100% Rationalisation:
A sweetner is like a painkiller. If you have a sweet tooth or a persistant craving to which you give into so pack on the pounds then using a sweetner does not remove the problem of the cravnig it only reduces its consequences. I was on the V-Diet using a lot of sweetner, since my whey was bulk, when I came off the diet I carried on using sweetner avidly, since my taste buds had become accustomed to oversweetened foods. I got myself stuck spending money on sweetner, expensive, every week because I felt I needed it.
I whened myself off it by buying sweet spices like ginger and chilli which are really edgy and then used cinnamon and cloves which are gentle, also added in tumeric. Spices are cheaper than splenda et al and also have semi-proven benefits. So the next time you run out of splenda buy some ginger and chilli!
