Studies have shown that even thinking about sweet foods causes your insulin levels to rise.
The brain can't tell the difference between a natural and artificial sweetener. I don't mean YOU can't tell the difference,
I mean that when the sweet taste buds are stimulated, the brain makes insulin. This means that artificial sweeteners
may actually be worse than normal sweeteners because your body makes insulin and then there is nothing for it to
react with so it all goes towards making your cells more insulin resistant. Or at least that's how the theory goes.
There needs to be more research on this, but of course there is tons of money to prove Nutrasweet is safe and almost
none proving that it isn't.

Diet drinks and weight loss don't necessarily go hand in had. I've seen research showing diet sodas actually promote weight gain, not weight loss. In the next 2 minutes.
Diet Drinks :
1. Stevia
Waters
Look, plain water probably doesn't excite you. It doesn't for me either. I like to have a nice sweet taste with my drinks. Problem is, sugar and man-made sugar substitutes suck and are bad for you. The way around this is to use Stevia. It's a NATURAL sugar substitute that's actually sweeter than sugar.
2. Protein shakes
This is a true diet drink even though you won't see it on the label. These fill you up moderately and are loaded with healthy protein which feeds your muscles, which in turn burn off lots of calories BECAUSE your muscles burn up 4-8 times more calories than your fat.
To put it simply, if you're not having protein shakes daily, you are not maximizing your weight loss.
Use these 2 diet drinks and weight loss will happen... it's as simple as that.
