How about just leaving out the glutamates and aspartame?
Google: Aspartame makes you hungry
100’s of pages of documentation of that. Diet drinks are sabotaged. As is any other ‘diet’ sweetner.
Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Have been on low carbs for almost 2 weeks. Pounds are melting away. Blood glucose readings dropping. Feeling alive for the first time in a year.
Please, do not let any more scientists mess with our food supply. There is precious little that is safe to eat as it is.
TL
The only way I am able to lose weight is with an extremely low carb diet. The problem for me though is loss of potassium. I have to supplement with 99mg three or four times a day while losing the weight.
I took my docs advice about 6 months ago and adopted a pretty much CAVEMAN diet.....dropped pounds, glucose levels, (87) Triglycerides down (57)....my total Cholesterol went up...but HDL (112) went up too...and what’s really weird is I was diagnosed with small Pattern B, dense, non-buyoant LDL a few years ago, and told I couldn’t do anything about it (hereditary)...now the report says I’m Pattern A LDL....???? PLUS....I’m hardly ever hungry anymore!
Welcome to the “whole foods” approach (not the store, the diet). I am one of the lucky who has an intolerance for aspartame and have avoided “diet” products most of my life. If I want low sugar, I eat half or use half. If I want sugar free I eat something without it. Same goes for fats. With vegetables and a decent piece of bread, I do OK.
As a drink by itself V-8 juice is not too bad. It used to be one of the free items on the Weight Watchers menu.
If you drink diet pop, best to do it with a meal, not by itself.
Low carb is the only thing that works for me, too.
