Check out videos by Dr.Robert Lustig on fructose. They changed my health tremendously. I lost 25 pounds in about 6 months solely by cutting out sugar. I didn't even know I had 25 pounds to lose and was not "fat" at all.
I didn't even cut out carbs just sucrose (and therefore fructose).
interesting. i read Dr. Fung's book about carbs and fasting. Really helped my diet back a few years ago.
His theory is that it is actually the fructose (one half of the sucrose molecule) that causes all of the problems because the body doesn't have the enzymes to deal with it well. The simplest way to cut fructose is to cut sucrose.
It's not the most fun diet because sucrose is added to almost EVERYTHING, but it works and has lots of great benefits for diabetes (he is an endocrinologist).
going to check it out for sure. thanks!
If you don't want to wait to read just type in Robert Lustig on youtube and his stuff will pop up. He also did a show with Andrew Huberman
