It's going to be hard for RFK to ban sucralose if Trump is installing a Diet Coke button in his office

Besides monk fruit what else out there is not chemical soup? Coconut sugar? Organic sugar cane? We are embracing the sugarless life and the children are cheating figure it is better to hide decent sweets then them getting it from the black ( dad) market. By children I mostly mean my husband
Honey and maple syrup are awesome.
If "we" doesn't include your husband or your kids, you might want to rethink your "we are embracing the sugarless life..." description.
It's still a good thing to do, but maybe work on the buy-in more than the ingredients.
For one of them it is a literal necessity. My husband is on board until the craving hits and my youngest just needs moderation. Sugar addiction has been a major problem for us. We are really active and with the exception of my son really healthy so we never needed to address it. My husband has recently began feeling the effects of inflammation. My son is fighting cancer. The spirit is will the body is weak situation. Ironically they are the ones who are most hardcore but also the ones who fall off the wagon in glorious fashion. Just trying to get them through the cravings
Apologies if I sounded snarky. Sugar addiction is a difficult problem. If they're on board to any degree that's already a lot of progress. I'll pray for your family.
A plan will help, if you don't have a thorough plan already. There's a danger of subbing carbs (starches like chips or cereal or mashed potatos, breads or even alcohol) for sugar. Carbs are stealth sugars, causing the same long-term issues, but seen as harmless by many.
I recommend the carnivore diet, coupled with a high intake of sea salt. (The reasoning behind it is here: https://darkovelcek.wordpress.com/introduction/ and it's worth the time to understand any plan before setting out. At least for me it makes compliance much easier. He has a lot to say about inflammation and cancer as well.) After the initial change period, it's invigorating. I can feel my health improving almost daily, very easy to feel over the first few months.
It's a big shift, but worth it, if you can get the buy-in. Might be easier to start just by going low carb. I did that for a few years (and it helped- lost weight gradually and painlessly, improved circulation and energy), just a big reduction of dietary starches, before I learned about carnivore and decided to do it. Your son can recover.
Ty for the advice. Your are correct that ultimately THEY have to make the good choices. It is a battle but the most important thing is to get back up when we slip and try again. Already seeing differences myself in overall health
It looks like Allulose is getting some atta boys. YMMV
I use Swerve, its. 1-1 ratio and comes in regular, powder and brown forms. Bake and caramelizes same as real sugar. All natural, Gmo free. Draw back is possible gut irritation if you have IBS. Moderation is key to everthing.
For cravings, you can always go to dried apricots, raisins, etc. As long as they're not sugar-infused.
