No more artifical sweetener? No more headaches? No more painkillers?
Today is workout out day! YAY! This new workout (Phase 2 of PFD) is freaking awesome…I love it! It’s challenging, it’s hard, I get looks when I do my “heavy weights” 
, and I drip sweat as if I have just done cardio…..loooove it! I’ll head to the gym later on after my appointment.

Today is day 3 of no artifical sweetener. Yesterday I felt like crap. I felt nauseous and had a headache that would come and go…it sucked. I am doing this cold turkey and if I continue with these symptoms then I will have to ease off it. For someone who has suffered from headaches pretty daily since age 8 (and yes I was consuming artifical sweetener then too) I hate having them and would love to see if it’s a contribution. Wouldn’t it be great to get rid of the articfical sweetners, have my headaches go away and as result stop taking the handfuls of pain killers I take?! Sounds like a little bit of heaven to me!
And as a P.S. here is a comparison shot of my butt….I think i see a bit of difference…maybe not so wide.

Hey Leanne, 2 wks or less is usually not enough time to see much visible progress. But I do see it in your pics. Way. To. Go. Keep charging!
On the headaches, what’s up with your caffeine consumption, as well? Also, I find that I get headaches on weekends sometimes, as I may forget to drink as much water as I do M-F. I drink a ton of H2O. If your body gets slightly dehydrated from insufficient water (or the caffeine…..it’s a diuretic), you get headaches.

Hey Al! Thanks! Well my caffeine has gone down too b/c of the aspartame. I would drink A LOT of DP (Diet Pepsi). Right now I am only getting caffeine in my coffee in the morning. That could be contributing to the headaches too.
Bob- joint pain is associated with artifical sweetners…I found that out when reading up on them. I am cutting them out of my diet to see if it helps with some stubborn fat that won’t go away…

Hey Leanne, Who’s taken pictures of your butt?lol. You can seen a difference. Artifical Sweetners scare the sh*t out of me. I’m not sure if I’m hooked on Caffiene or aspartame? Headaches come and go. Tried several times to quick. Good luck.

Glad to see that cutting the artificial sweeteners is having positive effects. I am hopeful that the headaches will soon subside. That would be awesome.

No more headaches or pain pills would be awesome. I don’t know if I can give up my crystal lite peach tea, keep us posted on how you feel and the changes. Keep the focus.

everything in its natural form is much better for you…even sugar…so i have my coffee with cream..i cant drink it without but than i dont drink much after the morning,,,
some tidbits i learned from my nuitrition class.
Saccharin carries a cancer hazard in mice and rats..some controversy attached to that…People who believe aspertame causes headaches should use a different sweetener.

it could be just the lack of caffeine there body is used to. So try a different approach and test that theory and see if it really is the aspertame..glad to see your trying things without the artificial sweetners…and keep up the hard work .yes there are changes occuring in your photos.

fhdrama - LOL my autotimer on my camera is taking pictures of my butt!
I won’t lie, it’s tough to get rid of the diet pop…but I will.
jrahlfs & Ledford - here’s to no more headaches!! I like Crystal Lite Iced Raspberry but it has Aspartame in it
suzy - I agree! When I have my oatmeal I USED to put splenda in it … now I add a bit of brown sugar. It has finally sunken in that the real stuff is a real food and my body will recognize and can process it. The artifical stuff, it doesn’t know what to do with it so it just stores it!
