If you're a die hard addict, even artificial sweeteners can give you a "sugar high" because your body is used to responding that way to anything sweet. And, it seems to be more pronounced the longer you live low-carb. Insulin is released and that is exactly what none of us want to have happen. The switch is permanently on to reacting to sweetness

I call artificial sweeteners low-carb methadone. From one addiction to another.

Believe me, I know from where I speak.
