OK ... here is the all the proof I need. As I shared earlier in the week I gained 5 pounds in 5 days binging on Diet Coke. With no Diet Coke since Sunday I have lost 6 pounds. The craving control provided with SlimMax, I didn't even crave a Diet Coke or unhealthy junk food. I also think Diet Coke made with artificial sweeteners cause bloating from water weight gain.
People use artificial sweeteners to cut their caloric intake, but often the very opposite effect occurs. New research shows that artificial sweeteners stimulate taste receptors which causes a sense of sweetness in both the esophagus and stomach. Anticipating energy, the pancreas releases insulin, an important hormone for accumulating body fat. Then the chemicals are sent to the brain’s satiety center, which becomes confused as to whether or not the body is actually receiving calories. The result is you feel even hungrier and less full, which can lead to weight gain.
Are Artificial Sweeteners Addictive?
Artificial sweeteners such as Sweet N Low, Equal and Splenda are substances some people feel they can’t live without, a sign of an addiction. Another indication artificial sweeteners are addictive is they are much sweeter than natural sugars, such as those found in whole grains, fruits and skim milk, and can actually reset your taste buds. Then your body builds up a tolerance, which can cause overuse, another sign of addiction to the unhealthy chemicals found in artificial sweeteners.
If you are using a lot of artificial sweeteners you could be causing damage to your health, now is the time to break the addiction.
Until next time ... Stay Healthy!
