Lee, I just replace the sugar with Splenda but use a little less Splenda
than sugar.
I have also made brown-sugar "Pavlovas" with the brown sugar replacement
which is, of course, half and half. Even with the berries and a dollop
of fat-free vanilla yogurt, it only came to 1 point per serving. I used
"recipe builder" on the website to work out the points. (I do the
online. Can't STAND the meetings.) If I can figure out where I stowed
the recipe, I will post it.
Personally, I have no problems with the taste of Splenda. Your tongue
can become accustomed to just about anything within a couple of weeks.
I was cutting back on salt already then spent a week in the hospital on
liquid, no-salt diet. Then, of course, I was eating "soft" and sticking
to the recommendations to limit salt. After a little over two weeks, I
opened a can of tomatoes to make some soup and, tasting it, thought it
too salty to even EAT! Watered down with my low-sodium chicken broth
and veggies, it was fine.
That is, of course, the down-side of adjusting to less salt. You start
sending a lot of stuff back at restaurants etc. I cannot stand most
salty snacks at this point. Another reason I want to get a handle on
this potato chips thing.
