Yep, I mix a half lemon with water 2 to 3x per day. Drinking this with your meal will decrease the Insulin spike.

Re: Sugar substitutes
I have cut my sugar down by over 95% in the last 2 years...
But even cookies and muffins... they are just bad! I have ordered Berberine and whenever i can't fight off the temptation i will use it.
Does anyone know when it is best to take it, when you are going to have something very sugary?
Before / with / after? All 3?
I would appreciate any input.

Re: Sugar substitutes
Honestly, I would take it right before or with the sugary food, or as soon as you can thereafter.canadahealthy wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 10:40 am I have cut my sugar down by over 95% in the last 2 years...

I am really trying to just stop sugar. I remember a bunch of us talking a couple years ago - it is just evil. Like I used to open a box of OREA cookies and have 5-6 at a time. Now I don't even want them in my house. I am lucky i didn't gert diabetes in my 20s or early 30s... I did switch to diet drinks - which are also evil but better than regular Coke or Pepsi.
Now it's fuzzy water with Soda Stream. Worse thing i'll get is burps!

Ahh fuzzy water, that's what Jordan Peterson uses to keep his lean figure.
Yes people don't realize that candy, bars, muffins, cake - and soft drinks are making us sick with diabetes and probably avoidable illnesses.

Re: Sugar substitutes
I would take it on the days that you have a high carb meal. If you are eating more than 100g of carbs daily then I would take it daily.

I am trying it again with a pinch of lemon juice. I have to get over the sweet tooth.
Anything is better than sugar or simple carbs.
Re: Sugar substitutes
I eat more sweets when I'm stressed. I need a better go to for stress, since not having stress is not very likely.
