop - and I haven't had any in more than 2 months now. I don't miss it anymore. I was addicted to Sweet n’ Low for several years.

Diet soda always really grossed me out, and things like splenda and sweet and low always tasted so wrong. I like a little real sugar though. If I am going to have it, I would rather the real thing!

I'm just not a fan of unnaturally flavoring my foods and beverages. Most of the time I also don't have too much of a sweet tooth so I prefer them sugar-less. If I need some for baking or such I go for agave :) Artificial sweeteners scare me too… I’m just not a fan of unnaturally flavoring my foods and beverages.

I was so excited when splenda came out because I felt it was more natural than equal (and obviously tasted better) but much like you, I have shaken this habit because it made me feel hypocritical. I own truvia but I try not to use it. I was definitely addicted to artificial sweeteners.

It seemed good to try and make the switch and the same time and this has worked really well for me. There is an abundance of lovely natural sweeteners (which you have highlighted in beautiful pictures in this post) which I like to employ instead.

I use sugar-free syrup for sweetening unsweetened Almond Milk, and Equal in my coffee/tea. I feel the same way you do. I am all about whole/natural/organic food, but yet I opt for zero-calorie chemical powder. That's why I'm trying to transition to using stevia/Truvia--its just that I love the taste of Equal! <3 I love the photos of naturally sweet foods in this post-so gorgeous!
