I used to grab candy or soda when I needed energy, but I always crashed a few hours later. I didn’t realize how much sugar was messing with my body. My skin broke out, my belly hurt, and I couldn’t think clearly. One day I decided to cut it out, just for a week. That one week turned into a month—and I started feeling like a new person. I replaced soda with lemon water and sweet snacks with fruit and nut butter. I stopped craving sugar once I started feeding my body real food. My mood got better, and I didn’t feel so tired all the time. Now, I don’t even miss it. This blog walks you through my steps and shares how you can do the same, even if you have a sweet tooth. You’ll feel better before you know it.
