Nutrition Tip: Your body will burn sugar before any other fuel source (protein or fat). Every time you eat sugar your body will stop burning your body fat to burn the sugar that you are consuming. To burn more fat you must decrease your sugar consumption. The more sugar you eat, the less fat you burn!
