1. Cravings, Cravings and More Cravings
There can be a probability that out of odd you have started craving more sugar and that is not usual.
This increasing sugar craving begins to kick in, especially when a person is eating more sugar.
The cycle works like this: The more you consume sugar, the more you will crave it.
So watch out for the addictive, vicious cycle.
2. Have you been feeling more sluggish recently?
Heard about the fact that what goes up has to come down . . . just like economy?!
Lame example but you got the point. Similarly, it is no different from sugar.

Yeah, you guessed it right and that is how you end up feeling sluggish.
Eating sugar also means that you are not consuming enough fiber and protein, the nutrients vital for sustaining energy, as all the space gets filled up by this ingredient.

5. Always hungry = Weight Gain
The best point! There is not a hole of doubt and everyone knows it but fails to acknowledge. Excess sugar = Excess calories. The cool part is that sugary items are devoid of any fiber and protein the nutrients which own the ability to make you feel fuller. Thus even with that eleventh bar of chocolate and 12th scoop of ice cream, you will be like, “ What’s in for the meal!?”
More sugar consumption signals the brain to release more insulin hormone. This hormone is responsible for carrying sugar to the right organs but its excessive production due to excessive sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance. This insulin resistance would not allow the body to use sugar the right way, without doubt, leading to weight gain.
6. Struck with cavities lately

“I must utilize my savings, time to hit dermatologist for the premature wrinkles!”
If this is the sign and feelings you are experiencing then high sugar consumption has done this to you. You need to bear in mind that high-sugar is bound to boost the skin aging process.
Why? Well, let’s refer to science here.
When sugar reacts with proteins present in the bloodstream it forms advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Sugar + Protein = Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs).
This advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) tend to damage the protein present in the skin collagen which makes your skin bouncy.

Are you lately getting into an embarrassing situation where frequent urination is forcing you to hit the loo more than often?
Well, again that high blood sugar level is not allowing the kidney to reabsorb the fluid.
14. Dry mouth & Excessive thirst
“Frequent urination” means “severe fluid loss” which then causes “strong thirst” consequently to a “dry mouth” and “blurred vision”.
So you get the chain! BRAVO.

The last sign talk. If you have been experiencing slow healing of wounds & cuts then this can surely happen due to vascular damage.
