7 Signs you're eating too much sugar

• Premature ageing. Excessive sugar consumption can cause long-term damage to skin proteins, collagen and elastin, leading to premature wrinkles and ageing.
• Constant cravings.
• Low energy.
• Unexplained bloating.
• Weakened immune system.
• Insomnia.
• Weight gain.

Secondly, what happens when you eat a lot of sugar at once? "The problem is when people have too much sugar at once, there's a large release of insulin and you can develop hypoglycemia or insulin resistance." With insulin resistance, your body cannot properly absorb the glucose fast enough, which causes the glucose to build up in your bloodstream and liver.
