One question I get a lot when people start changing their diet is: Is ____ normal?
For example…
Is it normal that my face is breaking out? Is it normal that I have extreme gas? Is it normal that I’m going to the “bathroom” 2 times a day?
You might have some of these questions when it comes to this program and now that you have made it this far you might be experiencing detox side effects.
Below I wanted to list out some things I have personally experienced when cutting back on sugar or that other members have experienced.
Sugar Detox Side Effects:
- acne, or breakouts
- bloating
- cold, or flu like symptoms
- gas
- tired
- extreme cravings
- chills
Those mentioned above are more like immediate/short term effects that you may or may not experience.
Now, here are some other effects your more likely to experience, getting better results the longer you stick with a ELS mentality.
Things to look forward to:
- Weight loss
- Clarity
- More Energy
- Bright Complexion
- Less Weight around your Mid Section
- Freedom from the Afternoon Slump
Depending on where your health was when you started this program, your sugar detox effects might look a little different.
We always advise listening to your body, so if you feel discomfort it’s important to note if it’s something serious and unrelated to sugar, or if it’s just a side effect of this process.
