| I'm not sure if it's bad luck or if I have some seriously negative newsletter karma, but AFTER I finish each week's article, I find the perfect food (or beverage in this case) for it. Now that I just finished the article Diet Soda: The Diet Killer, I found this perfect soda substitute. No artificial sweeteners, no sodium and tastes a whole lot like soda! I liked the two flavors I tried - lemon and orange - however this is available in pure, berry, cran-raspberry or lime that I'm totally dying to try. I found these at my local natural foods store for 50 cents a can. An all around awesome "soda" score! |

| I haven't tried these yet - I just found them online. However, I thought it was a worthwhile thing to put on Calorista given that its 0 calories, no carbs, gluten free, and according to reviews online, tastes much better than House Shirataki noodles. Can someone please write in who has tried these? I'm dying for the dish! |

| This zero-calorie FDA approved stevia-based sweetener is all natural and my personal favorite. It does not have the bitter aftertaste that pure, raw Stevia has, and has a tasty, natural sugar-like texture. I like it better than PureVia, as it has a more natural taste to me, however they are very close. Truvia is a product of Coca-Cola while PureVia is a product of Pepsi (we know how that taste test argument goes), both of which are a blend of rebiana (the sweetest part of stevia extracted) and sugar alcohols. To get more info about Stevia, I have written a full article: Stevia: The Latest on This Sweet Lil' Herb that has detailed information about this sweetener. |

| These Sobe LifeWater drinks contain Purevia, the new zero calorie, all natural stevia-based sweetener that has recently been approved. This black and blue berry flavor is my new favorite vitamin enhanced water: delicious, and NO calories, unlike VitaminWater 10 that has 25 calories per bottle. So refreshing! And by the way, this is coming from someone who has never drank vitamin waters before (as I thought they were too high calorie), but now I'm hooked! |
