Seven Reasons Why Sugar is Making You Fat

Your body cannot process too much of it
So simply it gets stored as fat. Plus it also makes fat burning even harder – if you eat sugar everyday, all the gym sessions in the world cannot help you. Remember, you cannot out exercise a bad diet!

Sugar is also addictive
So once you start eating it, it’s very hard to stop. This is why you very rarely find a pack of half-finished biscuits. Stop the cycle by not starting it.

Sugar causes exhaustion
Sugar leaches your body of vitamin B – as does any mental, physical and emotional stress – which causes exhaustion. Add sugar on to the end a stressed out day, and you get a double whammy of vitamin B depletion.

Leads to faster fat storage
Burning body fat is a lot to do with controlling insulin levels. Yet, consuming sugar raises insulin levels, leading to faster fat storage and this is the real reason why so many in the western world are overweight and obese. So sugar, not fat, is making us fatter.

Sugar lowers energy levels
Processed sugar causes damaging increase in your blood sugar levels, giving you a quick burst of energy, which is soon followed by a long, hard crash, leaving you tired, hungry and eventually, fat.

Sugar wears out your organs
It forces organs to cope with changes in your body chemistry which means your kidneys and pancreas can become worn out long before you stop needing them.

Depletes vitamin and mineral stores
Too much sugar depletes vitamin and mineral stores in the body, which may impact on the immune system. So you’ll become ill more frequently and for longer.
