Artificial Sweeteners??

Artificial sweeteners actually make you hungry! Your brain gets confused because you are eating or drinking a sweet thing which should be accompanied by calories, but then the calories are not there. Your brain is like "What?? Where are they?" and it wants those calories so it turns your hunger on so you will eat to provide those calories.

Also, the chemical make-up of artificial sweeteners messes with our bodies and interferes with our hormone levels. When are hormones are not balanced where they should be, it can affect a number of things, including several diseases and your weight.
