Addicted to Sweets? The Cephalic Phase Insulin Response

[Dolphin]

Thank you soooooooooooo much for this thread!!!!!!

[Mickkey]

I was a total Diet Coke addict. I had to have it EVERY day and lots of it. My kids even started lecturing me on the amount I drank, telling me how it couldn't be good for me. I just poo pooed them away. One was never enough, and I figured if I was going to diet (on the various dozen's I've tried) and be deprived of the food I wanted, then I deserved lots of sugar free soda. I switched to iced tea and now I'm trying to limit that to one glass a day. I do miss the sweet taste. I hope to stop missing it soon!

Does the artificial sweetner has this affect on everyone? I crave sweets sometimes, but not necessarily after already eating something sweet. I do chew sugar free gum and have about 1 diet soda per day. Is this possiby hindering my weight loss? Bummer!

Pretty weight loss ticker in your sig Lady.

No, it doesn't just me and other sugar junkies

If you're doing that you might be effect your weight loss because the carbs do add up and you aren't counting its easy to let the carbs go too high. Plus diet soda has a lot of sodium in it, thus you can retain water and the scale won't budge.

wow... you know, reading this makes SO much sense! I am *seriously* fighting some carb addictions... and I have a MAJOR sweettooth. I'm just going to have to suck it up and realize that if I can do this, I can do ANYTHING! (including, but not limited to fitting into some uber-sexy outfits straight off the regular rack!)

Hey there my Arkansas folks!!!! My family who raised me is from there!!!—Straight up old fashioned Arkansas raising. Nobody messed with us in the neighborhood because we were deep .

Oh yeah the sugar thing is no joke!!! Read my siggy girl and you'll see if you stick with NOTHING sweet in your life you WILL LOSE AND THE CRAVINGS WILL CEASE. I just chose to have a beer one day and all he11 broke loose, that lead to apple smirnoffs then it was on like Donkey Kong.
