Artificial Sweetner calling on Shadow...

[Foxy Cleopatra]

So its not as artificial as Sweet and Low right?? Come one guys, I know you put something in that oatmeal in the beginning of your diet to get the oatmeal down better.. Confess!!!

Miss 24K did you take out the splenda 2-3 weeks out from your show??

Thanks for the insight all!!!

Hi!!

Sucralose is just as artificial as Sweet n Low. It is made from sugar but what they do to it to make it non-caloric makes it processed and dangerous. Try using 1/3c frozen blueberries. It's less than 40 calories, it's low GI, chock full of vitamins, and they are really yummy when you thaw them out and put them in oatmeal. That can bring you to one week out from show...

Hi there Foxy!!!

1/3 cup of blueberries, I think that comes out to 15g of carbs. My meal ratio is protein 25/ 20 carbs, so the 1/3 of oatmeal plus 1/2 cup of veggies in my egg whites equal 20g of carbs in one meal, adding the fruit would put me up to 35g in one meal

Plus I thought we had to keep the simple sugars such as fruit down to a minimum, I usually only have fruit put into my post work out shake to replinish glycogen levels.. oh my when you think you know it all, you dont know nothing.. LOL>>> aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.. sorry guys going a little nuts!!!

Do you have to be a platinum member to post pics??

Get at me people - 8 weeks out!!!

Hi Ischia!!

One third cup of blueberries is 7g of carbs! You can't beat it. That would put you at 27g. And you really only want it for flavoring, so you could get away with 1/4c which is 5g.

And are you figure or bodybuilding? If you are figure, you can have it b/c your bodyfat typically doesn't have to be as low. You can afford it first thing in the morning or right before you train. Or better yet, are you where you want to be physique-wise? Because something like this will not make you gain or affect your conditioning, but it might keep you from you from losing that last teeny weeny bit.

Foxy,

I will be competing in figure!! Oh my to have blueberries in my oatmeal would be absolute heaven!!

No I am not truly where i want to be physically right now but than again my ideal body would be like Jenny Lynn or Monica brant.. lol.

I am not that far off, i am currently at 16% body fat, I am 5'6 and weight about 136 lbs but i know that sometimes these numbers are irrelevant.

Looks like i need to pull out my nutrition books again!! I have got my measurements a bit off

I will try to post some pics tonight after my workout.. I hope it works.

Thanks

Or you could try stevia

look it up before you spend your money
Blueberries totally work though. Mostly fiber, HIGH ARSE antiox. and sweet as hell ;]
Stevia is purdy cool tho...expensive but cool. Can you tell I'm REALLY tired? heh

You know.. Splenda and Sweet and Low are officially out of the diet, i took out my nutrition books yesterday and did a little refresh!!! Thanks for all the help!!!

if you're going to be switching to stevia, go ahead it's better for you, it's all natural, however you STILL will need to cut that out before you compete. Stevia can cause bloating.
