If you're trying to lose weight by cutting back on sugar, here's something to think about.
The American Cancer Society has found that replacing sugar with an artificial sweetener like NutraSweet or Equal, actually makes you GAIN weight!
WHY? Because many artificial sweeteners contain Phenylalanine, a chemical that affects the part of the brain that makes you feel full. Result: People who take NutraSweet get intense sugar cravings, and actually end up eating MORE sugar!
What's more, studies show that taking NutraSweet can lead to hypothyroidism, which causes tremendous weight gain... and a whole lot of other health problems!
So, if you're trying to lose weight, stay away from those artificially sweetened desserts and diet sodas. Try some sparkling water instead, flavored with a wedge of lime, lemon, or orange. Try putting some mixed berries into your water for more natural healthy flavoring.
