7 Things that Could Happen If You Stop Eating Artificial Sweeteners
It's a common scenario: To stay full throughout the day but keep calories low, many people will sip five or six diet sodas and eat their only meal at dinner, explains Caroline Cederquist, MD, a metabolism and weight loss expert and founder of bistroMD. And even if that meal isn't huge (so their total daily calorie intake is not high), they find they still can't lose weight. The problem may be all those sugar substitutes. "Artificial sweeteners consumed alone, without food, can trigger the release of insulin, because the body is expecting something sweet," Cederquist explains. "Insulin is a hormone that helps with the storage of fat." Eat regular meals to avoid a spike in insulin and you could start seeing excess pounds come off. These fat-releasing foods can help.
