That makes sense. And while I find Splenda pretty decent, aftertaste wise, sugar free jello's sweetener definitely stands out.
When I'd been on low carb for a few weeks, the sugar cravings really subsided. I think there's some sort of blood sugar level thing that settles down after you've been off sugar for a while. [obligatory not-a-doctor statement here] So while fake sugars aren't the same, they can serve as methadone until your body's metabolism stops sending your brain cravings. Just a thought. So whether or not you want to go the sugar-free jello route, it really will feel better at some point. (Barring other physical issues.) [second obligatory not-a-doctor statement here]
