>sugar isn't any more relevant to getting fat than anything else. That's not quite true. High sugar intake results in an insulin spike, which in turn results in more fat being stored than would be had you eaten the same number of calories in the form of e.g. protein. Sugar also results in more net calories per calorie as it takes very little energy to digest. From a behavioral perspective (this matters!), sugar does not leave you feeling full. You can talk calories all day, but when it comes to weight loss you have to factor in how people actually work. A full person is less likely to overeat than a hungry one.
