The Truth About Blood Sugar Spikes (And How to Avoid the Crash)
You’ve probably felt it before…
That sudden burst of energy after eating something sweet, followed by a hard crash that leaves you sluggish, foggy, and hungry all over again.
That’s not just in your head—that’s a blood sugar spike and crash, and it happens more often than you think.
What is a Blood Sugar Spike?
When you eat foods high in added sugar or refined carbs (like typical protein bars, pastries, or sugary drinks), your body quickly breaks them down into glucose. That glucose hits your bloodstream fast, causing a sharp rise in blood sugar.
Your body responds by releasing insulin to bring those levels back down—but often, it overcorrects, leaving you feeling:
- Tired or irritable
- Hungry again, even after eating
- Foggy or unfocused
- Craving more sugar
It’s a cycle. And it keeps you chasing energy instead of owning it.
The Long-Term Impact
Frequent blood sugar spikes and crashes can lead to more than just energy dips. Over time, this cycle may contribute to:
- Weight gain
- Insulin resistance
- Type 2 diabetes
- Mood swings and fatigue
In other words, it’s not just about how you feel in the moment—it’s about your long-term health.
