Hi Saturday Morning Fan,
Have you ever tried putting artificial sweeteners in your bottle? How did it make you feel?
If you're anything like me, the sweetness of my drinks made me drink less, making me more susceptible to bonking and/or dehydration.
This is because when we taste something sweet, our body considers that a sign of carbohydrates entering our system. But since artificial sweeteners are non-caloric, it's a false positive. This sometimes serves to harm our performance because our intake goes down.
Interested in a deeper dive on the affects of artificial sweeteners like Stevia on performance? Check out the article I just wrote below.
