Welcome to the forum bropretay
I know it's tough to power through. Don't worry that sluggish feeling is normal...it's your body switching from burning carbs for energy to burning fat. Sugar detox is rough to get through sometimes. Every one of us is a little different so some will last longer than others. The problem with slipping in the beginning is that more times than not it sets back with the detox process. Once on the other side, your energy will increase and no longer have those cravings. Until then I would say to ask yourself if you are truly hungry. But let’s face it...in the beginning it's hard to learn new habits while you are detoxing. This is what helped me to get through....
1. Try to stick with the 0 carb items to snack on to get you through those times of boredom…. I just have to have something snacking times.
2. Drink some 0 carb beef, chicken or vegetable broth to help with the lack of salt intake that you are no longer getting from all the processed food.
3. Plan, plan, plan....being prepared is your best defense to word off slips.
4. Carry nuts, beef sticks, pork rinds...whatever is easy when you are leaving your house. That way you are prepared for snack times on the go and don't come home starving and ready to eat anything.
5. Drink lots of fresh cool water...it helps flush your body and keeps you hydrated
6. Carry sugar free hard candies for when you might need something sweet.
7. Last but not least come here when you need some encouragement...we are always here
