Sugar is not only empty calories, especially in the form of liquid like sodas, but it also invites hunger in your life. When you take sugar, your blood sugar level rises and the body quickly gets into work to balance itself. Insulin is released and sugar is stored as fat. All this work lowers your blood sugar, causing you to get hungry. So you eat again, getting stuck in a nasty hunger cycle.
