Hello! I searched the internet for a similar case, but unfortunately I found nothing. The problem is that I love honey a hell of a lot. Today my mother had taken a honey substitute, which says it contains 95% fructose-glucose syrup and 5% honey. I was really hungry and just wanted to try it, but I don't know what happened to me and I ate the whole jar. It was 400 g. In 100 g it was written that it contains 350 calories and 80 g of sugar, that is, I took 1400 calories and 320 grams of sugar. Will something happen to me? Basically, I've always loved to eat honey, but this has never happened to me. Is it possible for me to gain weight or something happens to my insulin in my blood? And what could be the reason that I had such an appetite for sweets? Basically I'm not overweight - I'm 165 tall and I'm 52 kg, I'm 18 years old. Please publish my story because I'm terribly scared.

Yes, it can happen to you. And the reason for this appetite was that you were hungry ... You said it yourself. I'm not a doctor, but you'll have to visit and be sure.
I suggest you share this story with LL and get you tested for blood sugar and insulin. With over insulin, there is a beastly hunger for sugar. I just don't care what you did. Of course it's very harmful, it's a little complicated to explain the mechanism here. Don't buy such pseudo honey at all, honey at all, since you can't control yourself. The benefits of honey are a bit praised, compared to the harm it can have. More precisely, a spoonful or two is not a problem, but eating it yogurt is a big problem
For once, I don't think anything could happen to you. And why do you buy artificial "honey"? The real one, in addition to being useful, contains much more fructose than glucose.
It will definitely happen to you "something" if you continue to eat like this, but it will not be immediately, but it may take years. Over time, you will become resistant to your own insulin, because to get rid of so much sugar in your body will secrete huge amounts of insulin. Fructose in honey and the substitutes that your mother buys is even worse than sucrose - goes DIRECTLY to direction of the liver and makes it obese, and sucrose at least through insulin is cleansed and becomes adipose tissue (fat does not come from eating fat, and from the sweet - isnulin makes sucrose adipose tissue!). You can even NOW be weak and have an obese liver, which eventually refuses to work - such a problem have, for example, alcoholics, because much of the alcohol becomes fructose and goes to the liver during processing. Fructose is also very difficult to clean, because the body always prefers to burn glucose or fat - this leads to liver transplants! You can clear such a stuffy liver BEFORE it refuses to work if you stop eating at all for weeks or maintain a very strict diet of only vegetables. In short - fructose is NOT USEFUL as 3 claims - it does not lead to insulin secretion and diabetes, BUT it leads to worse consequences, because if your liver refuses you die. Today, not only alcoholics have this problem, but also people like you who consume huge amounts of fructose in their diet - and not only honey, but also natural juices, fruits. Especially natural juices and fruits such as grapes are very rich in fructose and are pure "bombs". If your fructose-sucrose orgy happens to you once and you're 18, OK, but if you eat honey often, jam in general you will get type 2 diabetes with age and there is no way to skip it - everything is individual, but we humans are still the same species and these diseases will not escape you - it can catch you at 30, maybe at 24 or 40, but you will definitely get diabetes if you continue like this. You will also not gain weight. at the age of 18 everything is still new to you, your whole body in two words is healthy and you have not only a higher metabolism, but also insulin sensitivity, but after 5 years you will have lost 20 kg without realizing it. heavier. Why do you have such a hunger for sweets - there are two reasons usually - stress and the second reason is that your brain burns only sugars. That is, you eat ON THE PRINCIPLE of high-carbohydrate food - not only jam, but also bread, potatoes, rice, pastries of all kinds you consume often, also fruits, sweet drinks, juices. You become something like a sugar addict, like a sugar junkie. In addition, you eat often, which does not allow your body to go into a "fat burning" mode in the absence of insulin, but through the secretion of leptin. In short, you are under the influence of insulin non-stop and your blood sugar drops very sharply, which leads you to non-stop hunger for sweets, pasta and junk food. How to treat a person from this - with abstinence as in any drug addiction. One way is not to eat at all for 3 days, the other way is 2 weeks not only not to eat sweets, but also the above foods that I described to you and yes, also fruits and juices are taboo. After 2 weeks you will physically lose the need to cram in jam, but mentally you may always have this problem if you do not control yourself, but if you eat up to 3 times a day for 2 weeks and only vegetables, eggs, meat, olive oil, butter dairy foods full-fat WITHOUT jam, WITHOUT bread, pastries, katrofi, fruits and juices ... Also most likely in your childhood you were given jam from a young age and you have such an addiction from a young age. That is why today sweet things are not given to young children up to 3 years of age at all, in general juices are forbidden in kindergartens in many Western countries for children, along with Coca Cola and co. In short, yours fed you unhealthily and continues to do so - no one made your mother buy this garbage. Honey is also not a healthy food, but a substitute is poison. Honey has at least some minerals and is used for flavoring - 1 teaspoon in tea, if you have a sore throat to suck honey - it's OK, but honey is not food, but a delicacy. Homo sapiens' natural food is meat, dairy products, eggs, vegetables and fruits, and only in the last season, and honey was found by our ancestors very rarely and was a delicacy - they did not eat honey in practice. Our bodies are not made to handle such huge amounts of jam.
And yet - we are not doctors here. Go have your blood sugar tested, calm down. And if there is a problem - increased appetite for sweets is generally a consequence of an existing problem (ie it is a symptom).
Well, one time nothing will happen to you, but another time avoid such a bite of overeating with jam. Definitely not good for health, and now you are 18 and your metabolism is fast, but when you turn 30 and if you continue to overeat so hard with sugar, you are guaranteed to have a lot of problems and overweight. So eat your sweets, but in moderation.
