A one time episode of heavy sugar intake should not affect you for more than a few hours, unless you are diabetic. You are right to take in low amounts of sugar daily as regular intake of sugar is very bad for your health!

Although it is a good idea to have it sugar and take as much as possible, a one time sugar binge is not going to cause any long-term health deficits, assuming that you are not a diabetic. Continue trying to limit your sugar as you have been doing. Good luck.
