> Sugars and carbohydrates do not trigger the hormone that says we're full when compared It's important to note the difference between refined sugars (candy) and natural sugars (fruits). Refined sugars are basically fructose (hello High Fructose Corn Syrup). Refined sugars -- super hella bad. When you eat the refined sugars, your liver actually traps the ATP, blocking the pathway to the brain, making you still feel hungry.

  HFCS is generally in the range of 50% to 90% fructose. In other words, it's typically worse than sucrose for you. Fructose does not provoke a satiety response in the human gastroenteric system, unlike glucose. So if you do eat candy, prefer sucrose to HFCS and glucose to sucrose. Sucrose will be listed on packaging as "sugar".

I've found that Fountain Soda (in addition to not containing huge amounts of tooth destroying acid) does not make me hungry and does seem to fill me. I've been a single meal a day guy for decades (as well as a soda fan). The switch to Soda Fountains (commercial) and their offensive costing, has kept me in good shape (no visible fat) when paired with continuous fasting.

Fructose "fruit sugar" is so named due to its occurrence in fruit. Check this[0] list to see the fructose content of various fruits. Lustig[1] says the reason naturally occurring fructose is not as harmful as industrial fructose is that fruit also contains fiber, which slows down the absorption of fructose.
