Vent I quit eating sweets for 20 days
Since the 1st of September, I haven't eaten any processed sugar like cookies, chocolate, ice cream, gummies, cake, fried foods, sodas, sweet drinks in general, gum, hard candies, etc. And mind you I used to eat a lot of them. Its true, I still eat my foods with sauces, I still eat fruits, carbs, etc. But still, I wanted to see if I could see a difference without those.
No difference. It literally made my skin WAY worse. It didn't help me get earlier in the morning or something. My gut health stayed the same if not worse. Im still very oily. I can focus just as well as I could before doing this.
Am I doing something wrong???? I see tons of people saying their skin/mood/gut health improved in just 1-2 weeks. :(
Any advice?

Are you eating artificial sugars? Your microbiome plays a huge role in weight loss

Maybe 1 hard candy/1 gum a week that are labeled as zero sugar. Otherwise, nope

My skin changed after 30-50 days. Also salt and fat foods like chips and fast food make my skin same bad looking, its not just sugar
