Me: On and off Peat for a little over a year
Build: Tall and pretty thin for entire life, in mid 30s now. Since Peat -> pudgy waistline/gained 15 lbs. I also stopped smoking half a year ago which also probably contributed to the waistline as I'm generally hungrier.
Fructose seems to make me hungry all the time, similar to the effect of alcohol. Lustig says that fructose is treated by the human body the exact same way that alcohol is treated. It is completely processed by the liver and is not sent to any cells. So in effect it appears to be treated like a toxin. Lots of you are far more versed in the field of nutrition than I am. I would appreciate any explanations here as to why Lustig is wrong, if he is, on his theory that fructose is a toxin.
