PrintA food label that says “sugar-free” does not mean it is also carbohydrate-free and calorie-free. Always check the nutrition facts label to find out the total carbohydrates and calories that should be figured into your meal plan.
A few popular sugar substitutes include:
- Aspartame. Also called NutraSweet or Equal (Merisant).
- Sucralose. Sold under the tradename Splenda, this sweetener has no carbohydrates and no calories.
- Sugar alcohols. Also called polyols, these aren’t completely absorbed during digestion and therefore may cause less of a rise in blood glucose levels. They can also have a laxative effect for many people, so should be taken in small doses.

Topic: "clean" eating recipes
I've started eating "clean" foods 90% of the time and I'm looking for recipe ideas. If you have any suggestions for homemade sauces or meals I'd appreciate them. I'm open to anything except fish.
