For some reason this reminds me of "Breaking Bad". :-D
Not nice to fool your body though. When your body wants a sweet it
wants it for a reason and using a sugar substitute has been found not to
be a good idea. The reason westerners like to have a dessert after a
meal is the same reason that Indians like to have saunf. And also tied
in with the idea that you should wait a half hour before swimming.
TM talks about the autonomic nervous system but not very deeply. The
sympathetic system is for activity and parasympathetic for digestion and
sleep. Basically meditation is supposed to calm the sympathetic
system. Eating a sweet relaxes the digestive tact and helps calm the
sympathetic system so the parasympathetic can do it's work. And
sometimes when the stomach is busy digesting the brain gets short
changed for blood sugar and screams!
The problem is trying to be a vegetarian when your body needs you to be
a meat and potatoes person. As usual "mass nutrition" is not a good
policy to follow and it is as "dumb as rocks".
I use several metabolic concepts along with ayurveda such as Chinese yin
and yang (simpler than ayurveda) and metabolic typing. Here's a good
overview about metabolic typing. And BTW, it's not the brainchild of
Bill Wolcott who took over the program from Dr. Kelley.

My current indulgence is almond butter with some drops of stevia.
Yummy but seems to be kind of a sleeping potion!

For me, the problem isn't the sugar or the fat, but rather the starch,
which is ultimately just pure glucose. Back in 2003, when I was
gorging myself to 190+ pounds, my favorite snack binge was an entire
box of Newman-Os, Paul Newman's organic version of Oreos, which I
would inhale in a matter of minutes. I'd then sleep off the blood
sugar crash and have a few dried dates when I woke up. It was an
endless blood sugar roller coaster. But, I can eat a pint of ice cream
and be completely satisfied and suffer no blood sugar issues. To crash
my blood sugar on ice cream, I have to eat a quart or more, and ice
cream just doesn't have that binge driving effect on me that starchy
snack foods do.
