The tricky part is that to your body, “sugar” isn’t just white table sugar. In fact, sugar can take the form of any simple carbohydrate, including pasta, bread, cereal, juice, desserts, candy, or even “natural” sweeteners like agave syrup or fruit juice. The more often you eat these foods, the more often your body has to go through the whole process of releasing insulin to usher the sugar into your cells. Your insulin will almost definitely have trouble keeping up with this onslaught of sugar, leaving you with excess sugar in your blood but no way to metabolize it.
