Sugar should be a controlled substance....!

10. I'm glad to hear this!

I watched Lustig's YouTube video, and then I bought his new book on kindle, "Fat Chance". I'm still reading it. I was wondering if I had to cut out all sugar and all refined carbs to lose weight, or would just cutting out the sugar do it.

I have been cutting way down on sugar, and getting over the addiction. I understand about refined carbs like bread or potatoes giving you a glucose spike and hunger, but they don't have fructose, so theoretically if I eat them with vegetables and things, wouldn't that slow it down?

How long did it take to lose the 100? I have lost 60 over the years and have a very stubborn 30 lbs to go!

Also, do you eat artificial sweeteners? Lustig wonders in his book whether they also cause insulin to rise and hunger.
