What really happens when you quit sugar for 14 days? Harvard-trained gut doctor shares how the body starts changing

A Harvard-trained gastroenterologist, Dr Saurabh Sethi, says cutting out added sugar for just 14 days can trigger meaningful metabolic changes without extreme dieting. In an Instagram report, he explains how sugar fuels cravings, insulin disruption and liver fat. While initial days may bring discomfort, benefits soon include steadier energy, reduced bloating, improved sleep and better glucose control, marking a metabolic reset rather than weight loss.
