About six years ago, I quit sugar and all refined carbs for a year to see what effects it would have on me (inspired by an athlete friend that did the same).
After about two weeks, my energy level stayed relatively constant all day long – I quit having the mid-afternoon sleepies.
I also stopped getting really hungry. This just about killed my snacking, so definitely a win.
Those were the major effects I noticed, so when my experiment was over, I still kept my sugar intake quite low – but no longer zero – so I will enjoy the occasional dessert, but for the most part, I retained my diet changes.
