EP442: Is Diet Coke making me hungry?

Have you ever noticed that when you have a Diet Coke a few hours after a meal, you suddenly start feeling a little hungry? Well, I’ve been noticing this for a while, so thought I’ll test it out!

*Disclaimer:* I’m not a diabetic. Results are different for each person, especially for diabetics. My own results vary a little each day. Glycemic load, calories, quality & quantity of food, all of these matter. Finally, I am not a doctor & this is not medical advice.
.
*How to see these results:* Best is to see trends & develop an intuition on how to eat different foods so that sugar spikes can be lowered. Don’t focus on absolute numbers. Ideally, you should do tests on yourself to get the most personalised results.
.
*Why I do these experiments:* Prevention is the best medicine! Research today shows that lower and fewer sugar spikes in a day reduces the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease & PCOS.

1. Ideal post meal blood sugar increase = 30mg/dl or lower
2. Eat next meal when the previous increase has flattened
