Kicking the sugar habit

deedarino · 06-01-2012, 06:12 PM

There have been some studies come out recently that say over time, our bodies start to "see" artificial sweetners as sugar and they affect blood sugar the same. I only drank diet pepsi forever and I am pretty sure it just about killed me. I know it didn't keep me from gaining weight.

I like water with fresh lemons or limes. No sweetener or sugar. Like everyone said, stevia or agave are good if you want sweet.
