A lot of the times diets fail\u00a0 because the person can\u2019t restrict themselves from sweets, cakes, and carbs for too long.<\/p>\n

Most people tend to break their will and whenever they do they go all out and have a massive cheat day.<\/p>\n

Artificial sweeteners can be an alternative to actual sugar but they\u2019re still not ideal for long term health.<\/p>\n

One of the more dangerous substances like aspartame, acesulfame K, and sucralose are linked with diabetes, gut disbiosis, and brain cancer. Yikes!<\/p>\n

Of course, you\u2019d have to be consuming like 10 diet beverages every day for years to have these effects but they\u2019re still not going to help you with weight loss that much.<\/p>\n

The rationale is that having something artificially sweetened helps the dieter to satisfy their sweet tooth without the calories. That\u2019s perfectly fine and it can work if you stick to only a single choice.<\/p>\n

However, satisfying your sweet tooth with artificial sweeteners is only going to keep the sweet tooth alive and you\u2019re going to keep getting sugar cravings in the future.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the endless trap of yo-yo dieting tends to occur.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t even have the desire for sweet foods, then you\u2019re not going to crave them either. You can satisfy your body\u2019s energy demands with other nutrient dense whole foods.<\/p>\n

A much better option is to avoid all artificial sweeteners or at least limit them quite extensively and fast instead.<\/p>\n
