>>So....does he get to eat carbs eventually?

He will eventually get to add back in some grain products, I think (Ecurb can correct me if I'm wrong)...but they'll likely be few and far between and when he does, it'll be the best instead of just a bunch of trash, you know? He'll know just how many carbs he can have to keep from gaining his lost weight back...but that comes later.

He's in the phase called "Ongoing Weight Loss" now, he's taking in 25 carbs a day total (a pancake has 20). This includes nuts and seeds, which he is enjoying. My mom bought him some almond meal...I'm set if we catch Osama...I can make an almond meal crust for my pumpkin pie!

I know he couldn't have done it on aspartame or saccharine. Nasty stuff. But Splenda's not bad...I bought the big bag that measures like sugar and the little packets that measure out to a 8th of a teaspoon, but sweetens like 2 teaspoons of sugar. I use the measurable kind like regular sugar (in cooking) and he uses either the packets or an all natural extract called Stevia to sweeten his drinks. Powdered Splenda does have some carbs, stevia is completely carbless

Liquid Splenda is also completely carbless, but not approved in the U.S yet. You can get it from Canada.

I've done my homework, can you tell? LOL
