Increasing my sugar intake helps me exercise more and be healthier overall. Fake sugars are worse than sugar being added to food. They are not the solution to that. Anyone bringing that up is strawmanning. (I bring it up only because many posters are seemingly saying, hey at least fake sugar combats extra added sugar in bread and stuff). Food with added sugar - at least it will give you energy to go do something with. Whether or not you do is up to you. Fake sugars mislead your body into thinking it just acquired energy to go do things. It has no good longterm purpose. Being low energy and hungry and ingesting fake sugar to stave off that feeling is misunderstanding the problem. That's my experience over 7 years of trying to lose weight and be healthy long term. I had a diet soda/fake sugar phase in there and it worked for a few years maybe, but I am better off overall abandoning that whole idea.
