I'm too lazy right now to read all of the pages but wanted to mention this:

Does this mean you have to give up sweet? No, Sucralose (I.e. Splenda) Is fine, Zero calorie sweetner. I'm going to start a chain of these dares in hope to help make some people healthier. Fruit also contains NATURAL sugar which is sweet.

Some studies have shown that these artificial sweetners can cause people to gain, not lose, weight. For those with chronic pain, artificial sweetners can make it worse. Artificial sweeteners cause adverse action in the brain...some of them cause neurotransmitters to abnomally fire, which can cause a false sense of hunger.
My suggestion is for you to either stay away from sweeteners altogether or switch to one like Stevia. All natural, not man-made crap.
* I'm a naturalist (overweight but overall healthy) AND I have fibromyalgia (a chronic pain condition). So, yeah, I have done my research enough to be able to talk about this.
