so you've been doing everything that
that diet guru told you to do but your
weight loss has been less than
spectacular in this short video I'm
going to explain to you three ways that
that sugar-free sweetener that you
thought was free game maybe stalling
your weight loss or your fat loss I'm
dr. ken berry a family physician and in
this quick little video I'm going to
tell you three reasons why that
sugar-free sweetener that you thought
was safe
might actually be slowing down or even
stopping your fat burning power now if
you know someone who's trying to lose
weight but to kind of stalled out please
consider sharing this video with them on
social media because it might help them
a lot now let's jump into the three
reasons reason number one is that many
of the sweeteners can lead to fluid
retention and fluid ways the same thing
on the scale as fat and so many people
will be actually burning fat but holding
fluid and the scale doesn't look like
it's movie now fluid it is technically
not fat but still we don't want to hold
extra fluid if we don't need to the
reason the way that the artificial
sweeteners do this is by elevating your
insulin level and now I'm going to get
to that in way number three down below
you may not have ever heard of this but
it but absolutely all the sweeteners
raise your insulin they may not raise
your blood sugar your insulin is a whole
other thing and all the sweeteners raise
that number two using artificial or
sugar-free sweeteners may actually call
up your carbohydrate addiction and beat
many people eating are trying to eat a
low carb or a keto or a carnivore diet
if they use any sweeteners at all even
keto approved sweeteners they notice
that their sweet tooth is starting to
come back and they start to crave those
foods that they're trying to avoid and
in many cases this thing can cause
someone to fall off the wagon and then
gain back all the way that they've been
trying to lose number three is something
called the cephalic phase insulin
respondent responds almost no one and
most doctors have ever heard of
cephalic phase insulin response but
there's quite a bit of research that
this is a real thing and that it's been
around for thousands and thousands of
years I'm gonna put some research links
down in the show notes below so you can
check this out and verify it for
yourself or you may even have to take a
copy of it to your doctor or to your
weight loss guru when they say that
that's not true because it absolutely is
so the cephalic phase insulin response
what is that so for thousands and
thousands feet of years hundreds of
thousands of years when we are about to
eat some carbohydrates our body needs to
know that because we immediately need to
start pumping out more insulin to deal
with the sugar that invariably comes
from all carbohydrates and so when you
put something sweet in your mouth
immediately your insulin goes up and you
may know that insulin is the fat storage
hormone or the anti fat burning hormone
and so when your insulin levels elevated
you ain't no burn no fat and that's a
big deal if you're trying to lose fat so
we think that that's why this is
happening but for many people if they're
using lots of keto approved sweeteners
and this applies to all sweeteners this
applies to saccharine definitely the
sugar aspartame monk fruit sucralose all
the sugar alcohols all the ones that you
thought were safe they probably are
better than sugar no doubt about that
but they still raise your insulin which
causes you to number one retain fluid
which shows up on the scale but more
importantly number two they can bring up
the carb addictions but then by far the
most important thing is all is when you
taste something sweet it raises your
insulin before you even swallow it
yeah there's actually a research study
I'll link to below where they let people
swish saccharin water in their mouth and
sugar water in their mouth for a minute
and then spit it out they check their
insulin and sure enough just the taste
of it raised their insulin which is
going to turn off your fat burning' it's
also very likely that if you smell a
cake baking in the oven or if you see a
Danish on the
other end of the counter just those
stimuli probably raise your insulin we
don't know about the the smelling and
the vision but we absolutely know that
if you taste something sweet in your
mouth you just raise your insulin you
just turned off your fat burning' for up
to four hours after you taste that so
this is one reason that I recommend if
you're really trying to aggressively
burn fat you've got to get all the
sweeteners out of your mouth
now if you've just started a low carb
diet or a keto diet and you're using
artificial sweeteners and you're losing
fat and you're feeling better and
inflammation is getting better then keep
using that sweetener but if you stall if
you stall then it's time to try month of
no sweeteners at all and I think that's
one of the things that will install you
I've got another video on this channel
that talks about all thirteen reasons
why your weight loss might have stalled
I'll have it pop up either here here at
the end of this video but keep in mind
the artificial sweeteners the sugar-free
sweeteners the sugar alcohols all these
guys raise your insulin that's going to
slow down if not turn off your fat
burning' if you enjoy this video please
