*Trying-again*
Plodding on til its gone
Hi all, Ive been reading a little bit about artificial sweeteners and would be interested in other peoples experiences of them.
I use splenda in tea which makes it taste disgusting but makes it syn free! WW yogurts and other brands of yogs which have artificial sweeteners in them, infact Ive got to the stage where thats the only thing i can taste in the foods that have them.
Diet coke, juices etc really taste horrible because of the aspartame etc.
Anyway Ive now decided to add a bit of sugar to tea etc, ditch the artificial tasting yogs, sugar free jelly, diet juices, cokes and splenda as i dont think its doing me any good. (not sure how just have a hunch) Im thinking of just having 2 cans a week of red full fat coke which I enjoy (not sure how many syns they are yet)
My feeling is at the end of the day artificial sweeteners maybe a syn/cal free alternative to sugar which is natural but at the end of the day it is a chemical that not only in my opinion makes things taste horrible and artificial (which it is) but unsure of the health issues it may cause.
I keep buying ww yogs etc and end up throwing them away as my brain says buy them they are low in syns etc but I find it a chore eating them and substituting them for something sweet doesnt work for me.
Perhaps something small and sweet like a meringue in nat yog for example will satisfy the sweet tooth.
Id be interested in anyone elses views/comments on artificial sweeteners. Have you had any side effects?
Tried supplementing artificial sweetener for a little real sugar? Has it affected weightloss?
I dont want to jeapodise my weightloss (which is incredibly slow as have pcos) but at the same time not sure of the affects artificial sweetener mainly aspartame is having on me. Surely eating a chemical everyday cant be doing much good?
Opinions/ experiences/ info on this subject would be appreciated.
Thank u
