<p>I would advise anyone looking to lose weight and body fat to cut back on all portions containing sugar, starting with the total elimination from the diet of all sugar beverages: soft drinks, fruit juices, sports drinks, sweet tea, coffee with sugar, milk shakes, etc. Stop drinking sugar.</p>
<p>Even is this only works as a result of calorie reduction (and there is considerable evidence regarding liver metabolism of sugar to suggest that it’s more than calories), then cutting sugar consumption is reducing calories with a food that has zero nutritional value beyond the calories.</p>
