After a night of eating sweets, nutrition experts say that there is no need to detox or fast, just return to a balanced lifestyle.

According to EatingWell, nutrition experts believe that this reaction is unnecessary, and may even be harmful. Excessive dieting after eating a lot of sugar easily causes the body to fall into a cycle: eating too much and then fasting again, negatively affecting health and psychology.

Nutritionist Marissa Beck (USA) said that instead of fasting or extreme cuts, people should return to a normal eating schedule with nutritious meals. This helps stabilize blood sugar, limit sweet cravings and support long-term health.

A nutritious breakfast, especially rich in protein and fiber, is considered an important factor. Skipping breakfast to compensate for the sugar consumed from the previous day can make the body more tired and easier to eat more in the following meals.

Experts also recommend maintaining reasonable main meals and snacks, drinking enough water and light exercise such as walking. According to expert Lisa Andrews (USA), gentle activities help the body feel more comfortable, while supporting blood sugar control and improving spirit.

In addition, keeping a comfortable mental state is also very important. “Eating is not right or wrong in terms of ethics. Eating a lot of sugar a day does not determine your health,” expert Alexis Silver emphasized.

Experts agree that health depends on long-term eating and living habits, not just one meal or a day of eating a lot of sweets. It is essential to listen to the body, take care of yourself and maintain a balanced lifestyle.
