There is no question that caffeine and sugar, alone or in combination, cause dramatic mood swings, especially in larger quantities. Eliminating them can help with mood in just a few weeks, but their addictive qualities make them difficult to give up.

The brain becomes dependent on the lift from the drug and “forgets” how to function without it. It can take several weeks for the body’s natural processes to take over as the drug is withdrawn. I suggest reducing the amount of caffeine and sugar in your diet over a three week period and keeping a log of your mood as you do. Your goal should be to get to zero and just commit to that for a week to notice the difference it makes for you.
