Drinks for the day and why Ill be fat if something does not change

I have followed my plan to log my beverage intake:

3 sodas 450 cal 123g sugar
3 water glasses 0 cal 0 sugar
2 milk 300 cal 20 g sugar
1 coffee/milk 180 cal 13g sugar

Totals: 930 cal 156 sugar


Ok well looks like I am going to get super fat if I continue this course. 30% of my diet is in drinks. Most of the calories are sugar, so my blood glucose will be higher then it should be thru out the day. Let me explain what happens when you have a high volume of glucose in the blood stream all the time

When you drink soda (eat sugar), the presence of glucose, in the intestine stimulates the pancreas to secrete a hormone called insulin. Insulin acts on many cells in your body, especially those in the liver, muscle and fat tissue. Insulin tells the cells to do the following:

Absorb glucose

Stop breaking down:

glucose

glycogen into glucose

Start building:

glycogen from glucose

fats (triglycerides) from glycerol

Ok look at the list about see what happens, stop breaking down glucose. Stop Converting glycogen into glucose. Your body has now stopped using its internal energy stores. Start making FAT by making glycogen from glucose take the glycerol and make FAT. So if we want to lose fat lets keep the insulin out of the body as much as possible. This will help our body to continue using the internal stores for energy.

I will be researching some tricks and explaining why we can eat more carbs and or sugars after we work out.
