Kom nemlig til en side i Atkinsboka hvor det stod at aspartam er tillatt under induksjonen, og da tok vi sjansen, vi!

Helt greitt å ta sjansen, det er jo snakk om små mengder hvis man ikke spiser det hver dag, men vær forsiktig ! Aspartame er garantert IKKE anbefalt på Atkins, hverken under induksjonen eller senere. Det er dessverre en av feilene i den norske utgaven - den er basert på -99 utgaven av Atkins originalen og har følgelig ikke fått med seg bivirkninger forskningsresultater viste at Aspartame kunne forårsake. Den siste utgaven av DANDR fraråder bruk av Aspartame. Nedenfor finner du litt om søtstoff:

Artificial Sweeteners
You must determine which artificial sweeteners agree with you, but the following are allowed: sucralose (marketed as Splenda™), saccharin, cyclamate and acesulfame-K. Natural sweeteners ending in the suffix "-ose," such as maltose, fructose, etc., should be avoided. However, certain sugar alcohols, such as maltitol, do not affect blood sugar and are acceptable.

Saccharin has been extensively studied, and harmful effects were produced in the lab when fed to rats only in extremely high doses. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed saccharin from its list of carcinogens, basing its decision upon a thorough review of the medical literature and the National Institute of Science’s statement that there is "no clear association between saccharin and human cancer." It can be safely consumed in moderation, meaning no more than three packets a day. Saccharin is marketed as Sweet'n Low™.

We discourage the use of aspartame (marketed as NutraSweet® and Equal®) because of clinical observations that it slows weight loss in certain individuals. The FDA has approved the herb stevia for use only as a supplement, not as a sweetener.

The Atkins preference, however, is sucralose (Splenda™), the only sweetener made from sugar. Sucralose is safe, noncaloric and does not raise blood sugar. It has been used in Canada for years, and the FDA recently approved it after reviewing more than 100 studies conducted over the past 20 years. Note that each packet of sugar substitute contains about 1 gram of carbohydrate, so don’t forget to include the amount in your daily totals.

1. Avoid foods or drinks sweetened with aspartame. Instead, use sucralose or saccharin. Be sure to count each packet of any of these as 1 gram of carbs.

Syns uansett at dere er flinke jeg ! Det er en stor omveltning å snu kostholdet rundt, men det høres ut som om dere takler det kjempefint !!

Lykke til videre !
