Wait till you try coke for the first time kek
I've found that zoomers prefer dr pepper
Sweeteners fuck with your gut biome and that can cause depression so that's probably why
I used to be of the same opinion but maybe the healthiest solution is to get your insulin resistance to low you get the same rush from complex carbs? If not that then berries and fruit (for me it was watermelon).
Used to think this was bullshit but it's real, gives you cravings too and acts as a stimulant making it harder to fall asleep. I still drink them but less and less. They also fuck with your teeth a lot. Wish there was a good quality green tea (or equally healthy alternative) that had less caffeine, since coke zero is perfect for caffeine and green tea is perfect for skin and all that other stuff but has way too much caffeine.
These, mix it in your oatmeal and you're golden.
drink some matcha variant and just use less of the powder?
I have some matcha I got from Japan, very good stuff but it's even more potent. Maybe I could try doing a cold brew of that stuff and dilute it, tried that before with oolong and it tastes fantastic but was again too caffeinated. It's hard after I gave up caffeine for over a year (and just did speed lmao) now everything hits like speed; I've become oversensitized.
Yes I agree but make sure you do it with a meal (no sugar-only snacks) that'll keep your sense of hunger true. Like sugary desserts are cool because you eat them right after a meal.
>acts as a stimulant
stopped consuming sweeteners because I stopped craving sweets but if this is true I'll hop back on it
Now you know why fatties try to eat their depression away, or why people turn into crackheads and meth heads
And it works in the short term. But then after a little while you can’t function without it, while it slowly destroys your health and life
so it's either a Sisyphus-tier struggle or rope
sugar is literally a superfood bro, don't listen to the bald ketofags telling you that sugar is poison
Try honey bro, raw is better.
Its pretty god tier with tea as well
To continue on this because I forgot, if there are apiaries in your area on you can find it online, raw honey can have different tinges of flavor in it. Depends on the plantlife near the hive; most comercial honey is a mix of 90% cheap diluted chinese honey with a bit of local mixed in.
I have found:
Chestnut honey is more like the usual one, if darker and smokier, it is your classic warm flavor with a bit of acidic.
Wildflower honey is on the sweeter side
Almond honey is pretty bland but has godly aftertaste, excellent for pancakes and breakfast.
Lemon tree honey is very sweet with a strong sour aftertaste
Rant over
>most comercial honey is a mix of 90% cheap diluted chinese honey with a bit of local mixed in.
good thing that I don't live in america
lol is this true?
Every honey here in Europe is bio certified and 100% raw and affordable and produced locally
there's even wild honey variants
kek America is becoming more and more of a meme every day
Bro check your honey, we had a legal battle here in Spain because supermarkets tag shit as "made in Spain" while its mostly chinese honey mixed with local. I only buy from a town close by where they have apiaries
I got some from a co-worker a while back, no labels or anything. Origin is in a 30km radius probably. Feels good, lasts forever too since I use in moderation.
t. euro
Just say fuck it and have a teaspoon of sugar in your tea bro. People are becoming way too obsessive about perfecting their diets these days, and the stress-reducing nature of allowing yourself these simple pleasures is most likely better for you than the stress and guilt of cycling between periods of willpower and failure, with all the guilt that comes with it.
If you're a person who can happily cut out added sugars completely without ever thinking about it, getting cravings or ending up back on sugars at some point, then go ahead and live happily without them. But if you're just someone who wishes you could be like that, it might be better to just allow it.
This sentiment is unlikely to be recieved positively on any "health-focused" parts of the internet, which are all full of people with irrational obsessiveness about health and diet.
