I use some Splenda in moderation... it's in my protein powders for instance and I occasionally use some of the Splenda based syrups by Torani and DaVinci. However, I've more or less dropped my diet soda habit in favor of water and green and other teas. I just feel better with plain old water going in than I do with diet soda. I also had the problem with the diet soda that the sweet taste tended to trigger a craving for something salty and crunchy like Doritos chips! So I'll stick with my water and tea and only occasionally have the diet soda. But yeah, if the body fat is going down, I'm not discouraged. Just wish things happened faster, but well, don't we all!

One of the best ways to get that sweettooth fix without the goolish calorie count is to drink diet soda. I know a lot of people tend to complain a lot about the "high" sodium count in diet soda, but honestly, the only thing that sodium is going to do is make the numbers a little less friendly. The tradeoff of a "treat" and no calories makes this an easy pick in terms of weight loss. Caffeine is also a mild appetite suppressant. At zero calories, it sure beats any calorie-containing alternative. Trust the fat percentage, don't let the numbers get you down!
