AF Biggest Loser/Fitness Challenge-May 3 to Whenever We're Not Fat Anymore

I use sugar substitutes to help stave that off. It's isn't super effective, but it isn't ineffective, either.

I can't get away with much of that. Sugar alcohol (nutrasweet) causes the same insulin spike for me as sugar. I have the test strips to prove it (not really, I toss them after use). But the insuline spike is real and does show on the test strips. I can have a diet coke if it's at least two two hours from any snack or meal. But if I have one near a meal, I gain weght. So I save them for mid afternoon treats on hot days.
