Effects of Cutting Out Sugar
Removing sugar from the diet can significantly impact overall health, particularly in reducing empty calorie intake, which aids in weight loss. When sugar is replaced with fiber and protein, individuals may experience increased satiety, helping them feel fuller for longer periods while lowering total caloric consumption. However, the transition to a sugar-free diet can trigger withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and upset stomach, which may last from a few days to two weeks as the body adjusts. Once these initial symptoms subside, individuals often notice improvements in energy levels, skin condition, and workout recovery, contributing to a more active and healthier lifestyle.
