10 Signs You’re Eating Too Much Sugar (Page 2 ) | March 16, 2025

3. Still hungry, even after a good meal? Sugar disrupts your signals

You ate lunch, but an hour later you’re hungry again? Sugar disrupts leptin, the hormone that regulates the feeling of satiety. As a result, your body no longer knows when it’s full. To remedy this, favor meals rich in  fiber  and  protein , which will keep you fuller for longer.

4. Your skin is talking to you: breakouts and redness lurking

Acne doesn’t just affect teens! Excess sugar increases inflammation in the body, which can result in blemishes  , redness, or dull skin. Try swapping out sugary foods for  antioxidant -rich foods , like  berries  or  green vegetables .

5. Extra pounds that settle in, especially around the stomach

Empty calories from sugary foods quickly turn into fat, especially around the waistline. This type of fat, called  abdominal fat , is particularly  harmful  because it surrounds internal organs. Opt for healthy snacks like almonds  or  plain  cottage cheese  to avoid sugary snacking.

6. Joint pain: chronic inflammation to blame

If your joints are painful for no apparent reason, sugar could be to blame. It promotes inflammation, making joint pain worse. Reducing your sugar intake can  relieve  these symptoms and improve your mobility.
