I cut out sugar for a month recently and my sleep cut in half and my depression really worsened. Really affected my job performance. I didn't think it would last that long or be that bad. It's crazy.
I went back to eating bit of sugar and the same night had a great sleep.
Not sure what to do now. I find it easy not to eat it but the side effects are very difficult to deal with
- epolanski 2y agoI think your body and brain have simply to adapt. Experiment with gradually more sugar till you find a right balance then get back to cutting in very small steps.
- switch007 2y agoYou may be right. I inadvertently went cold turkey as I was counting calories and sugar is high in calories and substituting for meat/veg was easy.
- will1am 2y agoCutting out sugar entirely is too challenging
- TylerLives 2y agoThis will probably get a lot of downvotes, but consider the possibility that sugar is actually good for you - https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/glycemia.shtml https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/glycemia.shtml
