Addicted to sweets

[Pagey]

There are a couple studies now which show that you actually consume more calories if you ingest artificial sweeteners. The mouth/brain tastes a sweet sensation, but no actual sugar is available to produce energy. So you eat more later to make up for it.

isnt aspartame ment to be really bad for us or something? i remember some controversy over it

I think artificial sweeteners in sodas are supposed to make you gain weight faster than 'natural' sodas because they make your body retain more calories...something like that. In any case sodas of any kind are a rather bad idea if you wanna lose weight.

Oh OP, dried fruit can help with cravings.

Someone told me Sainsbury's don't put any aspartame into any of their own products any more... Artificial sweeteners are getting pretty bad press recently, which is deserved imo.

Some people who crave sweets have a hard time metabolizing complex carbs and proteins, which is a function of the liver. Berberines like oregon grape, when taken as a tincture 20 minutes before a complex carb/protein meal, help the liver to change how it processes. This is the remedy for a "cold liver" as described by Michael Moore, a famous herbalist here on the west coast.

Eating simple carbs will actually make the problem worse.

I love sweets also but I try to consume them to the minimum. I notice that ants will "swarm" to my urine or saliva, that made me think I have somehow a high sugar in my body, I am afraid of diabetes.

 

[jancrow]

Get a blood test. I got lots of recurring fungal problems and assumed that I had diabetes, but I didn't.

 

[endlessnameless]

its no surprise, sugar is plenty addictive


anyone remember reisins or whatever they were called. chocolate/toffee little square sweets


as yoofs we often munched on those while getting stoned. they were long lasting, tasted nice and individually even resembled a block of hash.. not to mention a mere letter away from being called resin. that was pretty much enough to make it de facto munch for a while

 

[monstanoodle]

Oh for the love of chocolate

In 2002 research at Princeton began showing the neurochemical effects of sugar, noting that sugar might serve as a gateway drug for other drugs.

^The 2nd sentence put me off reading the rest -

Some scientists assert that consumption of sweets or sugar could have a heroin addiction like effect

Okay then!

 

[Shambles]

Best. Choccy. Ever.

 

[Mr D Matukas]

Yeah aspartame is terrible for you, there are loads of documentary's on it, and it is addictive, so yeah... sweets are addictive

Probably better off doing a few lines of cocaine a day or something

If i ever told anyone I'd eaten chocolate anus, I'd get some very odd looks!
