Hi Steve.. a couple of thoughts.

1) Although I haven't lost a desire for sweet.. my taste buds have changed. Melon and strawberries taste much sweeter to me after being off sugar for awhile, so although I still crave sweets from time to time, when I'm actually being consistently "good", what I consider sweet changes.

2) Some things are sweet without artificial sweetners.. cream for example. You know the redi-whip in the can? No artificial sweetners, just whipped cream.. yum.

Hope things are still going well for you. Although I met goal a few years ago, I still struggle day to day and have gained a fair amount of weight back, but I don't think that's specific to LC, I think that's true with any way of eating. If you stray, you gain.

Mike
