Get lots of sleep
You have no idea how many times I’ve heard “I need the sugar to keep me awake.” For one you can always get a shot of espresso black, instead of downing 12 oz of sugary sludge. The second point is shouldn’t sleep be doing this for you? If you get a significant amount of sleep at night you’re less likely to crave sugar during the day. Sleep deprivation also leads to higher levels of cortisol which can put your hormones in an uproar and pack on the fat. Whatever’s keeping you up at night, knock it off until the morning.
