What Happens to Your Body When You Skip Sugar for Two Weeks or More

Skipping added sugar for 14 days can lead to significant health improvements such as reduced cravings, stabilized energy, better sleep, and improved insulin response, according to gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi. The detox helps reset metabolism, reduce liver fat, and lower visceral fat, although initial symptoms like cravings and fatigue may occur as the brain recalibrates reward signals. This approach is especially beneficial for those experiencing bloating, fatty liver, or insulin resistance.
