| 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 water is all natural and has a very fresh, cool spearmint taste! I had seen reviews of spearmint water in the expensive Hint brand, so I was ecstatic to see this in the Anchor Farms (Target brand). Delicious, affordable and all natural - which means no salt or artificial sweeteners that come with many 0 calorie drinks! |

| 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. |
