Sugar Detox
My 5 “Tips” to Detox
- C lean House. Remove sugary foods from the home and office, out of site, out of mind.
- Plan Plan Plan. Make a meal plan that includes snacks. Don’t underestimate potential cravings. Don’t forget to ALWAYS have a PLAN B
- Drink Water. Stay hydrated to be sure when you think you’re hungry it’s not actually dehydration.
- Sleep. Get enough sleep to prevent cravings due to exhaustion and irritability.
- Exercise. Get your body moving in order to get re-focused. Yoga, a brisk walk or maybe some “Just Dance” will distract you from cravings.

LIVING A GLUTEN-FREE & (Mostly) PALEO LIFE 
great tips! but why not eating fruits? Because of the natural sugars in it?
Yes, the main reason for eliminating even fruit is due to their natural sugars. I LOVE oranges so that above all other things, was the hardest. However, on the “program” you’re allowed either 1 green apple or 1 green tipped banana a day. I made apple slaw, coconut fried apple, apple with bacon, banana pudding… 😉
The point was to get use not having so many sweets in your daily diet and it helped. Had a bite of a paleo cupcake yesterday and it was just too much.
Ahh well that’s pretty impressive! I’m trying to reduce intake of sugars aswell, but I NEED fruit in stead of those other artifical sweetness around me, Im just so happy that fruit exist, otherwise I would’nt make it through the day haha!
But keep up the good work! xx (eating a clementine now haha)
