Weight-Loss Sugar alternatives

[timhale]

It's obvious that many people struggle with weight because of the sugars in our foods....both the amount and types!

But, so many of the sugar alternatives have such negative side effects, or are at least questionable.

What kind of results has anyone had with xylitol?

I'm a soccer coach and personal trainer and have seen some of my clients have great success with it!

Hoping to start a discussion and gain some insight from everyone's experience!

Is your magic chocolate related to xylitol by chance?

Hey!

Answered this is another post, but YES it does use the natural sweetener xylitol.

What do you know about xylitol? Are you for or against?

Happy to have a discussion on the it...

hey!. this is what i have searched.."Chemically speaking, xylitol is not actually a sugar, but a sugar alcohol. It differs from other sweeteners such as sorbitol, fructose and glucose because the xylitol molecule has five, instead of six, carbon atoms. Most bacterias in mouth are unable to make use of such sugars. This is one reason why xylitol helps prevent caries."

Redcel,

Hey you're right...it does have the advantage of preventing cavities for that reason.

Also, since it is a NATURAL sugar alcohol, it doesn't have a lot of the side effects that all the artificial stuff has.

I couldn't tell if you're actually tried it...or if you just looked it up???
