Sugar alternatives in milk tea?

please your experience with tea, do you buy them & why? challenges your facing? you drink tea for medical reasons, relaxation, taste? price range etc..

Had a regular yearly check up 2 weeks back and found that I'm diabetic. Both my parents are diabetic and I assumed I'll be as well at some point in my life as an inheritance from them but never thought this early. I did not tell this to anyone, not even my wife. Took me 2 weeks to get hold of myself and let the feeling sink in. Started making changes to my life style since yesterday and started working out as well. Today is Day-2.

You care about your health after 25? You need to cut on sugar in your coffee and start with a sugarfree. This stuff is addictive. The taste of sugar looses to it after a while of using it. It doesn’t get absorbed by your intestines but it still is going to harm you in someways. There’s research already that it changes how much and when your body produces insulin making you not loose weight and having some long term impacts. Diabetes with long term use might just be on the table or whatever else that’s uncovered.

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into? Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

Which one you prefer ? 😅 I am a Tea Lover ❤️

I have read a few posts here of people getting diagnosed with diabetes, and one thing that comes with this disease is the mandate of cutting down on sugar. Although I am not diabetic, I had to cut out sugar from my life when I was in my mid-teens because I had severe acne. So I thought to share my experience as it is almost a decade now since I first started. I will do this in QnA format. 1. Why did I cut out sugar? I had severe acne and sugar is considered as a cause. 2. What was my relation with sugar before this? I actually was in love with sweets and chocolates. I would eat them as much as I wanted. I also had sugar daily with milk, and sometimes with curd. 3. How did I cut down on sugar? I immediately stopped adding sugar in my milk and curd, and stopped eating chocolates. I remember that I had only 1 cube of chocolate in the first 3 years. 4. Did I completely stop sugar intake in the beginning? Na, I used to add bournvita in milk (smh, this was not thought through). I also had sweets, but in minimal quantity. 5. Was it easy? Somewhat yes, as it was an order from my mother so it was more of will power and discipline for me. 6. What is my sugar intake now? I indulge in sweets from time to time, in limited quantity, but other than this I don't eat much sugar. I also have it once when I have the craving for it, an indication that I am low on sugar, which happens every 4-6 months. I eat chocolate 0-2 times in a year, this too depends on the craving. 7. What are the changes that this move brought on in my life? - I am more disciplined with my food. - I liberally say no to sweets. I only eat them when I want to. - I am more in tune with my body's needs. I listen and follow. - I actually drink milk as is; I don't add anything to it. Boil it, drink it. - I can only eat mildly sweet things, a tad bit more sweet and I am going to feel sick. All in all, I don't miss sugar. If you ask me to go back to how I used to be with sugar, I can't. My body has adapted to this change so much that I neither physically nor mentally can do it. I have built a perfectly normal life without it.

How do you not hate yourself? What value does this syrup add to your tastebuds? We as a society despise you and wish to ostracize you (with all due respect) I would rather drink vim liquid soap Their ads are also equally dumb I know its a personal choice but bhai wtf
