A little tidbit I pulled from an article:

There are also reports that artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame (also known as NutraSweet™) or acesulfame-K will stimulate your appetite and leave you craving carbohydrates. Because they're widely used in many soft drinks, such as Coca-Cola® or Sprite®, many people are worried that artificially-sweetened soft drinks will lead to weight gain.

My protien has the acesulfame-k, any suggestions on what to change to?

To change it, or to create it, simply train it!

Of course they give you sugar cravings!!! It's also in your mind; you taste something sweet then of course you'll be longing to get more!!!

My protein got some artificial sweeteners too Carivan. I wouldn't worry too much about it though. The sugar cravings will be stronger after "false" candies, light pops etc
