I'm not doing anything differently, and I'm dropping pounds like crazy! It just goes to show how important it is not to get discouraged and stick to your guns when the going gets rough.
I wanted to post a little bit about artificial sweeteners and get some feedback, if you don't mind. I have noticed, for a while, that when I eat/drink anything with Aspartame/nutra sweet in it, I feel really awful afterwards. It causes me to have kind of a brain fog and even a little blurry vision. It also makes me want to eat and eat, plus I get very low energy. It's kind of weird, because even though my stomach may be full (I don't have the normal sensations of hunger), I still have the need to eat. It's the strangest thing. I am thinking of calling it a Aspartame sensitivity or allergy. Have any of you experienced these type of symptoms? I did some googling and there is a lot of crazy claims about it causing brain tumors and lupus and multiple sclerosis. I'm not sure I believe that, but I do know that I feel awful when I eat it. Even just yesterday, I ate a yoplait light yogurt, and I started having those reactions within 10 minutes. I guess I am just going to have to find alternatives that don't include the aspartame. I would love to hear your stories and insights as well as better alternatives.
Thank you in advance!
