How Semaglutide and Sinless Syrups Changed My Relationship With Sugar
Midlife Metabolism
Stress is a nasty adversary.
Between chasing professional achievement, managing a household, and raising kids, I had developed some truly unhealthy habits.
Eating and drinking was once a celebration. I enjoyed takeout and party food and cocktails regularly with friends, colleagues, and family.
Something good happened? Let's celebrate with food!
Holiday season? Let's grab a drink!
Sometime in my 40s, I noticed that when I ate or drank certain foods I'd feel terrible. My gut would blow up like I'd swallowed a basketball. I tested for allergies but the results were inconclusive, indicating a "sensitivity."
I stopped eating gluten, then dairy, but my waistline kept expanding.
A doctor delivered a hard 'pill' to swallow... wine was not a middle-aged woman's friend. Stressed-out, midlife metabolism stored that sugar as fat for emergency use.
And where was my body storing that sugar? All around my vital organs.
Trying Semaglutide
By the time I made the decision to try semaglutide, I had already changed what I ate, how much, and how often. I had practically eliminated all alcohol, but especially wine.
The problem was I didn't look any different.
Plus, food cravings were intense. I felt hungry ALL the time.
The first thing I noticed on semaglutide was that my hunger and cravings no longer were in charge. I didn't go from 0 to hangry in 5 seconds.
I could make smarter choices about ingredients because there was no longer a 5-alarm fire in my brain telling me to EAT! NOW!
I also just ate less overall because I finally felt full. My digestion improved too. Food was back to being a choice not an imperative. And - hooray! I was making great choices.
For the first time in a long time, my metabolism wasn't betraying me.
Lessons in Losing (Weight)
I did lose weight, slowly.
In that initial semaglutide appointment, I learned that I need fewer calories as I aged. I don't know why that hadn't clicked for me before. I was still eating like a 30 year old.
The clinician also said that the kind of calories I consumed mattered more than ever.
Protein, for example, would help me fight muscle loss. So, in order to eat more protein and eat fewer calories, something had to give.
That something was sugar.
One of the ways I cut my overall calories was to delay or skip breakfast. I had friends who swore by "intermittent fasting," but I had never been able to do it successfully. My unbearable cravings made me eat first thing out of bed.
Once my out-of-whack hunger cues were corrected, skipping breakfast became a lot easier.
I was not, however, giving up coffee.
So, I started using Sinless Syrups in my morning cup so I could get my caffeine without calories. My all-time favorite is Cinnamon Dolce. I add a splash to my instant coffee and then do the New York Times Spellling Bee to wake my brain up before work.
The Big Picture - Sugar, Semaglutide, and Sinless Syrups
The experts say that successful weightloss is a lifestyle change, not a diet, right? That was definitely true for me and semaglutide medication helped me get there.
Semaglutide, like any major medication or hormone, isn't for everyone. I made the choice to go that route and had a good experience.
I have not given up any foods, not even sugar, entirely.
I still use Sinless Syrups alone in my coffee Monday through Friday, and treat myself to cream on the weekends. Sinless Syrups play a tasty part in how I drink fewer calories and less sugar in particular, every day.
For me, the best part is that I no longer have to think about the changes I made to eat less sugar. This is just how I live now.
