Sarah: I do that sometimes with juice and water as well.

Good to know about the Purvia/Truvia I have had a couple of those drinks and was fine with the taste. I just assumed that Purvia and Truvia were just straight Stevia. Guess I’ll just stick to plain old water!

Thanks for that review. I had heard about the new sobe and wanted to try it but I am not so sure now. I like buying fizzy water and adding lemon, lime or both and a little stevia for a homemade sprite

those almonds DO look amazing…never had em.

and, alas, I know that as much as I adore my sparkling water w/splenda it is terrible for me as far as sparking cravings for SUGAR (not to mention the chemicals and the fact it doesnt slake my thirst).

YAY for half marathon training! new shoes definitely are appropriate. i am excited to see what you get!

i will play devils advocate about your comment on sticking to water or stevia — how about just a small splash of natural juice like pomegranate, a lemon wedge, OJ, etc? while drinking tons of juice straight adds a lot of calories, 1-2 oz mixed with water or sparkling water (my favorite) definitely doesn’t, and it tastes great after a run.

sometimes i really wonder what fake sugars do to the body’s ability to regular blood sugar (ie, effects on hunger levels and energy).

Wow, those almonds look amazing. They remind me of the candied nuts cart that was right outside the T stop that I took everyday in Boston. I usually bought the nuts as a T ride home snack. Mmmmmmm!

There was a really interesting article on artificial sweeteners and stevia blends in the New York Times a while back: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/15/dining/15sweet.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=stevia&st=cse

I love to add a slice of orange to my water. It is so refreshing to me!

I definitely think Stevia straight up has an aftertaste, so if you are sensitive to that, it might not be enjoyable for you.

Shoot, I feel a bit uneducated because I did not know that about how Truvia was made. I hate that I fell prey to their marketing whims…. guess plain Stevia is better but nothing is best?
