By itself - no: The process is as follows. Your heart & brain use sugar as their primary energy source.Your body can make adequate supplies of blood sugar from your fat stores & store any excess over what it needs in the liver for quick use. This helps you burn off fat but you can feel sluggish during the process. It is very important to push your fluid intake, lack of which will make you faint.
