This is just something that made a big difference in my weightloss. I believe it is fully because of my body make-up. I feel many are the same, however.... we are all individuals. If you do not have the cravings for stuff then diet drinks I would think are fine for you. It was not an easy task for me. I gave up diet drinks like I gave up smoking. Cold turkey. I am now soda and smoke free for months. And loving it. It was equally as hard for me to train my taste buds to drinking something else. It can be done. I am proof. I actually really like seltzer water now, when before I HATED it. I am now starting the salt reduction stage of my diet. I'll let you know how that goes as well. Sorry not so helpful this time. Df --Previous Message-- : : I have no problems wanting sweetned foods : except with my diet drinks as I just don't : care for water. So do you think that is : okay, I mean I could leave a cookie or : brownie 10 miles away and it's okay for me, : I hate the water we have in the town I live : in. So what do you think? : Tommy : : : : --Previous Message-- : and other drinks/foods with artificial : sweetners. : : Gals, : I am telling you. If you have a hard time : getting over yoiur cravings for carb and : sweet foods youi need to try to give up : these products. It willl NOT be easy. I : went cold turkey after 3 dyas and now it has : been a month with no caffeine or diet pops. : Nothing with sweetners. I drink water, and : carbinated water (plain.) I had to TRAIN : myself to like it. However, I was craving : the snapping open of a cold can, LOL. So I : got myself to like plain carbinated : water....seltzer water. : : The gain I have made is that the diet is so : much easier for me now. Before I would be : "ok" after in ketosis, but now I : never have these cravings. : : Hwere is an HONEST example. Real life. IU : made my kids HOT GEWY CHEWY Chocolate Chip : cookies tonight and didn't even : "think" about stealing a nibble. : I threw them in a jar and closed the lid. : No biggy. Never desired them at all. NO : KIDDING!!!! : : I completley attribute this to the giving up : atrificial saweeetners. Now I also gave up : cafeine. I think that is still ok, but then : yiou would need to drink it black, no cream : or sweetner of any kind. : : If you are struggling, please try this. It : worked first hand for me. I wont make : promises to you but it is really worth an : honest effort. Also my skin is so much : smoother and clearer after giving that all : up. : : Food for thought, : Dragonfly : : OK, Now I am going to bed, lol. : : :
