I had to explain this to my fiance' and its an understandable misconception. Advertisers have pushed low or no fat foods hyping that they are better for you and kept the high caloric value of some of these foods on the "down low" so people forget to look at the caloric value of the food and end up with way too many calories a day. In addition sugar breaks down in your system quickly causing an insulin spike which results in more fat storage. I'd probably cut back on the sugar, you'll feel better. You might miss the energy that a simple carb like sugar can produce at first but you should even out pretty quickly. You'll be healthier and probably thinner too. When I cut out soda pop I dropped about a thousand calories a day. That alone can help one lose weight.
