Although I can't prove it and have found no scientific evidence to prove my theory.
I believe that sugar may be the reason for stress and depression not because of the downer after the sugar high, but I believe the body induces the sugar high by using the bodies stored vitamin B's (all or some or one) so this is the reason for the weight spiralling down or up. Vitamin B's from what I can source from the net keep our sugar needs in check**, and also give us energy and allow us to concentrate (so I can understand why so many parents think their little angels might have A.D.D) after consuming sugar as A.D.D children also have depleted vitamin B in their bodies*.
So this means I will have to wean myself off sugar to loose this weight (damn)
Watch this space if anyone is interested in my theory I will start getting reference links. (done)
I would be very happy to hear anyone elses opinion on my little light bulb theory.

"All B vitamins help the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is "burned" to produce energy." from source http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/vitamin-b3-000335.htm

So if you are consuming sugar you are using up your vitamin b stores which are also needed to convert other food into energy, up keep of our nervous system, keep depression at bay and help with concentration.
