You might think you're doing yourself a favor using artificial sweeteners to make your favorite beverages sweeter. You're not. Not only are you ingesting fake crap, you might also be making yourself fatter.
Studies show that artificial sweeteners stimulate your appetite and can increase your cravings for carbs.
So what can you do? Nix the fake sweet stuff. Don't replace it with sugar just nix it. Have your coffee or tea without sweetener. Novel concept, right?
I pitched this idea to a friend looking to lose weight and she asked "But how can I sweeten my drinks?"
My advice? Let your appetite mature. We're no longer children. We don't need sweet drinks, sweet tea, sweet juices or sweet coffee all the time. Once in a blue moon? Fine. Every day. No.
Once your taste buds get accustomed to coffee with milk or naturally brewed tea without sweetener, fake or real, you will cringe at the taste of the pink, blue or even the yellow stuff.
You won't miss it all. Promise.
