Quitting Sugar: Helpful Tips for Expected Withdrawal Symptoms
Headache: Toxins can leave your body, and many changes are happening. For instance, you may experience headaches. To help relieve headaches and flush out toxins, drink a lot of water. You should aim to drink half of your body weight in water each day.
Fatigue: You may feel tired, fatigued, or like you need to take a nap. Because your body is resetting itself, allow your body time to rest.
Cravings: Sugar has been your body's fuel and energy source. Elimination may cause cravings, especially for sugar. Adding protein and fat will satiate your cravings and provide you with added sources of energy.
Achy: Some experience flu-like symptoms and achy joints and discomfort. To help, enjoy an Epsom salt bath, which is a gentle way of detoxing and alleviating pain and discomfort.
Irritable: Being aware that your body is going through a process is necessary and irritability is only temporary. Eating protein-filled snacks more frequently aids in keeping your blood sugar steady eliminating the feeling of being “hangry”.
Most of us wouldn’t be signing up to experience those withdrawal symptoms. We don’t realize the power of sugar. Who would want to go through any of those side effects? Not me! However, being aware of the temporary symptoms of elimination will help you prepare for the process of detoxing. Then, you’ll be on your way to experiencing ALL of the amazing benefits of quitting sugar.
How Long Should I Expect Withdrawal Symptoms?
Mountain Dew drinker? Unfortunately, the more addicted you are to sugar the more intense your reactions may be. As a result, it may take 3-7 days before you start feeling better. Personally, for myself, it can take up to 7 days before I start feeling that amazing energy!! But, I promise you, it is absolutely worth it.
