[โ] Anchorxiety@reddthat.com 11 points 7 months ago (11 children) I really struggle with this one. I love sugary treats. Chocolate, fizzy drinks, etc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 11 child comments replies: [โ] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 21 points 7 months ago (4 children) With fizzy drinks I found it very easy to shift towards flavored seltzers instead of it's the fizz specifically. And if it's sodas... Zero sugar soda tastes 99% the same as regular due to the mix of multiple sweeteners. Totally different from diet sodas which usually just use one or two, usually aspartame which also has a strong aftertaste. If possible for chocolate, higher quality products often will hit that craving better than the cheap candy bar type stuff with 5x the amount of sugar. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [โ] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 2 points 7 months ago I was gonna say, I can not only taste the difference, but I also get violent diarrhea whenever I drink the zero-sugar sodas. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] polotype@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children) Be somewhat wary of artificial sweeteners, most of them are relatively new and so have unwanted side effects ore unknown side effect.

Some known ones include : --cancer-- (edit : the cancer part is wrong aparently, see coment bellow) and obesity because you body cranks your calorie retention to the max (it sees a full can of something that tastes very much like sugar go in and no calories come out so it goes "wow, i'm really bad at extracting and storing energy.
