What to Do After You've Eaten Too Much Sugar

At Cooking Light, we think you should have treats in moderation (read: a fun-sized packet of Skittles or an occasional donut is totally fair game). But there’s something about Halloween that makes us want to binge eat anything with sugar and throw healthy eating completely out the window. The problem is that when you eat candy by the fistful, your body can take a major hit (and we're not just talking added calories). If you’re a sweets lover, you’ve probably experienced a stomachache, felt shaky, or crashed after a particularly large serving of sugar. Struggling to cook healthy? We'll help you prep. Sign up for our new weekly newsletter, ThePrep, for inspiration and support for all your meal plan struggles. SIGN UP Cooking Light's Food and Nutrition Director, Brierley Horton, MS, RD, explains: "When you binge on the sweet stuff, your body breaks sugar into glucose, which is released into your bloodstream. As a response, your body then releases insulin to help bring your sugar levels back down and help your cells 'mop it up'. Whatever sugar your body doesn't use gets stored as fat." Horton also adds that eating too much sugar can make your blood sugar levels spike—making you feel hungry and craving more sugary foods—so ending the cycle is key. If you’ve hit the candy a little hard today, here’s what to do.

Eat some protein and fiber

Stabilize your blood sugar by eating some slow-digesting protein and fiber. If you don't, your blood sugar will crash and you'll potentially feel hungry and want to eat again. Great snack options are an apple and nut butter, a hard boiled egg and pistachios, or hummus and veggies.

Go to a yoga class

Eighty percent of people say they eat more sweets when they're stressed out. A recent study by the University of California, Davis, found that when stressed women drank a sugary beverage, their body's response to stress was tempered. Translation? Tame your stress, tame your sweet tooth.

Prep a healthy meal for later

Eating sweets makes you crave more not-so-good for you food. Throw a healthy meal in your slow cooker for later so that you won't be tempted to order takeout or swing through a drive-through.

How many steps in a mile?

2,000 steps

An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles. A sedentary person may only average 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day. For these people adding steps has many health benefits. Wearing a pedometer or fitness tracker is an easy way to track your steps each day. Start by wearing the pedometer every day for one week. Put it on when you get up in the morning and wear it until bedtime. Record your daily steps in a log or notebook. By the end of the week you will know your average daily steps. You might be surprised how many, or how few, steps you get in each day. A reasonable goal is to increase average daily steps each week by 500 per day until you can easily average 10,000 per day. Example: If you currently average 3000 steps each day, your goal for week one is 3500 each day. Your goal week two is 4000 each day. Continue to increase each week and you should be averaging 10,000 steps by the end of 14 weeks.1
