I only recently started drinking coffee. Primarily because I gave up Diet Coke (2 months DC free!) and I like a caffeine buzz in the morning. There is no way I could drink black coffee though. I like my coffee sweet and creamy. But, I don’t do Splenda, Nutrasweet or Equal. They mess with my stomach in a bad way. I don’t have a problem with sugar in moderation, but I really don’t want to be dumping it into my coffee every single day. The only thing that doesn’t seem to give me a bellyache, besides real sugar, is stevia. For a while I was experimenting with different brands trying to find one that didn’t have a bitter aftertaste. It took a while, but I found my favorite: NuNaturals!
I’ve been putting a packet in my coffee every morning. I’ve also been using it to sweeten plain Greek yogurt. I even sent a few packets to my mom in the mail so she could try it. And now the generous folks at NuNaturals are offering to give one box of NuStevia Packets, 50 ct. Box, and one bottle of our NuNaturals Vanilla Stevia Liquid, 2 oz. bottle to FOUR In My Tummy readers! Did you read that? Four winners? Your odds of winning are high!
I’m not going to make you like me on facebook or follow me on twitter for an extra entry (though I’d love it if you did), I’m simply going to ask you one question and I’ll randomly pick four winners that gave me an answer:
What’s your favorite song to work out to?

I LOVE the Nunaturals Stevia baking blend!! It is perfect for everything not just baking. I sprinkle it over my cereal or in yogurt…really good!
My favorite workout song…hum…I got in spurts but right now I am defintiely on a Pit Bull kick. I love him!
Ok here it is…make fun if you want to…but my absolute favorite song to work out to is Footloose by Kenny Loggins. Gets me pumping everytime. Yes, I’m a dork, and yes, I’m totally ok with it.
I am currently trying to rid myself of artificial sweetners, and am now on the hunt for a great stevia product. Rarely a diet soda for me but I do drink black coffee every morning with only sweetner. I do a lot of baking so Im glad to hear NuNaturals makes a baking blend, I would love to try it. My all time favorite work out song that makes it on to every play list is deff. Eye of The Tiger!!!
It will deff. put you in fight mode! Love you love your blog thanks so much!!!
I wanna enter….but I actually don’t listen to music when i w/o. I don’t use anything during strength and core work and I watch TV when I’m on the treadmill. I often watch the fourth hour of the today show (oddly on at 1PM here) and then The Talk. The former I wouldn’t watch as it’s own event (the latter I might) but it fits my w/o need of being a distraction but not requiring 100% attention. I couldn’t watch anything too deep since I don’t give it my full attention.
OMG I’m excited!!!!!! My favorite song to work out to is my labored breathing. Yup, you heard me, I don’t work out with music!!!! It messes with my running pace because I’m a marching band girl, so I can’t not run with the beat.
For the most part, any upbeat music works for me. However I do have a go to song for those times when I’m running, and either going up a hill or I’m ready to stop because of the burn in my legs and chest.
The song – maybe a bit old school – Outcast’s Hey Ya.
Kinda silly, but it’s got a great beat for me to run in tempo to to help me power through. And who doesn’t like to “shake it” when they run
Lately my favorite song on my playlist is “down on me”….it’s a hip hop song with 50 cent. I hardly hear it on the radio so I think that it is still new to me is the reason I love it so much.
Thanks for the giveaway girl!
ahhh yay! my fav song at the moment is Get Outta yo Mind by lmfao… i know.. its racy.. but is SO AWESOME!
I tend to up the intensity of my workout when JLo’s “On the Floor” is on the radio/mp3
Hey Lee! You know, I’ve never tried baking with stevia – I’ve only had it in a few drinks. I’ve been really loving Oh Land right now – its perfect music for the gym. Girl artists pump me up!!
My current favorite workout songs =
1. Mashups either by DJ Earworm or Norwegian Recycling
2. Ke$ha anything, because it’s so upbeat.
3. Don’t Trust Me -3oh!3
4. S&M – Rihanna
i am loving ingrid michaelsen
lover her songs!
My favourite song to work out to is “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People…or anything by The Dudes!
I really love nunaturals packets! They are perfect in coffee. And congrats on kicking the DC! I have it now only when we go out to dinner but was an addddicccctttt for years! Favorite song to work out to? Hmm Anything black eye peas or pink!
‘More’ by Usher is my new favorite workout song! Super uplifting
Actually, most anything by Black Eyed Peas, simply because the beat is perfect for keeping up with! This new Stevia product looks great!
Stevia + Greek yogurt= my most favorite snack
Hmmmm, I’m a total Broadway dork but I love Hairspray’s “You Can’t Stop The Beat”. It’s catchy and upbeat and I always find myself doing a little dance to it on the treadmill or elliptical.
Ooh, I want to try it. I couldn’t help but laugh at “Hey Ya” being old school…because wait to you hear mine–”This Little Girl is Mine” by Gary “US” Bonds. Now that’s “old school.” My new fav is “How Do You Like Me Now.” (Notice I consider that “new.”)
Also I think you have a lot to choose from the playlist from your wedding reception. There were some great songs happening there.
Check out “Baby Workout” by Jackie Wilson.
My FAVE workout song is Overload. I first heard it in Body Combat and it just makes me MOVE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acZi9fhvlZ4&feature=related
Old Beatles albums! So upbeat!
“Animal” by Prof, a hip-hop artist from Minnesota. Hype song that gets me moving!
i love this bc its giving me lots of ideas for new playlists! i love listening to Kesha “blow” or metallica “enter sandman” always gets me pumped!
They whole album of Lady Gaga’s “Born this way” is just soooo good to workout to.
And some Lil’ John thrown in there
The Glee version of everything. Proud Mary gets me going because it’s so fast that my running pace will go down a full minute per mile when this song is on.
Anything by PINK. I listen to her greatest hits all the time.
OK … music is my paradise. There’s no way I can pick just ONE of my fave workout songs, so I’ll give you my top 5. Cool?
In no particular order:
1) Dustland Fairytale – The Killers
2) Right Now – Van Halen
3) Only Girl in the World – Rihanna
4) Bad Romance – Lady Gaga
5) Your Song (REMAKE from Moulin Rouge … don’t judge!)
OK I coudn’t stop at 5; here’s just a couple more:
6) Zombie Nation – Kernkraft
7) Go – Moby
Done
I hope I win!!! I would LOVE to get my hands on some NuNatural stuff.
Thanks!

I love to listen to Sufjan Stevens’ album “Illinois.” There are upbeat, cheerful, inspiring, and mellow songs all in one nice, neat package! Encourage you to give it a listen!
Great giveaway!
favorite workout song as of late is “Lighters” by Bruno Mars and Eminem!
The Edge of Glory – Lady Gaga…Not always a GaGa fan but this one picks me up – great beat, uplifting sound. Enjoy!
I LOVE running to Eminem. Almost any song works, but when I’m struggling through a tough run and “Till I Collapse” comes on, I can’t help but push myself!
Excited to try the NuNaturals products. I, too, cannot eat any of the “fake” sugars like splenda and real sugar has been keeping me up at night! I need a natural alternative
Great question! I’d probably go with black eyed peas – let’s get it started. I began the 2006 NYC marathon with that song on my iPod and I just really like it. The hardest part sometimes is getting the workout started
I know I’m too late for the giveaway (booo) but I still wanted to share my favorite songs to run to. Right now, I’m loving “Good Life” by One Republic because it’s such a good reminder. And “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO. The beat is perfect to run to!
Took me time to read all of the feedback, but I actually loved the article. It proved to be very useful to me and I am sure to all the commenters here! It is always good when you cant solely learn, but in addition engaged! Im sure you had pleasure writing this article. Anyway, in my language, there arent a lot good source like this.
