Sugar is a powerful substance, and if you’ve been fueling your body on mostly Twinkies and cupcakes, the detox from it is going to be a rude awakening.
Sugar detox is a real thing. In fact, when you quit sugar, you can expect your body to go into a serious phase of withdrawal including fatigue, anxiety and irritability, depression and detachment, rapid heart rate and palpitations, and poor sleep. In honor of you brave ones determined to forge healthier new lifestyles, we rounded up some guilt free treats to help you curb those crazy-making cravings and survive this new sugar-free frontier.

Trader Joe’s Fruit Soft And Juicy Mango ($20)-Dried mango snacks deliver the sweet hit you’re looking for, and will keep you busy chewing all day long. Although they have natural fruit sugar, the fiber actually slows down your body’s digestion of glucose so you don’t get the crazy insulin spike or subsequent crash.
