LOL! I what I mean by 'sugar' and what you mean are different. I'm not talking about table sugar (or sucrose, as I would call it). Saccharides (the general term for all sugars) & carbohydrate are basically interchangable to a biochemist (i.e. me). There are a few other molecules that have the label 'carbohydrate' but technically aren't, hence the reason we don't use that term when we want to be specific. Keep reading you little undergrad, you.

Anyway, I meant carbs in the generic sense you read about in things like The Zone & The South Beach diet, which most certainly refer to sugars/carb as the same thing.
And to get back to the topic of fats & carbs & tummy muscles, all the more detailed info I gave you is correct, which you neglected to mention.
