  • Thought I'd give some medical input into this discussion. If you cut out coffee and sugar 2 weeks ago, and you've been fine up to a couple days ago you are unlikely to be in withdrawal. When are the dips of energy in the day? Or is it just a constant tiredness? You are either coming down with something or you should modify…
