You failed to answer my question. Again is there a benefit to tricking your body that you are eating a meal which provides a high amount of energy?

Sugar isn't bad, it is a biological solution to the energy storage problem just like fat, and our bodies know how to deal with the sugar present in nature (in fruits). The sugar in an apple is absorbed slowly, without a dramatic increase in blood glucose unlike the one in a Coke can.
