- okra. Cigarette smoke, old, new, and permeating a room, wafting from a balcony, etc etc. That I have so many chronic diseases. That I take so very many meds. Being cold. Anything too loud, but specifically non-classical music and the television.
I am at the point where I don't crave sugar and breads any more, and I am liking it immensely. Now I see all these marvelously delicious recipes, and they're all using erythritol (sp?). From https://getcuros(dot)com/erythritol...of-this-common-sugar(hyphen)substitute(slash) (I am hoping I've disabled this link as a live link in case I am not yet allowed to post a link.) Edit: Mods, please please forgive me! It does not kill the link!!!! I don't know how to do that without multiple edits, which practise is discouraged. Catch 22....
"While erythritol does not affect insulin or glucose levels, it might actually cause you to gain weight. Erythritol does not raise satiety hormones like Glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY). But what does that actually mean? Those hormones signal your brain when you’ve had enough to eat and sugar usually triggers their production. Erythritol doesn’t trigger that production so these hormones never provide the “full” signal you normally expect. Consuming large quantities of erythritol can cause weight gain because those signals are disrupted and it becomes more difficult to regulate your food intake."
So-- will my "sweets crave" come back? I'm not in any danger of eating too much of this stuff in one day, because even one stick of chewing gum gives me gas; haven't chewed gum in decades because of that. Every thought welcome!!!!! And thanks in advance chris
