Re: Fodmaps
I have learnt to cure myself of over sweet foods and such. I do use sweeteners in tea, coffee, and my porridge. But just 1 in each.Whilst on the subject of what and what not is good for one.
I recently have got the taste for yogurt. I have been trying lots of different flavoured ones.
Is yogurt a food or a nosh?

I went the same way many years ago. Wanted to cut sugar in tea/coffee and switched over to Hermacetas. Then got clued up on sweeteners and cut those out completely. This at the infancy of my understanding of the War On People's Health. The thought of drinking tea/coffee without any sweetener was horrid to me at that time. However, I switched to green teas and some fruit teas which you drink without milk or sugar. The fruits teas are often sugar loaded anyway so beware.
After 2 -3 weeks of drinking these I was desperate for the caffeine and tase of my good old crappy cup of tea bag tea. So I made one, without any sugar or sweeteners and what do you know? It tasted just fine. So the moral is, you CAN quite easily wean yourself of sweeteners in tea/coffee and those drinks do taste just fine without them esp Lattes !
So my advice is go the whole hog and get yourself there, maybe temporarily depriving yourself of normal tea for a while as I did. You will lose weight in making that simple change too, but that should be seen as a by-product rather than the objective.

One reason you might have acquired a taste for yoghurt is because it usually contains a ton of sugar. Hence that old addiction you have tried to kick has found stealthy ways to get back into your life. Any time you think you've acquired a taste for something, go check out the levels of sugars and sweeteners.
Take a look at this and open your eyes to how many teaspoonfuls of sugars are in yoghurts !!!
Blimey ! Almost 9 teaspoons of sugar in plain low-fat natural yoghurt, a product most think should be a healthy food.
The problem is HOW you take in your sugars. We need to eat lots of fibre when we eat sugar to ensure that the sugars are metabolised slowly over many hours so the body has time to use the energy in your daily activities. Eat sugar without fibre and the energy is metabolised instantly and since the body has no use for it, its stored away as fat.
A large apple contains 4-5 teaspoonfuls of sugars but it's ok because the rest of the apple has a ton of fibre.
A carton of apple juice on the other hand is just a carton of sugars with bugger all fibre.
I will put up just one more picture to highlight these products.
Just lols at the 1L of apple juice containing some 22 teaspoons of sugar and less than 0.5g of fibre. How can such a harmful product be sold on supermarket shelves?
Because we are in the midst of a food and health war which seeks to maximise profits at the expense of your health. It make £billions from selling you the harmful products under the guise of them being healthy, and it makes £billions later from the drugs, potions, pills and treatments when you become ill.
Hope you manage to kick all sweeteners from your drinks.
Good luck
