The biggest prevention to our weight-loss is not that artificial sweeteners have less calories than sugar.
I challenge you to think bigger than if your artificial sweetener will help you lose weight because it has less calories than sugar. . .
Sweeteners prevent weight-loss because of the effect they have on your brain.
Here are 3 major effects sweeteners have on your brain – and why they are preventing your weight-loss:
1. Your sweet craving drives overeating
From a Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine article:
“Experiments generally have found that sweet taste, whether delivered by sugar or artificial sweeteners, enhanced human appetite. Animals seek food to satisfy the inherent craving for sweetness, even in the absence of energy need.”
This means that even if your body does not need energy, or calories, from food, it is seeking to satisfy its sweet craving.
You may think, “Why not give your body its sweet fix though a no-calorie sweetener?”
Here’s my take – as a longer-term solution, why not reduce your dependence on sweetness so you don’t need any kind of fix?
It’s possible (I did it after being a sugar addict until I was in my thirties)
