I know a bit about carbohydrate (CHO) metabolism. Years of excess CHO intake, whether it be from glucose, fructose, or grain, actually results in non-responsive insulin receptors. People who discipline themselves (this is self-discipline), as you suggested, by avoiding excess CHO consumption, do not have problems with glucose regulation. Most people simply consume way too many CHOs in the form of grain, sugar, fructose or whatever. If it comes in a box or a bag, don’t eat it.

You’re preaching to the choir.
So many on here bash overweight people for “lack of self control”, when they are following the low fat, high carb diets recommended by “experts” like Dr Oz, for example.
