Stevia For Weight Loss?

Some of you may have read that the FDA has approved Stevia to be used as a food additive and it is no longer labeled as a supplement. This means that food manufacturers can use it in their foods and drinks for us to consume.

Food manufacturers must have known this would be approved for a while. Coca-cola and Pepsi had Stevia-based soft drinks on store shelves only 3 days after the FDA issued approval.

This means they have been preparing for this for a while. What does this mean to you? Is this the natural sweetener you have been waiting for that will help you lose weight fast?

The answer is no. This is not to say that Stevia, a natural sweetener, won’t help you control your caloric intake or allow you to choose a low calorie, naturally sweetened food instead of your usual fully sugared products.

What this means is, this is not a miracle product. It is just another tool you have at your disposal to succeed at dropping those extra pounds.

So basically, Stevia may end up being a great addition to your toolbox to shed fat fast, but it is just one tool. Don’t believe that it will solve all your problems. Build the rest of your toolbox and you will find that quick weight loss really is possible.

Take a look at the Carb Rotation Diet to add another tool to that toolbox.

Your writer should do his/her homework. FDA has NOT approved Stevia as a food additive. Only Wisdom Natural Brands (SweetLeaf, Cargill (Truvia), Whole Earth Sweetener Co. (PureVia), and Blue California have Stevia that is GRAS approved as a food additive. Stevia, in general, has not received such approval.
