I can say that I am never hungry any more, and I used to be, or did I just want to eat something? But the "gotta have sweet stuff" thing seems to me like vegetarians who eat fake meat & sausages. No offence !
*grin* I tend to agree with this though, but I can also see that if you're cooking for the family that's not sugar free, that makes it hard. My family has learned what dextrose means, so I say 'glucose' now, too, although they know I do sugar free desserts only.
I think the point here with the fake meat sausages/ fake sugar treats is that we are making healthier food choice (or possibley an environmental/conservation/animal protection choice - i.e I refuse to eat eggs or egg products that aren't made from organic free range eggs but i still eat eggs! just the better option) ...and why miss out on the flavour if you dont need to..?? Its about the substance not the flavour - if i was told sugar is all good so go for it, I'd keep eating it, but its NOT so substituting with a more healthful alternative is perfect. No harmful substance but get to still enjoy the flavour - win, win!! If we are talking chemical alternative then I disagree as this is still not a healthful option but this is the point for me - the healthier alternative and its a bonus that flavour doesn't need to be sacrificed... :-)
