3. You have sweet cravings
Yeah: sugar makes you crave more sugar. Its effects are addictive: sugar spike causes the release of dopamine, the “happy hormone”. As the effect wears off, your body wants another fix — that’s just the way we’re built. Same as with other addictions, your body slowly develops tolerance to the substance in question, and therefore, the more you consume, the more you want. The result? Even when you’re not hungry, you just feel like something sweet.
