If eliminating added sugars is something you want to do, go ahead. You won't hurt anything.

If you think that the added sugars in your diet are causing a 'spike and crash' cycle, you should consider the benefits of eating low glycemic index foods as the diabetics do.

However, the first thing to consider is your sleep pattern. Are you getting enough good sleep every day?

Sugar is sugar, whether it's in fruit or added to other items

For how long? Is it just a day or two then the tiredness goes away? If so, I think that's pretty common. If it's longer term than that, you have to decide if the tiredness is worth it. (I wouldn't. If I can have energy with moderate sugar intake, I consider that better than being exhausted with no added sugar in my diet.)

I've cut out all sugars but whole fruits and I feel fantastic. I sweated profusely in my sleep for 3 days or so, and after that, I felt better and better! To do some reading on that specifically, check out the Whole30 site, and if you would like to do some deeper reading into it, check out the book The Case Against Sugar. You'll want to cut it out after that for sure.

This. Vegetables are more important IMO than fruit. (Sugars are also in dairy, sweet potatoes, and lots of other things, even a bit in nuts and eggs.)

But if you want to, no biggie.

I doubt it's making you tired (are you cutting caffeinated drinks? that would make you tired). If you are cutting sugars but keeping in starches (bread, rice, pasta, etc.), then it's basically the same to your body. If you mean you are going really low carb, yeah, sometimes there's an adjustment period and you might find you have less energy for a bit (for some this lasts and means that low carbing doesn't work for them).

As a former T2 diabetic, try this trick. When you eat a small carb (fruit, bread, cracker, or whatever) also have a little protein with it too. Like apple with peanut butter, or celery with a laughing cow wedge. I don't get nearly as sleepy when I combine my macros in the single snack.
