Hi Tay,

Welcome! Hope we can answer your questions
satisfactorily. 

I would avoid fake sugar products for 3 reasons.

1) they tend to be pretty disgusting 

2) you *know* that in 10 years scientists are going to
discover that they're even worse for you than real
sugar.

3) you might be fooling your taste buds, but you're
also fooling the habit forming portion of your brain.
It's bad psychology, and the whole premise of the
nosdiet is that psychology is the most important part.

So does it officially count as an S? No. But I'd be
surprised if you can eat a lot of it without reverting
to genuine S.

Having a kitchen beckoning you all day is going to be
tough. My advice is give yourself very generous
"firsts" until you can build strong habits (about 3
weeks).

I'm not sure if it's just founder's zeal, but it does
seem natural after a while.

Good luck! And keep the questions coming.

Reinhard
