Sugar Detox Time! Who Wants To Join Me?
It’s no secret that I’m a sugarholic (I have to have something sweet after shoveling savory ish in mah face—and it’s gotten out of control)! If you peep my Instagram feed, it’s flooded with the hashtag #sugarfiend. I’ve decided that I’m going to detox from sugar for at least 21 days with the goal of ridding all processed sugars from my diet for good! Tiffany from CrueltyFreeMoms.com is taking the challenge with me, and I invite you to join us as we kick sugar’s sweet (and Satanic) ass!
The Deets:
What: SUGAR DETOX
Why: Did you know studies have shown sugar to be more addictive that cocaine?! Sugar also feeds cancer cells, promotes jiggly belly rolls, increases yeasty growth downstairs (you do the math!), and CAUSES WRINKLES (Oh hellllls NO!!)
Start date: July 29 (Feel free to binge on vegan cinnamon rolls and Dandies the night before as a last hurrah.)
Not allowed: Agave (yep, agave!), sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, succanat, turbinado sugar, malt, corn sweeteners, brown rice syrup, artificial sweeteners (e.g. Splenda), etc.
Acceptable sources of sweetness: Stevia, fruit, raw coconut nectar, pure maple syrup, xylitol, erythritol
For more info: Check out Kimberly Snyder’s The Beauty Detox Foods (with recipes, y’all!) – I read this book and got mega inspired to change the way I eat!
I’ll be keepin’ y’all updated on my progress and hopefully posting recipes for sweet, non-sugary treats. Stay tuned, and definitely feel free to join the sugar-free par-tay! Also, if you have any tips, recipes, book recommendations, etc., that you’d like to share with me, please do! 🙂
