(33,982 posts)Sugar is sugar. Glucose/Fructose/Sucrose, your body does the same things with them regardless of whether it came from a paper packet or an orange. Granted, the refined kind lacks any sort of moderator like fiber, to slow digestion and smooth out an insulin spike, but you can add refined sugars to prepared things that do contain fiber and achieve the same result.
So in principle, the problem is still the raw amount of it. If you manage the totals, and still don't achieve desired results, probably some mitigating factor, like what the sugar is packaged in. But that's a back seat to the total energy intake. More than you burn; the body will store it. Our bodies are still prepared to feast/famine through hard times, but easily obtained calories in grotesque amounts are so readily available, they are practically falling from the sky. And we move less than ever before, doing office work and things like that.
And you still didn't hear a fucking thing the OP said, and your suggestions help not in the slightest.
