Make sure you stay away from diet drinks.
Aspartame is poison.

Aspartame is poison.
At the moment I feel like a heroin addict (or what I assume one feels like) coming off cold turkey.
A week ago I decided to give up all sugar, well refined sugar and sweets and I am struggling.
I can't think straight, I am agrevated and short tempered and feel terribly void and constantly hungry which nothing can fill.
Kill me, Kill me now!!!
If anyone else is thinking of doing this, I urge you not too.
So GD what's your addiction?
I did a similar thing, over weekends I'd consume 3000 - 4000 extra calories in the form of junk food like crisps, doritos, chocolate bars etc. Now that I've cut that out I've lost about 15Kg over the past few months.

TL;DR
Conclusion
Aspartame is a highly studied food additive with decades of research showing that it is safe for human consumption. As expected, the research is complex making it possible to cherry pick and misinterpret individual studies in order to fear monger. But the totality of research, reviewed by many independent agencies and expert panels, supports the safety of aspartame.
A conspiracy to hide the risks of aspartame, however, remains a popular internet urban legend that will likely not disappear anytime soon.
I decided to drink only water, to be a little healthier.
About a week in, haven't noticed any cravings or anything.
I don't think I'm addicted to anything![]()
