What to Do After You've Eaten Too Much Sugar

At Cooking Light, we think you should have treats in moderation (read: a fun-sized packet of Skittles or an occasional donut is totally fair game). But there’s something about Halloween that makes us want to binge eat anything with sugar and throw healthy eating completely out the window. The problem is that when you eat candy by the fistful, your body can take a major hit (and we're not just talking added calories). If you’re a sweets lover, you’ve probably experienced a stomachache, felt shaky, or crashed after a particularly large serving of sugar. Struggling to cook healthy? We'll help you prep. Sign up for our new weekly newsletter, ThePrep, for inspiration and support for all your meal plan struggles. SIGN UP Cooking Light's Food and Nutrition Director, Brierley Horton, MS, RD, explains: "When you binge on the sweet stuff, your body breaks sugar into glucose, which is released into your bloodstream. As a response, your body then releases insulin to help bring your sugar levels back down and help your cells 'mop it up'. Whatever sugar your body doesn't use gets stored as fat." Horton also adds that eating too much sugar can make your blood sugar levels spike—making you feel hungry and craving more sugary foods—so ending the cycle is key. If you’ve hit the candy a little hard today, here’s what to do.

Eat some protein and fiber

Prep a healthy meal for later

Eating sweets makes you crave more not-so-good for you food. Throw a healthy meal in your slow cooker for later so that you won't be tempted to order takeout or swing through a drive-through.

Will eating one a day lose weight?

Study participants who tried eating one meal a day ended up with less total body fat. This particular group of people didn't experience significant weight loss. That said, intermittent fasting in general has proven to be an effective weight-loss method. The typical weight loss is 7 to 11 pounds over 10 weeks.

The “One Meal a Day” diet, or OMAD diet, claims to help you lose weight by forcing your body to burn fat. It’s a type of intermittent fasting, which alternates between periods throughout the day in which you can eat anything and periods in which you don’t eat at all. OMAD is particularly strict because you don’t eat for 23 hours, then consume all of your calories in a single meal. How It Works Like other kinds of intermittent fasting, eating one meal a day is a way of manipulating how your body finds and uses fuel. When you eat in a more traditional pattern, your energy comes from the food that you eat. When you take in carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into sugars. If you have more sugar in your blood than you need, a chemical called insulin will carry the extra into your fat cells. When you don’t eat for extended periods of time, your body produces less insulin. Your cells still need energy for fuel, so your fat cells release energy to compensate. For this to happen, however, you have to avoid eating for long enough that your insulin levels drop.
