    For some reason I am craving ketchup. I found this recipe and am wondering about substituting stevia or whey-low since I do not use splenda. I could also use onion powder instead of onions. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

    Actually that sounds yummy. I wouldn't worry about using the powder because according to the directions your going to liquify them anyhow. Just make sure you get sugar free tomato paste.

    Thanks for the recipe, i'm going to make this today!

    It sounds good. Is tomato paste allowed on ph2? And would using this count as my entire veggie for that meal?

    An entire vegetable? How much ketchup do you eat in one sitting?....jk...;)

    Seriously though in my research, since tomatoes are allowed, I considered this like using the juice from one lemon. I use probably a tablespoon of it and it came to about 16-18 calories of which I have more than enough room to spare

    You need to make sure that your tomato paste has no added sugar in the ingredients line. There is some natural sugar in the tomato but that is allowable.

    What did you use instead of Splenda and how much? I keep reading negative things about the white stevia and how ethanol is used in its production. Would xylitol be better?

    Thanks, I love ketchup!

    Sweet Leaf Stevia...1/3 pkt....but honestly it probably didn't need it.

    I am assuming the white Stevia you are talking about is like the Walmart brand with maltodextrin added?.....

    and for the record after just weighing, I was down another 1.2 lbs today so I didn't seem to stall last night from my new found condiment...:)

    They mentioned the Sweet Leaf also. Anything that turns a naturally plant-based (green) substance to white is bad (I guess). It was suggested to use the stevia that is still a plant. I am so confused by all of this since we are taught not to eat processed, especially chemically processed, substances to reset the hypothalamus properly.
