Taste bud adaptation . If you eat added sugar frequently, your taste buds will adapt and foods won’t taste as sweet. As a result, you’ll need more and more sugar to feel the same pleasure from eating as before. Plus, the more sugar you eat, the more your brain will become wired to expect it, says Anar Allidina, MPH, a Toronto-based dietitian. Over time, it will be harder to feel happy without sugar.
Sugary foods at the beginning and end of the day . If you wake up and immediately eat something sweet or end your day with sugary foods, you may be consuming too much sugar, says Lisa Andrews, MS, RD, LD, of Sound Bites Nutrition. Baked goods, store-bought coffee drinks, donuts, sports drinks, and other popular breakfast foods can be loaded with sugar.

Constant fatigue, even after sleep . Lack of sleep increases hunger and reduces the feeling of satiety.

More cavities . That’s the warning from Carlette Roberts, BSc, a UK-based dietitian.
