    I load everything i eat up with splenda... IMO i dont think that it will effect your diet because theres really nothing to the stuff.

    Each packet has an actual carb count of 0.9 grams, so each packet is almost 1 gram of carbs.

    I'd consider that when loading up on it. In sensitive fat loss/show preparations, using a lot of it will mess things up. For the recreational fat loss approach, probably won't hurt too much.

    Splenda gets it's carbs from the Dextrose and Maltodextrin that they use as a filler. You can get Splenda pellets in Europe that use half the filler and have half the carbs. Or if you want to go the absolute ZERO carb route get the liquid Splenda (Sucralose). It's the Sucralose that makes it sweet and with out the fillers there are absolutely no carbs.
