Hi my name is Becky, and I am addicted to sugar. This is something that I hope many of you do not share in common with me. However, many Americans do share this with me. We are a nation addicted to sugar. It is hidden in almost all of our prepared foods that we consume. It is the reason we want to consume more of those foods. Even being on a paleo style diet for the last good half of a year, I am still struggling with sugar cravings. I rely heavily on "paleo treats" and on my cheat meals or days I consume chocolate, candy, and GF treats.
How do I reset myself? How do I stop these cravings? Will I always be a sugar junkie? I was directed to the website:http://balancedbites.com/category/21-day-sugar-detox by a friend. (Thank you Julie)
I found the entire 21 day plan to help me detox my body from the sugars I am craving. It includes recipes and tips, along with daily motivational emails.
This weekend is preparation for the upcoming first week of the detox. April 1st is Detox Day. I have decided to commit to this like nothing I have ever done before. I am cooking up recipes, making snacks, and brewing green tea to help keep me on track and never wondering what to eat.
A few things I will be trying this week include: homemade beef jerky, bacon wrapped chicken legs, savory muffins, garlic dill carrots and zucchini, almonds, and burgers with onions. Along with 1 green apple per day.
I am attempting to break this down into smaller sections and look at this as weekly. That way I can set myself up for a successful week each weekend. A few of my goals with this program are: to help me not crave sugar, better focus at work and in the gym, better sleep, and clearing up my skin. I will be posting blogs regularly on how this program is going for me. Please support me and cheer me on as I start my 21 day journey of getting sugar out of my regular diet!
