Brief Summary
This video reveals a science-backed method to eliminate belly fat, focusing on the role of fructose and a rare sugar called allulose. It explains how fructose contributes to visceral fat accumulation and how allulose, unlike fructose, can help burn fat, increase satiety, and improve metabolic health. The video also highlights the benefits of allulose over other sweeteners and its positive impact on brain health.
- Fructose promotes visceral fat storage.
- Allulose, a rare sugar, can help burn fat and increase satiety.
- Allulose has unique benefits over other sweeteners due to its hormone stimulation.
Many people struggle to lose belly fat despite dieting and exercise. Dr. Ben Bikman introduces a method to combat this issue, highlighting that 99% of people can burn belly fat by understanding the role of a specific type of sugar: fructose. Fructose is a primary cause of visceral fat accumulation around internal organs, and it's often consumed unknowingly through fruits and honey. Certain signals from fructose selectively promote belly fat storage, even when individuals have good intentions with their diet.
A human study compared the effects of consuming drinks loaded with glucose versus fructose. Both groups gained fat, but the location of fat storage differed significantly. The glucose drinkers stored more subcutaneous fat (the kind you can pinch), while the fructose drinkers stored more visceral fat (central abdominal fat). This demonstrates that fructose is more likely to contribute to the dangerous fat around the organs.
Allulose, a natural low-calorie rare sugar found in small amounts in fruits like figs, raisins, and jackfruit, shares a similar structure with fructose but has a crucial difference: it isn't metabolized like regular sugar. Instead of spiking blood sugar and promoting fat storage, allulose is absorbed by the body and largely excreted, making it virtually non-caloric. Allulose competes with fructose for absorption, reducing fructose uptake.
Allulose substantially increases the hormone GLP-1, potentially more than any other food or drink. GLP-1 is the same molecule targeted by popular weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic. By increasing GLP-1, allulose helps people feel fuller longer, reduces cravings, and helps resolve uric acid, which promotes fat burning and insulin sensitivity. Blocking fructose with allulose helps prevent belly fat, and the increase in GLP-1 regulates appetite and stimulates fatty acid oxidation, ultimately aiding in fat reduction.
Research in the Journal of Food Science indicates that allulose can directly reduce visceral fat. Because it doesn't cause blood sugar spikes, allulose helps maintain low insulin levels, making it easier to burn stored fat. It also boosts metabolism, allowing the body to burn more calories even at rest. Allulose can be easily incorporated into the diet by adding it to coffee, tea, or using it in baking recipes. It dissolves well and lacks the bitter aftertaste of some artificial sweeteners.
While sweeteners like Stevia, aspartame, and monk fruit extract are inert replacements for sugar, allulose goes a step further. It outcompetes fructose, helping control uric acid, and uniquely stimulates GLP-1 production. This makes allulose a beneficial replacement for sugar due to its hormone stimulation effects.
Incorporating allulose into your diet supports brain health by activating AMPK, which stimulates energy and fat burning and mitochondrial biogenesis. This can improve cognition by addressing brain energy deficits. The FDA recognizes allulose as completely safe, and studies confirm that most people tolerate it well without the insulin resistance or digestive issues associated with artificial sweeteners.
Allulose is a GameChanger for those struggling with belly fat, offering a natural way to accelerate weight loss without sacrificing sweets. By swapping regular sugar for allulose, you can satisfy sweet cravings while supporting fat burning. Successful weight loss involves managing insulin levels, and lowering this hormone allows the body to naturally burn excess fat.

0:00 dreaming of a flat belly but diet and exercise don't seem to work renowned medical scientist Dr Ben bman has unveiled a simple science-backed method to eliminate belly fat according to him 99% of people can burn belly fat with specific type of sugar the key lies in fructose one of the primary culprits behind the accumulation of visceral fat around internal organs what's more most people consume it unknowingly as it's naturally present in many fruits and honey there are some signals that more selectively promote belly fat than others so with the best of intentions they may inadvertently be continuing to consume foods that are selectively promoting belly fat one example is
0:46 fructose so there was a very compelling human study that had humans consume um drinks that were either loaded with glucose or loaded with fructose now both groups of people gained fat so they both got fat but where they stored fat differed whereas the glucose drinkers stored more subcutaneous fat so the fat beneath the skin that you pinch and jiggle the fructose drinkers stored more visceral or Central fat the most surprising fact is that fructose has a twin alal this natural low calorie sugar is found in small amounts in fruits like figs raisins and jack fruit classified as a rare sugar alos shares a similar structure with fructose but has one crucial difference it isn't metabol like
1:32 regular sugar instead of spiking blood sugar and promoting fat storage alos is absorbed by the body but largely excreted making it virtually non-caloric it is a sugar people want to say that it's a sweetener um it's not it is it is what's called technically a rare sugar that you can get from things like figs for example now what's different or what's unique about it is that it's essentially fructose is good twin that it's this this Tale of Two sugars that whereas fructose has these generally negative metabolic effects um alose is identical to sugar with the exception of one carbon has a version is is flipped at one of the carbons within the
2:18 molecules so it is almost identical and yet it gets absorbed differently it competes with fructose so if you are taking fructose in alose the alose will compete against the fructose to get absorbed into the bloodstream and then it goes further in the digestive tract as well and so it has a substantial effect on the hormone glp1 in fact alose increases glp1 as far as we can tell more than any other thing we can eat or drink it increases glp1 by up to 8 to 10 times now glp1 is important if it doesn't sound familiar that is the molecule that these popular weight loss drugs are taking advantage of namely wovi and OIC those are drugs that stimulate the same receptors that
3:04 glp1 does so they are what's called glp1 agonists but in Al's case you're simply just making more glp1 and so it's no surprise that with alos people feel Fuller longer and have a greater sense of satiety and their Cravings are down um but also it helps resolve uric acid which my friend Rick Johnson at the University of Colorado has really studied and and we're good buddies and we've studied this together um alilo really rapidly lowers uric acid which he has found helps with fat burning and insulin sensitivity so there there there's a lot here but just by blocking fructose we help prevent some belly fat by increasing glp1 we not only regulate
3:50 appetite better but also gp1 has a direct effect at fat cells to stimulate fatty acid oxidation so glp1 stimulates fat burning which of course ultimately helps with controlling fat or reducing it research published in the Journal of Food Science shows that alosi can directly reduce visceral fat the fat that accumulates around internal organs particularly in the abdominal area since alose doesn't cause blood sugar spikes it helps maintain low insulin levels making it easier for the body to access and burn stored fat additionally this rare sugar boosts metabolism allowing your body to burn more calories even at rest one one of Al's greatest advantages is how easy it is to incorporate into
4:36 your diet especially if you have a sweet tooth you can simply add it to coffee tea or use it in baking recipes it dissolves well in liquids and doesn't have the bitter aftertaste associated with some artificial sweeteners you can also snack on dates or raisins if you need a quick energy boost between meals Alo is present in various food products but it's crucial to check ingredient labels carefully some manufacturers use it as a sugar substitute in syrups jams and desserts but for maximum benefit alal should be the primary sweetener not just a minor additive it's also important to note that alal has key advantages over other sweeteners such as Stevia I think there is absolutely a place for these natural and artificial
5:22 even sweeteners at replacing sugar that to me is the priority replace sugar and in that sense all of those other sweeteners are kind of the same in my mind for the most part not all quite the same but Stevia aspartame monk fruit extract they're all kind of inert replacements for sugar but alilo takes it one step further because not only does it out compete fructose which helps control uric acid but it also has that glp1 effect which the others do not have so it is unique whereas the others are just an inert replacement for sugar alose is in fact I would say a beneficial replacement for sugar because of this hormone stimulation that appears to be almost totally unique to alose by incorporating alose into your diet you
6:08 won't just burn belly fat you'll also support brain health alilo has been shown to activate ampk and ampk is a signal that stimulates energy burning or or glucose and fat burning but it also stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis so that could be one of the mechanisms whereby alos is improving things like cognition because the more we learn about Alzheimer's disease the more we really look at it as a deficit of brain energy the brain is essentially going hungry and anything we can do to correct that hunger including stimulating more powerhouses like the mitochondria are going to generally be helpful it's important to highlight that the US Food and Drug Administration FDA has recognized alos as completely safe moreover studies confirm that most
6:54 people tolerate it well unlike artificial sweeteners alalo doesn't contribute to insulin resistance or cause Di digestive issues incorporating alal into your diet can be a GameChanger especially if you're struggling with stubborn belly fat and looking for a natural way to accelerate weight loss without giving up sweets not only does alalo satisfy your sweet Cravings but it also supports fat burning so the next time you want to sweeten your food or drinks swap regular sugar for alal it's a simple step toward a Slimmer healthier body remember successful weight loss comes down to managing insulin levels lowering the amount of this pancreatic hormone in your blood allows your body to naturally burn excess fat want to
