Well, yeah, I have. I have also used stevia or xylitol when I want sweet, but I have found that without sugar (refined, honey, dates, fruit, etc.) in my diet I don't really have a desire for sweet foods. I love eating a purely savoury raw vegan diet.

I eat 100% raw, no cooked foods, no binging. No fruit or grains. Works for me.

Your liver will make enough sugar (glucose) for your body through a process called glyconeogenesis. ALL carbohydrates are converted to glucose and by that means our bodies "run on sugar". There are carbohydrates in nuts, seeds, sprouts and vegetables, all of which I eat in moderate to heavy quantities. Relax, I'm fine.

I consume no fruits, and no grains as a result of some current health problems. I have a diet with lots of variety that I am satisfied with. I use pumpkin and sunflower seed pates, cheezes and dips; salads for most meals; stuffed bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery; collard and lettuce wraps; chia smoothies for breakfast; raw soups. Flax crackers are good spread with pates etc. My favorite snack is celery stuffed with raw almond butter. Feel free to contact me for any ideas and I'll be glad to share with you what I have. Good luck.
