Can anyone recommend a low/no carb sugar substitute that doesn't taste artificial and have a bitter aftertaste? I've been using Spenda and I kind of hate it - I know some people think it's great, but to me it tastes too sweet and chemical-y. I'm specifically looking for something that I can bake with (like a low carb cheesecake, for example).

A co-worker claims to have lost 4.5 pounds in the last six days on the South Beach Diet. This person goes on to claim that most people lose around 10 pounds in two weeks, then lose additional weight more slowly. So, is this possible? I think he is just losing water. But maybe I'm wrong--do these low-carb diets really, truly work? [more inside]

AtkinsFilter! Okay, not really. I am not doing a low-carb thing nor do I wish to. I'm a vegetarian, which makes it hard. But therein is my dilemma, my analyses of my daily intake(s) show that I'm a little more carb-heavy in my diet than I need or would like to be. So I turn to the low-carbers for suggestions on foods that I can eat to help balance me out a bit. [More inside] [more inside]
