I am needing to lose weight. What are some alternatives to sugar?
gpt
When trying to lose weight there are a few alternatives to sugar:  

1. Artificial Sweeteners - These are FDA regulated and are mostly created using various chemicals in labs. Examples of these sweeteners are aspartame and saccharin.
2. Sugar Alcohols - These are often used in candies and processed food and are also created in labs. Examples of these sweeteners are Erythritol and Xylitol.
3. Novel Sweeteners - These are fairly new types of sweeteners and are made from natural sources such as plants.  Examples of these sweeteners are monk fruit and Stevia.
