our alcohols actually making you fat so recently on my show I had a lady call in and she wanted to know why she gained four pounds of weight after she did a keto meal she cooked for her family I think it might have been Thanksgiving she had the meal and then she had the chocolate chip cookies and she was using alternative sweeteners sugar alcohols but she still gained four pounds so let’s talk about that for those of you that are new to sugar alcohols well this would be an example of we throw tall Zala tall there’s a whole bunch of them I’ll put a link down below for more information but these are compounds that are sweet and they’re derived from sugar but they don’t have the same response as sugar they don’t spike insulin and they also have less calories for example sugar calories has four calories per gram these have one point three to two possibly three calories per gram so the three big side effects from sugar alcohols are bloating gas in diarrhea these usually happen when you consume excessive amounts anything over like 25 grams but some people are very sensitive to them and if they just consume like 10 grams they can get diarrhea so there’s another difference between sugar and sugar alcohol sugar gets absorbed in the small intestines a hundred percent sugar alcohols do not get absorbed in the small intestine now think about you have 23 feet of tubing or piping or plumbing before it hits the large intestine so sugar alcohols are dealt with by microbes in the large intestines then that’s where you may have a reaction if you consume too much so you have this compound this sugar alcohol that is absorbed slowly through the system but the microbes can ferment it and that’s where you get the gas okay so there’s the microbes are trying to eat it and they can start producing some of the gas and create a lot of water attention this is before the diarrhea okay so when you gain weight when you consume foods with sugar alcohols its water weight it’s not actual fat other people can consume them in smaller amounts but if you’re finding that you continue to gain weight every time you do this you’re gonna have to avoid them so it’s really a situation you’re gonna have to test the waters some people can consume these without any water attention they can still lose weight other people cannot but the big point I want to bring up about sugar alcohols is that you’re not gaining fat you are retaining fluid completely different situation so all of these desserts made with sugar alcohols are really meant to help you in the transition coming off sugar there’s gonna be a point when you don’t need them anymore because you have no more cravings so from my reality using sugar alcohols is really a temporary thing it’s not a long-term solution alright thanks for watching hey guys I’m not sure if you have my app yet dr.
