The combination of sugar and low fiber can cause your energy levels to spike and then crash. Furthermore, there is evidence that a diet high in added sugars might make you crave even more sugary foods. That can easily lead to a vicious cycle that saps your vitality and makes you dependent on sugary foods.
However, if you like your morning sweet treat, make sure to choose low-sugar cereals with at least 4 to 5 grams of fiber per serving to prevent feeling sluggish after eating them.
Let’s not forget about flavored yogurts, juices, muffins, granola bars, and even certain varieties of bread. These are some common morning items that tend to have high amounts of added sugar. Avoid them if you want to have energy all day!
