  • The book was probably Sweet Poison by David Gillespie. He is a lawyer & put together research on sugar. Basically sugar and sugar complexes. Glucose is good. It is what we use for energy. We have feedback for hunger. Fructose is bad. Highly addictive and has different metabolic pathway & has no hunger feedback. Sucrose…

  • Took a few days. My fasting blood sugar is pretty high so that's why I am doing the 5:2 diet to see if i can reduce it. That's one of the measured effects of fasting type diets. And at the same time, based on Sweet Poison, I avoid all products that contains fructose. I.e. sucrose, honey, stevia, juice. Fresh fruit fine.…

  • 5:2. Never dieted but soon to be 60 & 6 stubborn kg over my desired weight even though i go to the gym & eat food, not food products. Grandson asked me why i had a fat tummy!

    in What diet method are you using and Is it working for you? Comment by Fairlieboy April 2013
  • That is the issue. People have to know & control their TDEE. When they don't, then eating sugar in foods bypasses their self regulation of food intake. It's ok for mfp members - they already know. But why did they get to needing to track TDEE? BTW. Coke has sucrose (fructose+glucose) , beer has maltose (glucose) so beer is…

  • Sugar doesn't make you fat? Read David Gillespie Sweet Poison or check out Facebook Sweet Poison & the most recent science and the short of it is sugar (the fructose part of sucrose) does. Glucose has hunger feedback loops & is metabolized fine. Fructose has no feedback for hunger, is more addictive than cocaine & is…

  • I read the book from David Gillespie Sweet Poison. After 4 weeks ago. I did biochemistry 30 years ago & he nailed it for me. Cold turkey on all sucrose & fructose. That includes honey. Even gave up my dried fruit muesli. Had one micro Easter egg, but that book did it for me. 180,000 deaths a year due to sugar. See Facebook…

  • Move to the 5+2 plan. Check out the group on MFP. Provides that higher protein. Download these 2 books from Amazon. Eat Fast diet from Michael Mosley & Mimi Spenser. Also check out David Gillespie with Sweet Poison. That will put you right off sucrose & fructose. If you use uncle Google you can pick up lots of interviews…
    in Lost 3 stone since xmas now stuck, can anyone help? Comment by Fairlieboy April 2013
  • Read Sweet Poison by David Gillespie. Then you realize that sugar or the fructose component is actually more addictive than cocaine so it may not be depression at all. It is physical not psychological. Fructose has no hunger feedback loop and has the physical addiction so one chocolate is never enough. Read the book & see…
