Hello Lovely Sugar Detox Challengers,
Can we have sweeteners on the detox? Which ones? During your 5 Day Sugar Detox, some of you are wondering if sweeteners are allowed.
I'm going to share with you some info and you can decide if using any sweeteners are going to help or hinder you on the 5 day detox.
Low Carb Sweeteners like the ones I use in all my recipes are truly a blessiing when learnign to remove sugar from your life. They help you enjoy desserts so you don't feel deprived and can continue sticking to your food plan.
The following sweeteners I love and use regularly:
None of these sweeteners will spike your blood glucose or insulin, nor shoud they cause cravings. With that being said, some people do in fact feel triggered by the sweet taste, regardless if it's naturally sugar free or not. Some people will even feel hunger due to using low carb sweeteners than if they were to completly avoid them all together.
So the ulimate decision is yours. I would caution those of you, who may feel a trigger from anything sweet to completely steer clear for the 5 days of the detox.
I will also say, that if using low carb sweeteners and having keto desserts will help you better stay away from sugar and refined carbs, then by all means, use them for the end result of not giving into temptations.
Challenge begin Monday January 11th. I'll be emailing again soon with the times for the Live sessions I'll be holding so you can be ready to join me!
