sugar detox
Quitting refined sweeteners
A sugar detox is a period of eliminating or drastically reducing sugar intake, typically lasting days or weeks.
The term borrows from addiction recovery language, treating sugar as a substance the body needs to purge: I'm doing a two-week sugar detox.
Proponents claim benefits ranging from weight loss to improved energy, though the concept is more popular culture than medical science.
