Lose Weight With Xylitol
You can Lose weight with Xylitol, which is a sugar free sweetener you can add to your food. Xylitol has been around for more than 40 years and is very popular as a sugar free sweetener in chewing gum.
Xylitol is a “one-for-one” sugar substitute, meaning for every cup or teaspoon of sugar you use instead one cup or teaspoon of Xylitol. This is unlike other sugar substitutes that require different amounts to substitute in recipes - like both Stevia or Splenda. Xylitol is a natural sweetener because it’s found in fruits, vegetables, and even mushrooms.
When I first found Xylitol I was very surprised, because I’d been using Splenda for years and had very poor luck using it to cook and bake with. Splenda has a distinct aftertaste that nearly ruins anything you bake with it. I first tried Xylitol because I was told it didn’t have any aftertaste at all. My daughter baked some chocolate brownies with it and they were absolutely incredible! I’ve never tasted something sugar free before that was so decadent!
I’m a type II diabetic, so I’ve probably tried or eaten just about everything sugar free there is in the grocery store. Besides Nutrasweet or Spenda, the most popular fake sweetener I’ve sen used in cookies and candy is “Sorbitol”. It’s not only not the greatest tasting sweetener, but Sorbitol has an unwanted after-effect. In many people if you eat too much it gives you diarrhea. When I go to the store I now stay away from any food that contains sorbitol in the ingredients. It has different effects on different people, but if I eat just one piece of candy or one cookie containing it I’ll start having massive gas for hours. If I eat half a dozen pieces….well - we just won’t talk about that.
The difference between Xylitol and other sugar substitute sweeteners is the fact that it has a real health benefit that none of the others do. It was found in the 70’s that Xylitol actually kills bacteria. It not only kills bacteria, but over time in strengthens the enamel on your teeth - which is why Xylitol was in the very first chewing gum in the world in Finland in 1975.
Nowadays you can find Xylitol in all kinds of things, such as nasal washes and mouth care products. When you use Xylitol it doesn’t change your blood sugar or glucose level in any way, and that coupled with the fact that it tastes nearly exactly like sugar with no aftertaste means that it SHOULD be manufacturers first choice for sugar substitue. I believe since it’s more expense - they choose cheaper substitutes at our expense.
The first time I bought Xylitol was in a health food store, and I paid $8.99 for a very small bag - I think a half pound? Since - I’ve found that you can buy it on eBay from reputable health suppliers in larger quantities at less cost.

It is always a struggle to get the weight off and then it takes a conscious effort to keep it off.
Being over weight is an emotionally draining and physically draining situation to be in and many times your struggle is reduced to ridicule and insensitivity.
The exhilaration you feel when you look back 5 months before you made a conscious effort and see positive results is truly gratifying and often creates wide smiles and happy tears.
Losing weight can be accomplish but motivation must come from the inside to change the outside.
You can and will do it, just never give up hope.
Only give up the pounds and the inches.

“Xylitol is a natural sweetener because it’s found in fruits, vegetables, and even mushrooms”
above sentence is something which inspired me the most. I am wondering why our doctors just restrain us from sugar rather than suggesting something like that.

Although they are effective for weight loss purposes but am not in the favor because they really effect very badly after leaving them. Perhaps we should lose weight in natural ways.
I absolutely love this blog. I’m doing my morning weight loss blog reading and found your blog.
I don’t think I’ve been here before, but I’ll be back. Cool blog and thanks for the info.
