   did you use xylitol during the diet? i use it but didn’t until maintenance. i agree—stevia is awful stuff. i also love Madhava Agave nectar.

     Some stevias don’t have that bitter aftertaste and taste a lot better.

   I love the flavored stevia. If you use the powdered, it does have a bit to it. But the liquid stevia isn’t like that. It’s the best in yogurt, flax seed muffins, and anywhere i want to sweeten up something.

   I use Truvia in P3. It is 97% stevia ad 3% erythritol. I don’t use it alot, but do put a little in my coffee and on fruit with whipping cream poured over. YUM!

   Much to my horror…I found that the bulk powdered Stevia I’ve been using has maltodextrin in it! Wondering if that’s been making my appetite a little crazy? I found a sweetener called Erythritol at Whole Foods today…I googled it and it had positive results…has anyone else ever tried it?

   It can cause diarrhea so use in moderation. You can also use Sweetleaf
   Stevia and NOW brand liquid..

   I love Stevia Glycerite by NOW it is the best tasting stevia and I use it in all my teas; no bitterness. The English Toffee by SweetLeaf is also another favorite. It’s great in cottage cheese.

   I use the NuNaturals Clear Stevia Liquid and it doesn’t contain any maltodextrin and it doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste.  I really like it in my tea/coffee.
