You can actually substitute it 1 for 1 for oil in any baked product that isn't chocolate (like yellow cake, lemon cake etc) and reduce the sweetener by at least 25%. The same french culinary school friend who told me that trick would also substitute baby-food prunes 1 for 1 for the oil in chocolate baked goods, but I couldn't go that far and haven't tried it myself.Lilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636233439104882868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-91245768096155601682012-05-19T11:15:32.221-04:002012-05-19T11:15:32.221-04:00Thanks!

I am going to have to try to cut out my occasional diet soda (down from a 2-liter-a-day habit in college) and make sure I only chew xylitol-sweetened sugar-free gum.Snarkier Than Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797449606526868507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-72787006806452234442012-05-19T11:06:28.215-04:002012-05-19T11:06:28.215-04:00Peanut Butter Panda Puffs + dark choco almond milk...Peanut Butter Panda Puffs + dark choco almond milk = HEAVEN.

It isn't just about calories it is about how it interacts with your systems and cells - I really wish I could just eat healthy but I am sure I am addicted to somethings now that I would have to work harder than ever to get away from them. I really think we need JennyJerkface (as in Jenny Craig) part of this blog - we can all post our ideas for healthy options over our current one, we can share exercise tips, etc.Dangrdafnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940599664505953044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-57470735060781619442012-05-18T10:23:29.238-04:002012-05-18T10:23:29.238-04:00Although I eat some bad things, I don't use or...Although I eat some bad things, I don't use or allow my kids to use artificial sweeteners.

When I was getting my tests done for gluten allegies, they asked if I use artificial sweetners. I told them "hell no!" (in nicer words) and they said that I NEVER should.
