After the first 4-7 days, the cravings will get much better so hang in there! Check out simplysugarandglutenfree.com. There are some great recipes on there. Many do use honey, agave, etc. but there are some that use only fruit and stevia. I just ordered a bag of xylitol and plan to go sugar free again as soon as it arrives. Stevia works well for many things but I found it somewhat difficult to bake with since the substitution was not 1:1. If I wanted to adapt a recipe using sugar I had to experiment so it wouldn't be too sweet and add additional ingredients to make up for the bulk sugar provided. Not terrbily difficult but I'm a working mom that doesn't have time to experiment too much. Supposedly, xylitol is a 1:1 substitute so adapting recipes is much easier. I think that with both of those items available, I will be able to stay sugar free for the long haul. Looking forward to reading any tips you find!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443773264696537085noreply@blogger.com
