When I stopped eating sugar, (drinking alcohol and caffiene) . I’ve experienced sugar cravings, I felt more tired than usual, feeling the need for a boost!

Sugar gives us a false high which then results in an energy debt which has to be repayed.

Following a sugar high we experience a low as the body repays its debt, this low makes us feel tired and we crave even more sugar and stimulants, if we satisfy this craving we build an even bigger debt, becoming trapped in an downward spiral, towards low energy levels and fatigue. The only way to break this cycle is to stop the stimulants such as caffeine and sugar (or detox). When detoxing you may feel more tired to begin with, once over this period, energy levels rise rapidly.

So the next time you eat something sweet to give you a boost, remember the debt you will have to pay!
