hello everyone today I want to talk about the effects of sweeteners on
weight loss it's a very interesting topic these are my ideas I want to
videos is I want to help people to understand that mental health and
physical health come together to produce overall well-being and so therefore we
have to pay attention to both I really do find that when people have more
information they tend to make better decisions okay I'm gonna
I wanna start off by telling a little story I don't know if you ever had the
experience when you were younger where your parents are on their way out and
they're gonna be back in a few hours and they tell you that they want you to do
XYZ chores before they get back home and so they leave and you go sit down and
watch TV or play your video game or do something else
and thinking in your head that you have so much time and that you'll do it
before they get back and then by the time you realize it you hear the door
jiggling and you haven't done your chores and now you pop up out of the
couch and you're running around like a crazy person trying to get the chores
done before they get in with the groceries let's say and see that you
haven't done what you were asked to do the reason I'm telling you this story is
because I actually believe that our body functions in a very similar way when it
comes to sugar okay okay bear with me I'm gonna explain how I think that when
it comes to sugar entering our system our bodies behave like an angry parent
has just gotten home when we ingest sugar our body is put in a position
where that five grams of sugar that's already circulating in our system
because our body keeps it at that level is now being bumped up by whatever we
ate so if we've eaten something that has 10 grams the our body is realizing that
10 grams of sugar are coming in but only five can be in our bloodstream so
something needs to move around so what happens and this is something that you
can look up in any you know biology textbook or website or whatever is that
when we ingest any carbohydrates our body right away pull some of those
carbohydrates out in our stomach so in our stomach some of the carbohydrates
gets pulled out and gets utilized as quickly
as possible as energy now I know a lot of weight lifters and exercise people
believe that this is because sugar is so darn energy efficient and good for us to
you I don't think that's why this is happening you see too much sugar and our
bloodstream is toxic I believe that the reason that our bodies grabs the sugar
and pushes some of it out to be used as energy is because it's used as energy
it's no longer in our system and so therefore we've just gotten rid of some
so what does that mean sugar at the door is like an angry parent
and so if you look at what happens when you we taste something sweet our body is
already mobilizing for us to have that sweet in our system it knows it's coming
right our taste receptors tells our system that sugar it's on its way why is
that important because our system needs to know when sugar it's on its way
because we can't have more than 5 grams in our body at any sorry in our
bloodstream at any particular point in time we can have it in our body stored
away as fat stored away as glycogen we can have it in our body but sitting in
our bloodstream we cannot what I believe is happening is
that when we taste sugar and our body puts some sugar away to make space for
the sugar that's coming in so either we use it as energy or we store it as fat
or glycogen which is fine our body puts some of it away then the sugar that
comes in replaces what was put away and everything is back to homeostasis but
what happens when the sweet that was tasted was artificial sweetener so now
we have a problem see our body is being told carbs are on
the way but in actuality it was an artificial sweetener but our body
doesn't know that so it puts some carbs away with the expectation but carbs are
coming and what happens no carbs come so the problem is that we've put some carbs
away but no carbs come what does our body do now right because now we might
be in a slight little deficit I have experienced this phenomena that I'm
talking about I'm not just making something up and
it happened to me multiple times and after thinking about it this is where
this idea came to me and again like I'm saying this is totally my idea but I'm
trying to help you to understand that I see happening and actually after I saw
it happen to myself I started to investigate with other people and to do
that little experiment of between lunch and supper where you normally would not
have had anything because I'm talking about people were doing keto drink some
diet soda and tell me what happens because this is what was happening to me
between lunch and supper a few times I decided as a little treat for myself
because I like diet soda I would drink a diet soda and then about 20 minutes to
an hour later I was extremely hungry the kind of hungry that wasn't going away
and I couldn't figure out what was going on until eventually I started thinking
about what happens when my taste receptors think that there's sugar
coming and honestly when you look at the biology it makes sense as soon as sugar
hits your stomach some of it gets pushed out to be used as energy and your body
starts putting your insulin goes up and your body starts putting it away as fat
or glycogen so if I tell my body that there's sugar coming but none comes of
course it's still gonna put something away so I was actually hungry struggling
to make it to lunch I mean sorry it struggling to make it to supper and the
people that I asked to do the same thing had the same experience that all of a
sudden they were hungry are the artificial sweeteners causing my insulin
spike our mind and our senses are connected and our bodies are connected
so everything is connected so if your body is being told that sugar is coming
it behaves as if sugar is coming and sugar can't stay in our system so it
gets put away but now I'm low on sugar because I have to have five grams of
sugar in my system or I become hypoglycemic right so now it wants to
put the sugar back so it's pushing me to eat and honestly it takes more energy
for my body to go and pull some carbs from protein then it would be for me to
just go eat something so that's what happens it pushes me to eat something
how does this affect weight loss if I allow myself to eat keto snack
which have no notes and no carbs in them but they're sweetened with artificial
sweeteners if I allowed myself to drink sodas that have artificial sweeteners or
any other kind of drinks with artificial sweeteners whenever I ingest anything
with artificial sweeteners I'm telling my body something sweet is coming even
though nothing sweet is coming is and my body does this process so what I'm
asking you to realize is that if you do find yourself still getting hungry even
though you're not eating excessive carbs there's a possibility
that is the artificial sweeteners that you're eating that are pushing you to
want to eat because in actuality we're kind of forcing our system to put awake
sugar that it didn't need to put away again this is my theory on this I'm not
a medical doctor I'm just looking at what happened to me I'm looking at what
happened to the few people that I asked to try this out they all reported back
to me the same thing that weirdly they became hungry even though normally they
could make it to supper and all of a sudden they couldn't make it to supper
and I want to push point out that this is actually physical hunger this is not
that psychological hunger that I was talking about in the other video I'll
link that up above this is a physical hunger this is a hunger of someone who
actually created a deficit somehow and now is needing to replenish what was
taken out which means that like I said earlier it doesn't go away you can drink
water you can do all the normal things that we would do for a psychological
hunger give yourself time etc it doesn't go away you actually feel hungry until
you eat something so what the answer is for this is actually and I know you're
gonna think I'm gonna say well don't eat artificial sweeteners but that's not the
answer I mean it could be the answer if you want it to be the answer but that's
not the answer I was talking about if I wanna have a soda if I want to have a
Keadle friendly treat that's sweet what I really need to be able to do is make
sure that I have those with my meal what was what I did notice is that if I have
the Keitel friendly treat or if I have a soda a diet soda at the at my meal so
with my food then because there are usually carbs in what I eat because I
normally do eats vegetables then my body doesn't have that reaction
because it still has to put those carbs away that I didn't just anyways and so
it seems to all like level itself out so my suggestion to you is rather than have
a snack between and you shouldn't be having snacks anyways the whole point of
trying to be healthier is that you're not eating breakfast snack lunch snack
dinner snack because that just creates insulin spikes to begin with at the end
of the day if you are eating a nice meal and then you turn around and you have a
diet soda or keto friendly drink that has an artificial sweetener in it or
keto friendly snack that has artificial sweetener in it and it tastes sweet
having a tender meal will not affect your your ability to go between meals I
really hope that helps you to understand that artificial sweeteners can have some
level effect on some people and by managing them when you have them you can
definitely mitigate any issues that you'll have in terms of feeling hungry
because that could cause you to eat excessively or to eat at times where you
would not have normally eaten I want to thank you for watching Mind Blowing
