If the body doesn't think it's food, it processes it differently.
There's a blog over on NPR talking about how mixing alcohol with diet soda actually makes you drunker than if you mix the same alcohol with a sugary, regular soda.
Why? Sugar slows down alcohol absorption.
This is right up there with my theory that if your body doesn't recognize gluten as food, it continues to demand food containing gluten until the body has enough non-gluten calories from whatever you're eating to satiate itself. Yes, this means that one cookie with no gluten may satisfy you where it takes a half-dozen cookies with gluten to do the same thing.
That last is just a theory of mine. But it seems to work for me. I eat nutrient dense now, but much less food.
