Some books I've read say increased portions are a symptom of something else. E.g. Inability to feel satisfied.

- bunderbunder 8y agoSo, tying it back to artificial sweeteners, there's a fair bit of research to suggest that consuming them causes you to feel more hungry.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoThe real question is, are they still preferable to sugar anyway given the lower caloric value? My experience is yes.
- com2kid 8y agoJust the taste something sweet spikes insulin levels[1], and as you said at least some artificial sweeteners don't cause fullness[2] (I am amused that is not the major finding there, heh). It makes sense, the body releases insulin in expectation of nutrition coming in, but no nutrition comes in, so the end result is feeling hungrier than before.
