Hello all, I’m currently 2 months into this lifestyle change and I’ve been keeping my daily caloric intake from 1,200-1,500 calories, as well as going to the gym and burning 500 calories every other day. I’ve went from 362 lbs to 305 in these 2 months and I’m very proud of myself! I’ve gained and lost and gained and lost a couple times in my life, so I understand what I need to sustain myself once I’m down to my goal weight. I feel great, clear headed, have so much energy and desire to move around. I’ve been ensuring that I’m getting all of my nutrients through MFP and consulting from my aunt who is a licensed dietician. (She’s currently away without cell service).
The only things I’ve been drinking are water, black coffee (2 times a week), and a zero sugar Gatorade which has the artificial sweetener ‘Sucralose’ in it. Basically Splenda. I drink a 28 oz bottle over two days so 14 oz a day. This is how I satisfy my craving for something sweet, as well as get some of those electrolytes back. I can recognize that it’s not needed at all in my diet and I could totally cut it out tomorrow if I wanted to, my only question is do I need to? I’m curious if this is holding my weight loss back at all. I’ve seen articles that say it’s not directly related to weight gain, but I’ve also seen some that say it allows more glucose into your body and stores fat longer. I’m a little conflicted because I thought it was harmless so I guess I just need some more confirmation from you guys. Thanks in advance :-)
