I read a book called "sugar blues" some 20 years ago and totally quit white sugar and white flour. I did this "diet" when I was in my 20's and I also bought a broken down race horse who I foxhunted in Pennsylvania. I quickly found out that eliminating sugar and white flour ment that I could eat nothing but raw fruit or vegetables or else an egg for breakfast. Everything else had some offending substance. Even coffee, and worse yet coffee and orenge juice would give me such a kick that I would become shakey and practically spastic. I could eat 1 egg and foxhunt all day long, wearing out two horses but if I had one bite of a candybar I'd be done foxhunting for the day in about 40 minutes. The rest of my day would be botched with a head ache and dizziness.

20 years later I still get that way but I now eat sugar like as if it is nutrition and I'm supporting a nasty skin disorder and have erratic sleep patterns. I'm finding that it is even harder to correct my diet in my 40's than it was in my 20's.
