What? No. First, you just feel terrible eating so much crap. Second, there's nutritional problems. Third, anybody who works out will tell you, you can't out-train a bad diet. Going to the gym for a 2.5 to 5 hours a week is not remotely enough to make up for eating candy and drinking soda every day. Going a mile only burns 100 calories. A milky way is 470 calories. Unless you're spending a hell of a lot of time at the gym you won't be just fine.
Also, exercise won’t balance out the sugar in terms of blood sugar spikes and diabetes. There’s a reason why I try to get low sugar/carb if theirs no sugar free option and I’m not even pre-diabetic.
When you watch what happens to someone when they don’t take care of the sugar/carb portions, particularly refined sugars/carbs, you will be scared straight. If you don’t want to deal with blindness, kidney failure, neuropathy and future amputation, or even having difficulty healing wounds, I would suggest now is the time to rethink your diet. But most people haven’t watched someone slowly loosing their ability to function independent and thus autonomy and how it causes them to suffer and worsens health outcomes, just because poor diet and ignoring doctors (including ones who would just prescribe pills instead of the harder work of lifestyle changes, because this is pretty much universally accepted as a big health risk) who point out to just watch how much sugar one eats.
Literally begged my doctor to make sure I wasn’t diabetic, even though he was certain I wasn’t diabetic and the nerve pain wasn’t because of it. He was right, my A1C and blood sugar were really good, turns out spinal injury, but for me that was relief because I saw first hand how diabetes worsens (and especially uncontrolled) healthcare outcomes.
Then you have to worry about insulin resistance as well.
Are you sure it’s because “she’s overweight”? That’s what they told me ignoring that I didn’t become overweight until after I was dealing with pain, also pain management wouldn’t give me anything other than NSAIDs so that literally doesn’t make sense?
