Twenty years ago, the trend in nutrition was to cut fats. What that inspired food manufacturers to do is increase sodium and sugar in our foods. Now, we know that it wasn't the fats leading to obesity and diabetes, it's the sugar. So how can we withdraw from sugar? Is a complete sugar detox a good idea? How should you go about doing a sugar detox? Owings Mills health coach Yvonne Bull explains. Watch the full video below and read on for a recap.

What happens when you eat sugar?

When you eat sugar, your body's blood sugar rises. You get an instant rush of satisfaction (the "sugar high"), but your body also releases insulin to try and get your blood sugar to come back down. That leads directly to fat storage, and then to weight gain, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

What should you expect during a sugar detox?

When you initiate a sugar detox, expect to feel symptoms common with any withdrawal. Some people say they feel flu-like symptoms, sometimes known as the sugar flu or the keto flu. You might feel fatigue, nausea, tingling, or chills, almost like you have a fever. You might also get headaches or, because your body detoxes through your tongue, you might get a thick feeling in your breath and your math. Be prepared for these symptoms and be prepared to go cold turkey. Drop your sugar intake at once. The Ohio University Medical Center determined that a sugar detox will take between 3-10 days. The more sugar you are normally taking in, the longer the detox will take. The good thing is, unlike other addictions, the intensity of the symptoms will decrease as you go on. You will feel most of the intensity of the withdrawal symptoms in between meals or when you are stressed.

What can you do before and during a sugar detox to help?

Because the intensity of your symptoms will be highest when stressed, do everything possible to reduce stress in your life. Regular exercise is a fantastic way to relieve stress. Even a 15-minute walk can help. Stay hydrated. The more water you drink, the more sugar will rinse from your body. Eat a diet featuring lean proteins (fish, chicken, cheese sticks, etc.) combined with high-fiber vegetables (leafy greens, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.). These will keep you full and work together to stabilize your blood sugar level. If you go toward fruit, go toward berries and low glycemic fruits.

What is a calorie? It’s a unit of energy. As a trainer, I had to ponder the question of how does one burn 100 calories. There are many variables to consider when answering this question because one strategy does NOT fit all! Those variables range from the weight of the individual, effort and ability to work hard and accomplish this task and mode of activity. A person’s weight comes into play as you consider it takes more calories expended to more a greater amount of mass. A person’s ability to work hard has a bearing on how quickly calories are burned; the fitter you become the harder you can work in a shorter period of time – thus accomplishing the goal of caloric expenditure in a time-efficient way! The exercise we choose to engage in also plays a role in caloric output. Typically and simplistically the harder you work the more calories we burn. Again this is relative to a person’s current level of fitness and their ability to tolerate exercise at an increased intensity. With that being said, if you have 600 seconds (aka 10 minutes), you could run a mile…or get creative and try any of these fun ways to squeeze in a 100 calorie-torching workout. *Calories burned is based on a 135-lb. woman.
