High blood triglycerides interfere with the function of the hormone leptin, causing you to want to overeat rather than rely on your stored body fat for energy.

Excessive fructose consumption is also linked to fatigue, insulin resistance, diabetes, and high blood pressure. — Mark Sisson

In fact, several studies have shown that losing weight and exercising vigorously can sometimes actually reverse the disease diabetes, at least during its early stages. One extreme study placed eleven diabetics on a grueling ultra-low-calorie diet of just 600 calories per day for eight weeks. Six hundred calories is an extreme diet that would challenge most people it’s about two tuna fish sandwiches a day. After two months, however, these seriously food-deprived diabetics had lost an average of 13 kilograms 27 pounds, mostly visceral fat, their pancreases doubled how much insulin they could produce, and they recovered nearly normal levels of insulin sensitivity. Vigorous physical activity also has potent reversal effects by causing your body to produce hormones glucagon, cortisol, and others that cause your liver, muscle, and fat cells to release energy. These hormones temporarily block the action of insulin while you exercise, and then they increase the sensitivity of these cells to insulin for up to sixteen hours following each bout of exercise. — Daniel Lieberman
