Apologies if this is the wrong forum section for this or similar topic has been done.
So the last few months I've realised I've been taking way too much sugar and it's been having a detrimental impact on my health and well-being. I'm not crazily overweight or anything but carry about a stone and a half more than I should which I'm looking to shift and then some. But it's more the sugar cravings and subsequent crash that has been holding me back, feeling lethargic and demotivated without that regular sugar rush.
Whilst I've obviously always known too much sugar isn't good for you I've never really thought it was that damaging. This last 10 days I've cut down on it significantly - no more energy drinks, sweets etc and the first 4 or 5 days were really tough - I was irritable, had some headaches and had really sugar cravings. I guess, my body has been so accustomed to sugar it's going to take some adjusting to not getting it. I've been fine the last few days and already feel healthier/lighter.
Has anyone else had any experiences of cutting down on sugar or general thoughts on it/tips etc? Cheers
