Hey Isabel. I’ve been hearing more and more about the benefits of cutting out sugar in your diet, but I can’t help but be weak when it comes to sweets. Are sugar substitutes like Stevia safe to use?

Hi! I love this question and it's such a common one! Less sugar is certainly better overall however many reach for low calorie and artificial sugars which actually may be worse. Stevia is naturally derived (vs others like sucralose), but still is MUCH sweeter than regular sugar so I find that it can make people want more sugar and be accustomed to much sweeter flavors - which isn't great either. I'm a fan of a little of the real stuff! Honey and maple syrup are my favorites because they pack some nutritional punch like anti bacterial and immune boosting properties!

Great to know! What are your thoughts on low glycemic index options such as Agave syrup or Xylitol?

Woah I never knew that about Stevia. This is super helpful. I love maple syrup actually and never thought to use it as a substitute. Thanks!

Great question! I like honey better than agave and xylitol is sweeter than sugar and also may upset some people's stomach!

Received a verbal job offer on Tues. $5k short of what I had said was my desired range but still up from my current salary. We set up a call for Thurs to discuss further. On Wed they sent me all benefits info. Thursday on the call I asked if we could either increase moving stipend or get closer to my desired salary. They said no, and I asked them to send over written offer and I would let them know by Fri. They then email they are no longer offering me the position and repost it the next day:
