How so?
Look … when you eat too much sugar (as it is everywhere now, inevitably you eat too much) the body cannot handle it … only too much sugar can kill you.
So when your blood sugar is higher than it needs to be, it becomes poisonous for you. This is when the insulin is revealed.
This hormone will remove excess sugar in the blood to save your life. The thing is, she doesn’t make that sugar go away! She has to put it somewhere. And this somewhere is where you don’t want it.
In the buttocks for example … or anywhere in the form of fat.
