Cream of Rice Question ?

[BigMike305]

This might be a dumb question, but I was hoping someone more knowledgeable could help me understand

I’m asking simply because I have yet to find an artificial sweetener that doesn’t taste like shit… or tear up my gut

I’ve seen a lot of flavored cream of rice have artificial sweeteners. If you’re eating cream of rice, you’re eating it as a carb source ….

So why not just use sugar, honey or maple syrup as a sweetener in the product since that would just increase the carb content ?

Thanks

Why?

Because I pay for convenience and taste

First off, you don't need flavored COR as you can make good recipes yourself. As far as why not add sugar, honey or maple syrup? You certainly can but when in a deficit you don't necessarily want those extra calories when you can use stevia or the like. In a deficit I want my carbs coming from the rice not sugar. If in a surplus that's different.

I use my favorite protein powder to mix with it. I buy Elev8 cream of rice if I want flavored.

sure you can use those as sweetners. just most dont respond well to too much sugar ive found especially if youre blasting.
anyone who relies on a ton of sugar for quick carbs tends to get tons of acne and BG goes wonky pretty quick.

also theres more carbs then cor so you can just skip it if you dont like that shit lol

pasta, jasmine rice, mashed potatoes, bread, dried fruits.
i like cor and like using tons of artificial sweeteners, but if i coudlnt have it id just double down on instant mash/minute rice/bagels/sourdough/fruits/dried fruits/and low sugar cereals.

I am the same with artificial sweeteners they taste like crap. If i need sweet i just grab my honey or brown sugar. I don't make sweet things a part of my usual diet so the once in a while extra calories is not an issue. And i don't get any craving that way either.
