Posted here so the CD/LL people (and anyone else) can have a look easily!
When I followed a low-carb diet we were told to steer clear of apsartame as it can stall weightloss in some people. It is hard to find medical evidence of this on the internet, and Lighterlife use it in their packs and their water flavourings.
I've got a stone to go and my weight loss is stalling. I know this can happen for many reasons, but you have to admit, its pretty depressing!!!:sigh: I've upped my water, increased low-level exercise etc, but lost only 0.8lb last week, and I'm looking at about 0.5lbs this week. NOT GOOD!!!!:cry:
However, I DO have a LOT of the water flavouring. I have 4 litres of it a day (plus one of plain water) and I like to make it quite strong. I think that it COULD be affecting my weight loss.
So - from today I am going back to 5 litres of plain water only to see if it makes a difference. I really want to lose this by 9th Feb so I can eat (RTM Week 1 foods) on my walking holiday at half term. However, I want to lose at least another half stone before I start eating so I can lose the other half on RTM.
Has anyone else found their weight has stalled/slowed when using a lot of the water flavourings?
