- You have a hard time losing weight
While sugar itself doesn’t necessarily cause weight gain, the number of studies linking sugar and weight gain is undeniable. Eating sugar-rich foods regularly can cause you to consume too much energy.
Complex carbohydrates (like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables), healthy fats (like nuts and seeds), and lean proteins (like fish and chicken) can take your system longer to digest, keeping your blood sugar levels steady. If you eat a bar of chocolate at 4 pm, you’ll be hungry again soon. But if you eat an apple, you will feel very full.
