8 Signs You Have Too Much Blood Sugar

8 Signs You’re Eating Too Much Sugar
1. You’re Constantly Craving Sweets
The more sugar you eat, the more you’ll crave it. This isn’t just because your taste buds have adapted to sugar and you crave more of the same taste, but also because of the way sugar provides instant gratification to the brain, which disrupts brain chemistry. According to research published in the journal Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, sugar is more addictive than cocaine.

2. You’re feeling lazy all day long
Energy is more stable when blood sugar is stable. Therefore, when you consume too much sugar, the ups and downs in your blood sugar lead to ups and downs in energy. Eating a lot of sugar also means you’re likely not getting enough protein and fiber, two important nutrients for sustained energy.
