What you get from sweet food and extremes of gluttony? (5)

I believe the answer is:

pudgy

'what you get from sweet' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'food and extremes of gluttony?' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'pud' (pud is a kind of food).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'extremes of' suggests removing the centre (only the letters at the extremes of the word).
'gluttony' with its middle taken out is 'gy'.
'pud'+'gy'='PUDGY'

(Another definition for pudgy that I've seen is " Short and plump".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
