Candy, soft drinks, and other foods that contain a lot of sugar are quickly digested and absorbed. This dumps a lot of glucose into your bloodstream at once, causing the pancreas to overproduce insulin, which causes blood sugar to drop quickly. Although eating sugary foods will temporarily turn off appetite fast, hunger returns quickly and very strongly. This all disrupts your metabolism. You eat sugar and experience a short-lived exhilaration and energy as your adrenal glands produce the stress hormone adrenaline. This hormone drops quickly, so you feel fatigued. You eat more sugar and rise some, only to drop deeper into exhaustion. Each sugar hit gives you a little bounce, followed by a bigger crash.
