forehander said:Loads of sweets are never good. It plays havoc on you blood sugar levels. When you eat sweets your blood sugar levels quickly rise (the high) which causes your body to compensate with insulin. Since the sugar rush is so fast, your body over compensates and brings you blood sugar down below normal (the low). Excersise itself has little to do with this high and low effect. It will however serve to burn off extra calories so that you don't gain fat from it. I'm not an expert so I don't know what the long term effects are, but it can't be good.

Thanks
