How Eating Sugar Puts Fat On Your Belly

Sugar could possibly be the biggest obstacle to losing belly fat. Consuming too much sugar is basically telling your body to store fat instead of burn it. When you digest sugar your blood-glucose level rises fast which then tells your body to release insulin. Insulin is like your body’s hoarder of fat so it collects it and doesn’t want to give it up. What’s even worse is the more sugar you eat in one sitting the more your blood-glucose level rises which means your body stores even MORE fat.

Scary stuff easily and you can only imagine what will happen over a long period of time if your body continually stores fat. A bigger stomach! Plus tons of other conditions & plenty of trips to your doctor. Unfortunately sugar is so integrated into our food you can almost find it in everything. So when you’re buying your food you want to check the sugar count and try to cut down as many sugar-filled foods since those typically don’t help either.

The common offenders to avoid or limit are: soda, candy, desserts, refined carbohydrates like pastas, white rice, white bread. Sugar also hides in yogurts, juices, cereals, and even sauces. All these offenders you either want to eliminate or substitute for a healthier alternative. So when you’re grocery shopping always be aware of the sugar count.
