Your first diet book, The Carb Nite Solution,
describes bulk carbohydrate sweeteners like fructose as bad; does
the same hold true for back-loading? And what about fruit?
A: Yes and no. Ideally, you don’t want to use Coca-
Cola® and Twinkies for you back-loading meals because they
have high amounts of fructose (either bound as sucrose or in
high-fructose corn syrup). When the body is in an energy
surplus, fructose can bypass the rate-limiting steps that prevent
glucose from creating infinite levels of fat.
That means fructose can create unlimited amounts of fat.
