just having some quarantine thoughts during covid19 aka Kung flu aka Chinese virus

artificial sweeteners

that shit 0 calories

so what the fuck

 

[Papa]

Do it and report back

 

[triplestation]

i have a hypothesis

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Just do meth.

Splenda drops, yes
Splenda packets, no

Packets contain maltodextrin which has a high glycemic index and 4cal/g. Splenda packets are not really 0 calories - they're 3.5 or 4, and anything below 5 cal/serving can legally be rounded down to 0 call on labels

that shit is terrible for you, clone brother trip

I've been putting six packets into my iced tea for about 2 weeks now

about 20 calories

I could have been using a tablespoon of actual sugar at 50 calories

No huge difference

I can do 50 calories

These sugarless fucks won't trick me again

 

[Papa]

[Rentahamster]

Or like, just don't use anything lol.

Tea in the raw, baby.

Don't fast in this isolation. You need your immune system to be strong, so eat a shit ton of meat and garlic.

 

[Taxexemption]

I'm fasting, started on Monday. I am only consuming black coffee, unsweetened tea, a centrum silver multivitamin, water, and saltwater. I have flavored zero sugar electrolyte packets coming on wednesday. I don't know what they sweetened it with I just know I will need more potassium than is in my multivitamin to get through this.

Fasting ist one of the best thing to get your immune system up and running again, at least if it's done right and you trigger autophagy.

You might gain weight in tumors, however.

Going to refer you back to this thread:

What’s something you’ve never done, but probably most others on here have

I’ve never played an RPG. What the fuck are those games. It’s like 90% text and choosing options and then 10% running around. Fuck that

If you really need to lose weight, just stop eating.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Splenda's gross.

Use Equal instead.

 

[Cutty Flam]

Monk Fruit
Stevia
Erythritol

Use those to sweeten everything. Those are the healthiest and most trustworthy sweeteners that come with almost no side effects. They don't stimulate your blood sugar levels, or illicit any kind of insulin response

Splenda is dextrose and maltodextrin I think, with a bit if sucralose, which has been shown in studies to cause brain tumors and other issues. I don't trust any sugar free sweeteners except for the three aforementioned in my post, and I've tried all of them (sucralose, apsartame being the ones I wish I never had but as a kid drinking protein shakes I had no idea they were the ingredients that were killing me)

 

[Tesseract]

if you are fasting, you shouldn't be touching sugar

just my 'pines

 

[Cutty Flam]

There are some keto protein drinks that use erythritol that are absolutely perfect. Tastes like the perfect amount of sugar is in it, but there is no sugar. It's incredible

You can't go wrong with Stevia, Monk Fruit, and Erythritol sweetened foods. It makes low carb or lower carb diets way easier to adapt to

 

[Cutty Flam]

The protein shake is by Bolthouse btw, Keto Protein drink chocolate flavored

 

[DESTROYA]

If your fasting just stay away from all sweeteners more so of the artificial kind.

I second this, when I went sugar free to break my sugar addiction and insulin resistance these were the best

Monk fruit is the most sugar like in taste (I find stevia to be bitter), it's expensive af though, and erythritol is often mixed with monk fruit to stretch it because it's not a massively cultivated produce

Doesn't that shit cause cancer? Or is that some dumb myth I hear everyone say...

Yacon syrup is another good one with a great fiber quality as well.

Yeah sugar free is the best way to go. There are sugar free maple syrups, cookies, just recently I tried sugar free brownies that were pretty good. Sugar free protein drinks are amazing, I buy KOS chocolate protein powder, pea protein, and it tastes pretty damn extraordinary in just water. Add an ounce or two of coconut milk and some extra stevia for taste, and it's the best protein shake you will ever have. Add some blueberries? Tastes just like a dessert, not even a protein drink hardly but a dessert. Incredible products out there that are Keto friendly

 

[kingwingin]

What's wrong increased insulin when fasting?

Nice! I will have try that protein. I try to stick to organic and always go plant based, never whey. All of the nutmilks like almond, coconut, oat, etc, I always get unsweetened as well.

You're better off boosting it with starches in rice or potatoes rather than added sugar, especially processed.

I heard it gave mice a shit ton of cancer

But then omg but were not mice lols

Idk I think there's still something to it

I think artificial sweeteners are a very new thing and idk about the quality quantity of studies related to them

Fuck it tho I'm sticking to sugar in moderation

Ya I googled it quick and said there's no connection to cancer but a lot of topics came up on the subject. Seems to be really bad for your gut. Didn't really read too much. Just skimmed quick. I'd stick to sugar just to be safe though lol
Just use a lot less

 

[iceman1304]

It will affect your gut bacteria so probably best to pay attention to your body. Maybe don't keep using it long-term if you are worried about any adverse affects. Perhaps get on some good probiotics afterwards.
