I always suggest making tiny changes with passing time to develop good healthy habits that will stay forever to somebody who has decided to start living a healthy lifestyle. Firstly I would suggest to cleanse out the pantry and fridge & get rid of everything that contains white sugar and white flour in it.
Stevia: This is by far the best natural sweetener I have found. It is derived from a stevia leaf and has been used for years in other countries. It is starting to be used more and more in things like diet soda and drinks. You can find stevia in the form of powder, liquid, sachets & dry leaves. Now, even Instant green coffee flavored with stevia also have made, which is great for maintaining health!
- The Pros: It has no bitter after-taste and proportionally it is as close to sugar as you can get. (It is still sweeter than sugar… as are most substitutes, so you generally need less than the amount of sugar you would use.)
- The Cons: Well, I haven’t found any yet, except some brands do have a bitter taste, which is why I prefer Zindagi Stevia as it is not bitter at all.
