6 Signs You’re Eating Too Much Sugar

Many foods have hidden sugar, pushing us far over the daily recommended intake without us realizing it. Fortunately, your body will give you some warning signs that you’re eating too much sugar. Here are a few of those signs.

1. Frequent Urination

If you have to take constant bathroom breaks, that may be a sign that you are eating too much sugar. That’s because of the impact sugar can have on your kidneys and their ability to process fluids.

When blood sugar is too high, the kidneys can’t absorb fluid, so they push the excess out via urination. Keep an eye on this, especially if you’re waking up during the night to use the bathroom.

2. Constant Sugar Cravings

Many of us have a sweet tooth that compels us to eat something sugary. While that’s fine once in a while, it’s a problem if it’s become a routine. Constant cravings are a sign that you are eating too much sugar.

The more sugar you eat, the more you’ll want it. This is because sugar works in your body similar to a drug. It provides an energy burst, then a crash, then a craving to get that feeling again.

3. Weight Gain

Sugar is packed with calories, and because it has no fiber or protein, it doesn’t make you feel full. That’s why it’s so easy to binge on candy and other sugary snacks.

The body tries to convert that sugar to energy for the organs, but it can only burn so much. The rest is stored as fat to be burned later. If you notice you are gaining weight, it may be related to the amount of sugar you’re eating.

4. Acne
