Trick-or-treaters and Halloween partygoers consume a terrifying amount of sugar, so the hours afterwards can feel a little strange. A typical child collects 3,500 to 7,000 calories in candy on the spooky holiday, one public health expert estimated. Adults help themselves, too, from their kids' stash or at grown-up festivities. To recover from a sugar binge, drink plenty of water to help your body naturally flush some of the sugar out of the system and take a walk to help you burn energy faster. When you're ready to eat again, fuel your body with low-carb foods that contain fiber, protein and healthy fats such as peanut butter and apple slices, or hummus and veggie sticks.
