As with all our FTS products please let the world know how you Like FAT TO SKINNY zero with your product review here :)

ZERO! I tried the first drop on my tongue and it was delightful! It tasted like regular sugar, no aftertaste. I used a couple drops in a glass of almond milk and it was perfect! I used a few drops in some cream on strawberries and was completely satisfied! Wonderful stuff! ZERO will be my #1 sweetener! Thank you Doug and Umpa!
I used a couple drops in a cup of tea and it worked just like in the cold stuff.
-
I am so excited about FTS Zero! Right after I opened the package, I had a big glass of iced tea with 2 drops....so good! This morning, I used it to sweeten a chocolate one minute muffin, used 1 drop to sweeten my cream cheese spread, and 3 drops in a BIG cup of Starbucks.....each way I tried it was AWESOME! This will BE my new sweetener! Thanks Doug & Umpa for a GREAT product!! ;D
-
YEAH! I am so glad you guys like it!!!!!! ;D a little goes a long way! ;)
-
I just got my 2 bottles yesterday!
Put ONE drop on my tongue and WOW!... This stuff is GREAT!!! ;D ;D ;D
Potent, lasting sweetness without a funny aftertaste.
And to able to enjoy it without fear of causing a stall out or potty issues makes this stuff fantastic!
When I run out of xylitol, this stuff will be my exclusive sweetener! 8)
THANKS DOUG!!! :) :) :)
-
Just got my 2 bottles yesterday and passed 1 on to a friend. I used a couple of drops in my One Minute Chocolate Muffin (double batch) this morning and it was perfect! Planning to try a cheesecake tonight! No after taste, no tummy issue. ;D
-
FTS ZERO is " da bomb"! I received mine yesterday and used one drop in my coffee with a bit of heavy cream and you would think I had used a heaping tablespoon of xylitol. Umpa is not kidding when she says a little goes a long way. Start out with a drop and taste after each additional drop unless you are following a recipe and do the conversion from xylitol to Zero. For those of you that have not yet ordered this, Whatcha waiting for? LOL!! Thanks Doug & Sherri for this great product!
-
:D :D I AM SO HAPPY YOU LOVE IT!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
FTS ZERO is the best I love it.
-
Stir a drop of FTS zero into some whipped cream cheese....instant ICING!!! ;) SO good.
-
I just ordered mine and so excited to try it. My main issue with sweeteners is aftertaste and it never sweetens the same way. I am also from the south and love my sweet tea so that will be my test. I'll post once I've tried it. If it came from Umpa is has to be good!
Hugs all!
-
You are sweet Izzet. ;) No aftertaste.I am finally enjoying my sweet tea again with out tummy troubles.It tastes like suga :)
-
Hi izzet! :)
Haven't heard from you in a while.
I hope all is well with you!

-
YEAH! Thanks Alex! Me too! If you need me you know how to get ahold of me ;) Don't be a stranger :)
-
I LOVE the sweetener! I have had it in my coffee & iced tea. I am going to have hubbie try it tonight in his tea ~ he is a die hard sweet n low lover. I think he'll like this! I can't wait to try it in my cheesecake plus I love the idea above about putting a few drops into whipped cream cheese for frosting! Ya'll are sooooo smart! :)
-
I've been using ZERO for everything sweet since it came in the mail. It's the BEST!!! It works in everything and has no weird aftertaste. It's the only sweetener that I've tried that actually tastes like sugar.
-
Opened the package and put one drop on my finger to taste. Wow it's incredible and no aftertaste! The sweetness lasted a while. I can't wait to try it in my baking tomorrow.
-
Use Dougs conversion table izzet ;)
-
So Happy ~ It was a hit with my hubbie too! Finally found something he is happy with besides the sweet n low ~ SCORE!!
-
Zero is a lot healthier than sweet and low Kim! SCORE!! ;D

The FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener Survey Results are in!
I sent a survey to everyone who bought a bottle of FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener asking a few simple questions, here are the questions and the results of the survey
Q-1- Did you find that Zero has satisfied your sweet tooth without any after taste or after affects?
Answers- YES- 100% of responses
Q-2- Have you found the "drop rates" on the bottle to be accurate?
Answer- YES- 100% of responses
Q-3- Have you cooked with Zero yet? If so how were your results?
For those who cooked with Zero- Answer- YES- 99% of responses
Q-4- Do you anticipate buying Zero again? If not please tell me why not.
YES- 100% of responses
Q-5- Would you recommend Zero to a friend or family member?
YES- 100% of responses
Q-6- Finally, in your own words what would you tell someone who asks you about Zero?
Here's a few comments from those surveyed;
Answer- Affordable, no fear of tummy issues and tasty!
Answer- My Zero arrived yesterday...it has been adult and kid tested... Two HUGE thumbs up! :) Thank you!
Answer- The taste is great. No after taste. Convenient bottle to carry in purse. All you have to do is try it and you won't go back to packaged artificial sweeteners.
Answer- I'd like to say that it can be used by those of us who can't loose weight using other sugar substitutes; I can't give a conclusive answer to that yet. Otherwise, I would say that it is more convienient, better tasting, and affordable than other sugar substitutes, also there doesn't seem to be any digestive issues like there are when using Xylital, sorbital or malitol.
Answer- The best sweetener I've ever used! It can be used liberally without side effects.
Answer- Zero is a wonderful product! It has no aftertaste, and one little bottle goes a LONG way! It is very convenient in that you can carry it in your purse! .....No more need to bother with the little packets of sweetener at restaurants. I love it!!
Answer- My recommendation would be based on the fact that it is not sugar, it does not have the aspartame that Sweet and Low has, and it sweetens more effectively than Splenda.
Answer- It is the best sweetener I've tried so far. My sweet tea tastes like southern tea without all the sugar so that I can't tell the difference. My test was McDonald's unsweetened tea using this product and it tasted the same as the sweetened tea-BINGO. It's portable so you can take it anywhere. It is cheaper overall than other sweeteners because you don't use as much. It dissolves immediately. You won't even miss the sugar or other sweetener because there is no aftertaste. No carbs, no calories, no sugar, no sugar alcohol's that cause tummy troubles and absolutely no guilt!
Answer- Zero has the flavor of regular sugar with no aftertaste, no calories, no hidden carbs, and no stomach issues like the other sweeteners. And a little goes a long way.
-
Those results are impressive, Doug! :)
-
I'm loving my ZERO! I've been using it in baking and it is performing perfectly! I'll be stocking up so I never run out!
-
Because it begins with sugar!
What is FAT TO SKINNY Zero made from?
Zero is made with 100% purified water and Sucralose. Sucralose, is a no-calorie sweetener used as part of a healthy diet to reduce calories and carbohydrates. It is made through a patented process that starts with sugar and converts it to a no-calorie, non-carbohydrate sweetener. The result is a very stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without its calories. After you eat FAT TO SKINNY Zero ® Brand Sweetener, it passes through the body without being broken down for energy, so the body does not recognize it as a carbohydrate. Sucralose has no known side effects; it has been the subject of extensive safety testing, with more than 20 years of research and over 110 scientific studies. Its safety is well documented and the Food and Drug Administration, along with regulatory, health, and food safety authorities from around the world, have concluded that it is safe. It has been used throughout the world by millions of people since 1991, and there are no warning labels on the products to exclude anyone from enjoying it. Sucralose is approved for use in over 80 countries and is currently used in more than 4000 products worldwide.

It's dynamite stuff!... I wouldn't be without it! :) :) :)
-
Did you know that powdered Splenda contains almost 1 carb per pack! Are you sabotaging you're weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) by using it? The carbs come from the fillers in the pack that deliver the sweetener, Dextrose and Maltodextrin. Splenda's doesn't reveal the carb count on the little yellow packs because the FDA doesn't require them to for such a small serving BUT they add up. FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener uses the same sweetening agent as Splenda but we have removed 100% of the carbs by using purified water to deliver sweetness. Eliminate those hidden carbs, switch to Zero and scrap the yellow packs. :)
-
I just tried Zero in DH's Chocolate Beanit Butter Cookies - turned out great with no bitterness!! My pork chop/sauerkraut recipe called for apple juice (not found in this FTS household!! ;) ;) ) so I mixed apple cider vinegar and Zero - OMG, the kraut was delish!!
Thanks Doug and Umpa!! I'm a happy, happy girl!! :D :D
-
Doug, as it is difficult to see how much there is left in the bottle,perhaps the next time you have labels produced you could have them leave a "window"? I actually took my label off but I thought maybe others would like a window to see what's left in the bottle, plus leaving the label on is great advertisement!
-
Romarc what a great idea for applejuice replacement! :o
JoAnne you are the bomb and the first one to pick up on that ;) Thanks!
-
It think it would just be a matter of making the label a little narrower... Just enough so that it doesn't completely wrap around the bottle.
-
We'll work it out :)
-
love it!!!
-
I just received mine this last week?? Thanks Doug and Umpa!! ;) This is really great stuff. I don't see myself using much else in sweetener 8)
-
I am so glad you like it! :)
-
;D
-
... I don't see myself using much else in sweetener 8)
I don't either, Shawn!... Zero is great! :) :) :) :)
-
I can't wait to try this sweetener. I'm almost done with my last bottle of ez-sweetz. Probably be placing an order for Zero soon. How big is the bottle, .5 oz or 1 oz?
-
Zero comes in a 1 ounce dropper bottle, I love it!
-
THE 1 OUNCE IS EQUAL TO 6 POUNDS SUGAR OR XYLITOL WITH NO TUMMY ISSUES ;)
-
Thanks Umpa.
-
I pressed submit too quickly. Thanks to Doug also!
-
You are welcome ;)
-
Love Love Love the zero! I have been using my zero in the recipes and usually use less than called for. its a miracle ;D next order will be more than 1 bottle because I don't want to run out of the ZERO! is there a shelf life on zero?
-
Glad you love the sweetener Deb :) There are no preservatives in ZERO so simply refrigerate for longest life span. ;)
-
Oh wow I never thought to put it in the fridge ??? That is a good question deblynbr. Is there a life span on it Doug?
-
We have about 6 bottles opened and scattered around with the oldest about 3 months and haven't had any issues, but in 100 degree plus heat around the country it's always wise to fridge products with no preservatives just as a precaution. 8)
-
Thanks Doug, I will keep that in mind with my next order!
-
Hey guys, I am about halfway through my FTS Zero and I am starting to get a bitter aftertaste. I have never refrigerated it,is it possible that it has spoiled? Has anyone else noticed this? Or maybe it's just me and my taste buds ;D
-
Email sent,you're the best! Thanks!
-
Hi Joanne, you're welcome...do an experiment for me before you send it back. Put 1 drop in 1/4 cup of water, stir, taste and report back please. 8)
-
It tasted like sweet water,but in my coffee and almond joy candy I detected bitterness.
-
I thought you'd discover nothing but sweet. there's nothing in Zero that can cause bitterness. I think as we go along on our FTS journey our tastes become more refined. The bitter you taste can be coming from the chocolate or even the coffee maker. I think the water test is the best way to eliminate the culprit :) Thanks for the the taste test 8)
-
So far I've tried Zero in coffee, koolaid and 1 baked dessert. It doesn't seem very sweet to me. It was fine in my coffee because I don't like it very sweet. But in the others, not so. Now, I'm betting this is because I eat so many supersweet things that my taste buds may be desensitized to the taste of sweet. It won't go to waste though. Probably I should go without anything sweet for a while and then test it out again.
-
Find your own level of sweetness by running the same test, Put 1 drop in 1/4 cup of water, stir, taste. Then drop in another drop, stir and taste. You get the idea 8)
-
I just got my zero in the mail and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just ordered another one to keep at work : )
-
Yeah! ;D
-
WOW! Fantastic cup of coffee and tea! I recieved my zero in the mail yesterday and am quite delighted with it. Definately recomend that your nearest health food store carry it as the product is excellent.
-
Yeah! I am so glad you like it!! ;D
-
I wish I had bought it alot sooner...it is better than SweetnLow.
-
Hey all, I am a newbie to FTS, so Im wondering how to replace Splenda/Stevia with the sweetener. For example, I just read Doug's message about Splenda's hidden carbs-YIKES! The cheesecake recipe that I have calls for 3 packages of cream cheese, 3 eggs, vanilla, and a CUP OF SPLENDA! Could I use the zero sweetener instead of the Splenda??
Thanks for your help!
Lindsey
-
Welcome to the FTS family, Lindsey!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
Yes you can use FTS Zero as a Splenda replacement!
Here's a link to a conversion chart for zero to xylitol.
It's the same for sugar or Splenda (48 Drops Zero = 1 Cup Sugar or Splenda).

Lindsey

It just gets better from here! Congrats on completing week 1. If you had detox issues they are almost over! Kee p up the good work.
-
Welcome to the party Iraevan, visit and post often 8)
-
I had a question Doug about the FTS Sweetener...I've read it doesn't cause any digestive issues...I react severely poorly to sucralose, and I understand that is in the FTS Zero Sweetener...so how does it work? Is there something differently done to the sucralose that helps it not react the same? Also, where can I order it to try it...I can't seem to find it at any stores. Thanks in advance!
-
Hi Taby, are you sure it's Sucralose you are having a problem with and not the other ingredients commonly found mixed with Sucralose? Most Sucralose is delivered to you mixed with Dextrose and Maltodextrin both of which can cause people problems. I deliver it to you with purified water....one tin drop from the bottle is the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of sugar sweetness.
If you click on the sidebar tower ad to the right it will take you to my online store------------------------------------>
or you can put www.shop.fattoskinny.com (http://www.shop.fattoskinny.com) in your browser
or you can buy it on Amazon 8)
-
Yes, sucralose makes me throw up usually, but almost everything does...I have gastritis all the time, even with nexium, and a reoccurring ulcer condition, a hiatal hernia and some other issues...but I'll probably try it. Will post a review!
-
I LOVE FTS zero sweetener! I used it for my coffee and whipped cream, and it has a smooth clean sweetness to it. I plan to bake with it soon. Thanks Doug and Umpa for making such a wonderful product, you rock. ;) :D ;D
-
You are welcome ;)
-
Love it! Will be ordering more soon!
-
Welcome Zappy! I am Umpa ,Dougs wife if I can help you please ask ;)
-
Welcome to the FTS family, zappy!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
FTS Zero is the best sweetener available at any price!
I love it, too! ;D ;D ;D
Looking forward to hearing about your journey to a healthier you!
Tony
-
Hi Zappy, welcome to the party!
-
Woohoo - lucky me - received Zero Sweetener today.
Tried it in a coconut cream/cocoa/whey protein powder/crushed ice chocolate shake. Tastes pretty good. Looking forward to trying it out in a variety of things. ;)
-
Hi, juvee! :)
In my experience, some recipes could use a bit more Zero, and others, a bit less.
Since no two people have the same exact sense of sweetness, vary amount by taste.
Tony
-
My latest use for zero - the no added sugar tomato sauce (ketchup) which had too much 'tang' for my tastebuds. A few drops zero into the bottle and shake. Tastes just like the normal one. ;D
-
Hi,
Just popping in to say I really like the Zero sweetner in my hot cocoa with HWC.
I actually use it in combination with Xylitol (1 tsp of xylitol and a drop or two of Zero to two tsps of cocoa, hot water and about 1.5 tbs HWC).
I am still experimenting with baked goods (I tend to limit these as I find it hard not to eat the whole batch).
-
Try it without the xylitol ;)
-
Hi Umpa,
Will taste test ZeroSweet by itself in hot cocoa and let you know my thoughts.
-
please do ;)
-
Gosh - where would I start. One in the purse and one at home. I had family try it in their coffee and even "they" couldn't tell a difference! Makes fabulous homemade whipped cream and even whip in some cocoa powder for a chocolately treat - love with the Carb Not Beanit Butter! I also used in butter to make a sweet butter for breakfast with a microwave
bread recipe. In a pinch I've used in green beans with bacon pieces or ham. I also added to LaCroix sparkling flavored water :). I'll stop for now :)
-
So I guess you like it? :D
-
Ummmm ... The jury is still out :). Kidding!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!
-
:D :D :D
-
Best sweetener ever. I just owed my 3rd bottle of it!

I wholeheartedly agree, Alicia!
FTS Zero is so good, you think your eating sugar, but of course you're not.
Incredibly good!!! :) :) :)
Tony
-
Thanks, gang... It really is a wonderful product 8)
-
No - thank you!
-
Hi Sunshine, trying to understand your post above???
-
Thank you for this great product! You're the best - give yourself a pat on the back!
-
Over the 4th I found a 0 calorie 0 carb Margarita mix. It tastes like a light lemonade with a hint of lime. So I doctored it up with the tiniest pinch of salt and a few drops of Zerio with some sparkling water and I didn't feel like I missed out on any fun!
-
Great idea ;)
-
Just ordered 2 ;) ;) Thanks Doug and Umpa for a great product!! Been needing to do some baking LOL I want cookies!!!
-
For you Toosweet! :)
c is for cookie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovQyphS8kA#)
-
Miss you TooSweet! :)
-
So glad I brought my Zero with me - it's come in very helpful at all sorts of meals!
-
I keep it in my purse,but then people ask me about it and I end up giving it away :D I need a bigger purse!
-
Miss you guys too Umpa! :-* :-* Doug I have always loved the cookie monster the best!! Haha no surprise there ;)
-
How are the grandkids? :)
-
Used the sweetener tonight - making fake Mounds Bar "fat bombs". Used unsweetened coconut in food processor with melted butter and coconut oil, Zero, vanilla and almond extract. Delicious just like that but it's in fridge so I can roll into balls and dip in unsweetened chocolate sweetened with Zero :)
-
Sounds yummy ;)
-
How are the grandkids?
Hi Umpa :) As you can see they are growing like weeds!! Haha As I'm sure yours are as well ;)
-
They are ssssooo cute!!! :)
-
;D ;D And so spoiled by Grams Haha
-
Great looking little 'uns there, Shawn! :)
Tony
-
Great looking little 'uns there, Shawn! :)
Thank you my friend ;D ;D
-
I've really been enjoying Zero with a little lime or lemon juice as a salad dressing. I made a jicama and cucumber salad that way with fresh basil and dill. Even the hubby ate it but he added more Zero :)
-
What a great idea!!! ;D
