Truvia and Stevia in the Raw (and most other brands of stevia you see in the regular grocery store except for Sweetleaf and KAL) contain sugars such as erythritol, dextrose, or maltodexterin. These sugar additives are not VLCD-safe and can cause stalls or gains while following the HCG protocol. Be smart in your buying choices! Read the labels of the products you purchase.
