Do sugar alcohols cause weight gain?

Bro, actually they do have some calories, even if they say sugar-free. If u keep eating those diet chocolates all day, weight will definitely go up. Just eat normal stuff in control, no need to overcomplicate things with these chemical names.

Honestly, even I am very confused about this. I started eating those sugar-free sweets thinking they are safe, but my weight is just stuck and I feel so bloated. Has anyone else noticed their stomach swelling up after having these artificial sweeteners?

Technically, sugar alcohols have fewer calories than regular sugar, but they still contain some. Overconsuming them can easily lead to a calorie surplus and weight gain, plus digestive issues. It is always best to consult a certified nutritionist or doctor who knows your body type.

For my high blood pressure, my doc told me to focus on reducing overall salt and processed food instead of worrying only about sugar substitutes. Weight control is more about daily brisk walking and eating light dinner. Go for a routine checkup and let your physician guide you on diet.
