 Today we're going to talk about sweets, not sweet foods necessarily but actually the sweet sensation in your mouth and what it does to your body. Either njroot22.com with another low carb keto carnivore vlog and today we're going to talk about sweets and this is my experience, this is anecdotal, it's nothing I read, there's no studies about it, it's about the feeling of hunger, appetite, food and sweets in particular. We've been low carb for a long time and it's been a long journey, we haven't made, we're not fitness freaks, we're just losing weight or staying steady for a very very long time and I'm down to my last 20 pounds basically, I'm guessing in a year I will be at my goal weight but I had a little hiccup over the last couple weeks, I haven't gained any weight but I have definitely been, I haven't lost any despite it being summer and I'm a lot more active than I was during the winter. It's with the sweet sensation and a couple weeks ago we reviewed the rebel ice cream which is a full fat ice cream that has pretty much zero sugar and minimal carbs between like five and eight grams of carbs per pint, you can eat the entire pint of ice cream and there's really no blood sugar level raising at all, however it's very sweet, ice cream, sweet tasting, there's erythritol and monk fruit in it and for what we know now I guess science is telling us that this sweetener does not raise your blood sugar level and I don't think it does because you don't gain weight and you're not, I don't think you can get knocked out of ketosis if you are in it and you have a few scoops of this low carb ice cream, however it's the sweet sensation in general, now I think my conclusion is that I'm never going to, I don't want to put anything sweet in my mouth and that includes even the low glycemic index fruits like strawberries, blueberries or blackberries because something happens that I've noticed, now I didn't eat anything sweet let's say for six straight months and I felt fine every single day even with drinking alcohol, I felt fine, I'm not drinking alcohol now this is some just iced tea, one of my favorite drinks, brewed iced tea, anyway I never felt peckish, I never went to the closet to snack, my hunger came about slowly and when I got satiated eating meat I never got bloated or felt funny or the hunger was a non-issue, it was a distant thought, I never had a problem and since I started dabbling with this low carb ice cream something happened to me and it's specifically regarding my hunger, I find myself feeling hungry and I think putting the sweet sensation in your mouth and eating it triggers some sort of response in your body even though the blood may not be getting the sugar level, I think it's triggering some sort of response in my body, some hormonal response, I don't know maybe somebody who is watching this does know but I think just the sensation, my body, it tastes sweet to my tongue so my body thinks it's sweet obviously if I say it tastes sweet and putting that sweetness in my mouth I think made me want to eat, like the last couple days I was snacking non-stop, I mean they were all low carb snacks, I would have a piece of cheese, I would have a strip of bacon but I was going through the refrigerator a lot more and I was thinking about and I felt the hunger and the only correlation I can make is that I was having sweet foods and the same thing with ice cream, I kept going back for it, I'd eat a little bit and I'd want a little more and a little more so I don't like that feeling because I felt almost like compared to how I felt for let's say the last six months I felt a little bit out of control, I didn't like that feeling, feeling hungry sucks honestly unless you work like there's different kinds of hunger, like if I bust my ass for eight hours doing landscaping or whatever work I do around here, the next morning I might be hungry and that's my body telling me, I can tell the difference, my body says feed me I need fuel, I need to rebuild and so on but the post-sweet eating hunger is way different, it's mindless, I can't explain it and the only thing I can suggest is that when the sweets enter my mouth it sends some sort of response to the body and it makes it want to eat non-stop so I have one more pint of this rebel ice cream left and I'm going to eat it, it's like my last hit as a druggy before I go into rehab, I'm not going to eat anything sweet for the rest of the summer, nothing, nothing, I was at the store and this hunger thing made me buy some dark chocolate covered almonds for two dollars over at TJ Maxx and I don't like it, I don't want to have that temptation anymore so after this pint of ice cream is gone we're done and we're not even going to eat any fruit, nothing sweet for the rest of the summer or the summer hasn't started yet, maybe in a week or so the summer will start or maybe it's summer now by the time I publish this but the sweets do something, the sweet tastes do something to your body, try yourself if you've been like keto, eat some of this zero carb ice cream or low carb ice cream and try it, you'll see it changes your chemical composition of something in your body and it's not good so avoid all sweets.
