00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Top 5 ways added sugar can make you gain weight.

00:15Eating too much added sugar, like in sodas, candies, and desserts,

00:19can lead to weight gain and health issues like diabetes and heart disease.

00:22Here are 5 reasons why sugar can be fattening.

00:251. High in empty calories.

00:27Added sugars, like corn syrup or cane sugar, are high in calories but give you no real nutrients.

00:32Foods packed with sugar, like cookies and soda,

00:35make it easy to gain weight because they're all calories with no nutritional benefits.

00:392. Messes with blood sugar and hormones.

00:41Eating sugary foods spikes your blood sugar, and over time, this can lead to insulin resistance,

00:46which makes your body store more fat, especially around your belly.

00:49It can also mess with hormones like leptin, which normally helps you control hunger.

00:543. Sugary foods aren't filling.

00:56Sugary snacks are usually low in protein and fiber, which help you feel full.

01:00So, eating these can leave you hungry and reaching for more food later on.

01:044. Replaces healthy foods.

01:06When you eat a lot of sugary stuff, you're likely missing out on essential nutrients like fiber,

01:10protein, and healthy fats that come from whole foods,

01:13which could negatively affect your health and weight.

01:165. Makes you overeat.

01:17Fructose, a type of sugar found in many processed foods,

01:20can increase your hunger hormones and make you crave more.

01:23Plus, sugar can activate the pleasure centers in your brain,

01:26making you want more sweet, high-calorie foods.

01:29A review of 30 studies involving over 242,000 people showed a strong link

01:33between sugary drinks and obesity, affecting groups like pregnant women and teens.

01:38Another study of nearly 7,000 kids found those eating more added sugars had more body fat.

01:43High-sugar diets also raise the risk of chronic diseases.

01:46In a study of 85,000 people, those who got 25 percent of their calories from

01:50sugar had more than double the risk of dying from heart disease.

01:54Added sugars raise body fat, cholesterol, and triglycerides,

01:57increasing heart disease risks in kids.

01:59They're also linked to type 2 diabetes and possibly depression, which may cause weight gain.
