		I still love sweets, too; fighting so hard not to eat them! But chocolate gets me every time. I've taken to using agave nectar when I sweeten things, which is a little healthier than using sugar (plus it tastes better).

I haven't tried it there's not so much choice of sweetener here though I prefer brown sugar for taste or honey I love honey.

Ditto  to honey but shaiteeee its expensive! 
I brought manuka honey with umf10 and it was $29 for a tiny tub of it.
My country produces alot of honey but its still pricey!
Too bad all the bees are dying

		Hey beautiful girls! 
Have any of you tried stevia or xylitol? I use both when I'm doing a strict eating plan because neither is metabolized like sugar in the body, both taste sweet, and they are plant derived (stevia is from a leaf and xylitol is from coconut husks). Most Asian grocery stores have xylitol blends, usually cut with raw or brown sugar, and as for stevia, I found the best tasting brand is Truvia 

 Both will also bake/cook just like sugar, the only difference is that xylitol has a higher melting point than cane sugar, so if you are making something like a caramel you will have to make slight adjustments, but otherwise - no problem!
