Aspartame?
Can someone please give me the low down on why Aspartame is bad if you are low-carbing? I know I read stuff here and there about .. this or that but I never can really understand it.
I eat some SF Jello (pre made stuff) and some generic diet sodas that have it .. and It could explain my stall but .. why does it cause stalls? TIA!!! |
Aspartame can cause blood sugar spikes in some people which causes the stall.

Plus, it contains Methanol which in many people can cause Migraines and other problems. I get headaches from even 1-20 oz. Diet Pepsi. |
stay away from it!!!! the aspartame in those dentyne chewing gums stalled me for 4days... had a lot to stay awake while cramming for exams, now that i took them out yesterday, i lost 1/2lb since :) ASPARTAME = BAAAAAAAAAAAAD

I like Eclipse myself--made with sugar alcohols. ;)
A person can actually gain weight on Aspartame. I know it's the dumbest thing. I wish they'd just get rid of it all together, but it's one of Monsanto's babies! And just don't get me started on Monsanto! :p |
Thanks everybody for the replies This really does make sense .. I have been having a stall for A LONG TIME and fluctuating up and down. . also but I can never break 165. I guess I'm heading down now because .. I'm giving up on that damn Aspartame!! I'm also insulin resistant so .. sugar is EXTRA evil for me.
I found some sodas yesterday after looking at EVERY soda can in the store yesterday .. that is made with splenda! :) .. it's Diet Rite! They taste pretty good .. we'll see how it goes! |
it would be cool if the "coca cola" company were to introduce some splenda sweetened sodas! all their diet sodas contain aspartame grrr
