Mmm, unless, of course, it decides to stroll over to your MUSCLES to pull some calories, which is probably the more likely scenario.
dogboy:
If you eat a lot of sugar you probably wont burn it all right away. First it fills your glycogen stores which are burned off quickly when you do any type of exercise, but the excess will be converted and stored as fat. Your body is very efficient at doing that with simple sugars so it happens FAST.
So then later on because of your calorie deficit your body needs to tap into some extra cals.. well guess what, it doesn't discriminate between your love handles and your biceps.. its going to burn them both for the extra energy. Also if you have a caloric deficit and your blasting a sugar high a few times a day.. you're body will go into fat storage mode because it thinks you are starving yourself. You will get a nice little pot belly.

Why all the hating on fruit? Most fruits are around 50/50 glucose/fructose. Fructose will be preferentially stored in the liver as opposed to being stored as fat. Remember, the human brain is a glucose hog and that liver glycogen is used to keep blood sugar levels stable and feed the grey matter(muscle glycogen is only available to the muscle), I've seen studies claiming the brain needs 90-150 grams a day of glucose to function. A well nourished human can store about 500g of CHO, with the liver storing between 90-110g of glycogen. Those 50g of carbs from fruit, in the form of fructose, aren't going to be stored as fat unless you have a Calorie surplus.
Most of my carbohydrates come from fruit and this is about as bad as I look,

It's about the "big picture." You give some great tips and I'll hand you K but people should already understand that drinking regular coke and eating mayo isn't the best way to lose fat. I was a fat child because I had unrestricted access to sweets. By sixth garde I decided to make "healthy" choices because I was tired of being fat, I dropped all desserts and sweets for fruits as my dessert. My weight dropped rapidly.
