Splenda creating cravings?

toetag · 09-22-2004, 07:41 PM

I am not a sweets junkie. Couldn't care less about the candy, cakes, cookies, etc. (battered and fried foods - YES!).

I've been on the diet a few weeks, and recently switched from Diet Coke (my favorite) to soft drinks containing Splenda instead of aspartame.

Suddenly I am experiencing MAJOR sugar cravings!

Could this be due to the Splenda (these soft drinks are VERY sweet), or just an adjustment to the diet?

In my experience, it's true for me. This is why I try to avoid sweet stuff, even with Splenda. I get bad cravings..
