cut sugar out of your diet

The moment you cut sugar out of your diet, your body starts making some major adjustments—some good, some a little rough at first. Within the first hour, your blood sugar begins to stabilize as your body processes the last bit of glucose from your last meal. Insulin kicks in, making sure whatever sugar is left is either used for energy or stored. Without constant sugar spikes, you avoid those energy crashes, mood swings, and insane cravings that make you reach for more sweets.
By the end of the first day, your liver steps in to keep your blood sugar steady by breaking down stored glycogen into glucose. But here’s the catch—your body starts realizing it’s not getting that quick sugar fix, and you might feel the withdrawal. Headaches, irritability, fatigue—it’s not fun, but it’s temporary. Your brain, which loves sugar, is missing the dopamine rush, which is why you might feel a little cranky or sluggish.
