Comment on Stevia Shoot-Out: Truvia vs. Stevia in the Raw vs. Splenda by Sizzlechest

I’ve used sucralose in baking with great success. However, some recipes that require a lot of sweetener end up having a mild aftertaste. I used a 50/50 Truvia/Splenda mix and achieved great results. BTW, if you want to avoid carbs, buy a liquid Splenda product, like EZ-Sweetz.

Congrats on your weight loss. Found your site while searching for Truvia in bulk quantities. No such thing yet. I have been working a 12 step program to assist me in losing the weight I need to lose. I’m not in the 100 pound club, but I have friends who have lost 100 pounds and are keeping it off. I think a blog community is a great idea. Thanks for your posts.

Just bought Truvia last night. It was suggested that I switch from Splenda to Truvia by a person I consult with on nutrition. I have not yet bought into or educated myself on any “dangers” of splenda due to good solid research. However, I have benefited greatly by following the advice of this nutritionist friend. After using Truvia in my coffee this morning, my experience was very similar, if not exact, to yours. It took more Truvia to equal the sweetness of Splenda and there is a very slight licorice taste which I only noticed after reading your comment while drinking my coffee. Not a big concern to me, especially if I didn’t notice it to begin with. But the Truvia has a smooth taste like raw sugar. I think I can adapt to it and right now the cost isn’t much of a factor since I’m primarily using it in my coffee. I will have to carry some around with me as it is not in the coffee shops. Q – do you have any genuinely researched info on Splenda that shows it is a concern?
Thanks for the taste test and posted results. Martin

Having tried all the sweetners listed above, Splenda in coffee is very good. but I found that the Stevia in the raw in my coffee is absolutely yummy! With Truvia I found that the after taste was rather strong. Iced tea is lousy with both Truvia and Stevia in the raw, Equal is not much better, Splenda is good, but my first choice for iced tea is always Sweet N Low. It dissolves instantly and works very well with the cold tea. The only hot tea I drink is at Chinese food and I use sugar for that.

2 lbs per week is awesome – 30 odd weeks and you’re there! Keep up the great work.

Hang in there! Sometimes you can plateau for a week or so and then you’ll go right back to losing again…..frustrating, but just keep doing what you’re doing and the process will jump start itself again. As for me, the wedding I’ve been dieting for is this coming weekend….and just this morning, I hit my 10lb. goal with a few days to spare before Saturday! Thank God for small miracles! A few more days to eat sensibly before I devour some wedding cake! I’m in your corner and cheering you on – you can do it! Thanks for your inspiration, I’m enjoying keeping tabs thru your blog.
