But high intake of sugars vs less physical activity causes obesity because extra glucose molecules are converted into Glycogen (process is called “Glycogenesis”) in the presence of Insulin.

While if you do hard physical work, then don’t stop taking sugars otherwise you will feel weakness, take calculated sugars as per your activity demands.
