What Would Happen If You Gave Up Sugar Completely for Two Weeks?

I thought giving up sugar would be no big deal. I was wrong. By Day 2, I was sweating through my sheets. By Day 5, I could smell a croissant from across the street. But by Day 14? I felt like I had swapped out my brain for a newer, sharper model.

Let me ask you something:
When was the last time you went 24 hours without eating sugar?

• Not dessert.
• Not a soda.
• Not a spoon of honey in your tea.

I mean zero added sugar.

Nothing. Nada.

If you’re like most people, the answer is... never.

That was me too.

I used to think I had a healthy diet. I didn’t drink soda.

I ate oatmeal.

I chose "low-fat" yogurts and whole-grain cereals.

But once I started checking labels, I realized I was consuming sugar in ways I didn’t even notice salad dressings, bread, granola bars, even pasta sauce.

So I decided to run an experiment:
What would happen if I gave up sugar completely for two weeks?

Here’s everything I learned.
