A member asked:
Does lowering sugar really help in losing weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Yes it does. Cutting out sugar and starch is important due to the carbohydrates causing weight gain. Eating carbohydrates leads to the release of the fat-storage hormone insulin, which acts to remove nutrients from the bloodstream and store it as fat. Limiting sugar intake is a great starting point to starting a weight loss process, but is not the only factor to consider.
