Condiments sweetners during precontest diet

ad

So I am about 8 wks out and use sweetners for my oatmeal and coffee and use spicy mustard which only has sodium in it for a little flavor. My question is, is there any issue while on precontest diet with this stuff? I planned on cutting it out about 4 wks out or so, just looking for other people's opinions and experiences. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

i use ketchup sweetened with stevia seems to work great, love soya but it makes me bloat out a bit.

I'll be dropping sweeteners when 2 weeks out. Keeping soy sauce and salsa as the flavor for my meals until peak week begins

I have been trying to find out myself whether or not these artificial sweeteners can cause any type of insulin response. Half the studies you read say yes and the other half say no. I have just switched over to Agave syrup for my sweetener now. At least I know what I am getting and it is an all natural low GI sweetener that is 1.5X sweeter than sugar. I little bit goes a long ways. 60cals/TBLS. Screw that artifical sweetener crap. To many unknowns about it.

The agave syrup is the way to go.. low glycemic and it goes a long way, can be used numerous ways as well.. no guessing games either

No doubt on that. One year ago I cut those out of my 'diet' 100% cuz I was so sick - fatigued, major digestive distress. Looked up health issues of ace k and sucralose and boom there I had it, definitive proof that stuff like that was killing me.
