Dr. Lustig explains that glucose and fructose both measure four calories per gram in a bomb calorimeter, but your body is not a bomb calorimeter. The real issue isn't the calories, it's the insulin response those calories cause. ➡️ No Weight Gain Without Insulin Insulin is the energy storage hormone. When Dr. Lustig's team suppressed insulin in children with hypothalamic tumors, they lost weight and started exercising spontaneously, and the lower the insulin, the more weight they lost. ➡️ Why a Calorie Is Not a Calorie Obesity and diabetes don't always go together: Iceland, Mongolia and Micronesia are obese without being diabetic, while India, Pakistan and China are diabetic without being obese. India and China are thinner than the US, yet have a higher diabetes prevalence. ➡️ Your Liver Is Where It Starts The sugar you consume goes to the liver, which turns the excess into liver fat, becomes insulin resistant and forces the pancreas to make extra insulin. Dr. Lustig puts the upper limit at about six teaspoons of added sugar a day. ➡️ The 4 PM Cookie That Caused Weight Gain Dr. Lustig gained a lot of weight at UCSF from a daily chocolate chip cookie during his afternoon energy crash. Once he stopped, his energy stayed constant throughout the day, so plan for the slump with nuts, a boiled egg or whole fruit. ➡️ Real Food Doesn't Need a Label With 45% of Americans and 25% of children now having fatty liver disease, and about three out of four grocery items containing added sugar, Dr. Lustig says to treat any food label as a warning label. Shop for foods without labels and read the ingredients when you do buy packaged food. ➡️ What 10 Days Without Sugar Can Do When Dr. Lustig's team cut added sugar from children's diets for ten days, blood pressure, blood glucose and insulin all went down, even though their weight and calories stayed the same. The first five days brought sugar withdrawal, then the kids concentrated better and were less irritable. ➡️ Dr. Lustig's Insulin Approach Keep your insulin down by not letting it go up: cut sugar and refined carbohydrates without fiber, choose less processed food that doesn't need a label, plan for the afternoon slump, and stick with small, consistent swaps day after day.
