I never lost weight when drinking zero sugar beverages. Although I have no proof, I’m starting to connect gaining weight when drinking zero calorie beverages.
Since the brain is relatively simple in terms of evolution, the super sweet of zero calorie soft drinks may still register as sugar in in the brain.
Although it doesn’t spike blood sugar levels, do we really know that? Even if it doesn’t, it may lower metabolic rate. The brain says sugar, the blood says no, so consequently puts the systems in a cautious mode, which may in itself decrease metabolism, which results in weight gain rather than weight loss.
So I’m going to eliminate all zero beverages from my diet as well as all sugar beverages and see what happens.
The ingestion of zero calorie beverages seems to me to elicit fatigue, which translates as hunger, with my brain telling me I need calories when I really don’t.
It just seems that the more zero calorie beverages I consume, the more difficult it is to lose weight, even when my caloric level is low and my physical activity is increased.
It also seems that the heartburn associated with eating sugar is the same as eating no sugar when consumers zero calorie beverages.
They make me hungry when I shouldn’t be is the bottom line, which results in my effort not to eat than it should.
