blood glucose and cycling

i have a mental health mentor at uni who after finding out my typical daily food and drink has suggested that its my sugar intake that may be affecting my moods....anyone else had this issue or know anything about it? I really looooove sugar so dont want to cut down!!!!!!!!!!

I agree its the sugar and the processed foods. I did an experiment while baseline I drank some soda, and I shot through the roof!!! I was a high that I wanted to come down from but I couldn't for at least an hour, it was terrible, I was fidgety and felt manic. Afterward once I came down I ate some junk food, and again the same thing, not as bad but I was manic.

Wholefoods is the way to go, once before I consumed only whole foods never raising my glucose levels and I was happy to report stabilized 95% alone from eating and drinking properly.

I love sugar too, but once you stay away from it, even its evil counter-part fake sugar you will beat the cravings. It takes a month for me to see results, and once I have the urge again, I must ignore it, the urge will come once in a while.

Good luck with this, have you kicked the sugar habit? There are books on this subject alone, I believe I will purchase myself one soon. As the saying goes, Sugar is evil!
