Sugar And Weight Gain

The Study

This study is a systematic review of 169 trials that examined the relationship between sugar consumption and weight gain. 

The results were pretty predictable:

In trials where sugar was added to the diet, subjects experienced statistically significant weight gain.

In trials where sugar was subtracted from the diet, subjects experienced statistically significant weight loss.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2023; 117:741-65.

Take Home Message

Simple message here.  If you are trying to lose weight and keep it off, you need to be seriously concerned about the amount of sugar you are consuming.
