Question sweet on NutraSweet

Is aspartame (NutraSweet) really bad for the Atikins diet? When I make my "low carb mousse", I prefer the taste to saccarine as well as Splenda. I drink diet Cokes and diet Dr. Peppers all the time---is this affecting my weight loss?

Default I dunno.

I've heard of people who never let go of those sweeteners and still had fantastic results with Atkins.

DANDR does insist that those sweeteners can slow weight loss -- but I guess it could be different for different people.

There's an advantage to giving them up altogether: you lose you taste for sweet things. You'll find you can't even tolerate moderately sweet foods that you used to think weren't sweet at all.

Losing the appetite for intensely sweet foods could probably be a good thing, in terms of lifetime health.
