Your body converts sugar into energy that can be used by the cells. If you eat too much sugar, the excess sugar ends up being stored as body fat. Eventually, this fat starts showing up on your waist, hips, thighs, and face. In addition, added sugars can travel to the intestine and alter the behavior of intestinal bacteria, which in turn increases blood sugar levels. Prolonged elevated blood sugar or hyperglycemia can lead to weight gain by promoting insulin resistance. Also Read - Boost your heart health and lose weight too: Follow the 3-day cardiac diet
