This paper in the British Medical journal looked at 68 trials previously done. These trials looked at :
1) increasing calorie intake by increasing sugar intake
2) decreasing calorie intake by decreasing sugar intake
3) maintaining calorie intake by swapping carbohydrate calories for sugar
They also tried to look at similar rials in children, but found the results poor as children found it hard to stick to a particular, imposed regimen.
The outcomes were that if you increase your calories intake with sugars you put on weight, if you reduce your calorie intake by reducing sugars you loose weight and if you away like for like with carbohydrate your weight remains stable.
The authors note these kind of studied looking at reported diets are difficult to interpret as we are all poor at reporting our diet accurately.
