Weight Gain

First and foremost, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, you might want to cut back on your daily sugar intake in order to manage your weight.

Too much sugar on a daily basis can lead to weight gain, which is very dangerous for your health.

Obesity rates across the globe are increasing and life expectancies, as a result, are on the decline, with sugar being one of the main culprits.

You see, too much sugar can lead to increases in hunger, as well as spikes in insulin levels. Insulin is a fat-storing hormone which means that excess insulin can result in increased amounts of body fat being stored.

Studies have also found that too much sugar can result in leptin resistance. Leptin is a hormone responsible for satiety, so if you build up resistance you’ll struggle to feel full and will consume more calories as a result.
