Artificial sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners might trick your body into thinking it is getting some energy from the sweet taste of the artificial sugar without getting the same amount of calories thus impairing insulin function.Researchers showed that people who drank diet sodas tend to eat more in order to compensate for the calories lost in the sodas. Stevia is being used by poplar soda brands for a healthier option of drinks however because of its licorice aftertaste stevia is going through a lot of processing to neutralize it thus making it less healthy.

If you want to cut sugar opt for coconut syrup , honey and stevia as they are natural sources of sweeteners .

It is better to train your taste buds to have your tea and coffee without sugar in order for your body to be less demanding of extreme flavors.
