Artificial Sweeteners does it really work in losing weight?

 

People can’t just live without sugar and when they start gaining weight it is one of the most difficult tasks for them to live without it. But does an artificial sweetener help in losing weight instead of consuming the regular sugar in the pantry. Well, it does somewhat but not to that extent where shedding pound in a week is an easy task. According to the review of the scientific evidence on artificial sweeteners, there is no proof that the sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame help in managing weight. The review also suggests that the sweeteners may also cause future problems if consumed regularly.

Meghan Azad, Lead author of the review and a research scientist at the University of Manitoba said that they were interested in knowing about the people who regularly consume Artificial sugar not only for controlling their weight but also for other healthy choices. She says that there is more research needs to be done to discover more because there is no proof of the benefit from Artificial Sugar for weight loss, diabetes or any other cardiovascular problems.

It is been observed that quarter of the US children are consuming them and 41% of adults consuming more of them per day. People are also unknowingly consuming them in products such as yoghurt or granola bars. Either way, if you use Artificial sugar substitute instead with the real sugar you will be still suffering from weight loss problems because the body may act up which may change the metabolism in the body to the worse.

Healthy Alternatives to the regular sugar are as follows:-

1.    Jaggery:-

Jaggery is a better option because that is a very healthy sugar because it is not processed much. You can find get granules of jaggery in any grocery store which can be used in tea and also while preparing any dish.

2.    Fruits:-

If you have sweet tooth and at the same time suffering from weight problem then you will have to stop having any stuff which is made of sugar. But the real catch is that people go through a tough time during their weight loss journey and these struggles can be very de-motivating. Have fruits such as Apple, Pineapple, watermelon which will help you lose weight and also satisfy your sweet cravings.
