Before we begin our 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge, it's important to do a little cleaning out of your trigger foods.
I know it isn't the most exciting assignment, but once you have some temptations out of sight, you'll be less liking to be tempted.
I want you to remove, give away or throw away any packaged foods that have sugar listed within the 1st five ingredients. I realize many of you may have family members and children that want all these snacks and you can not realisitically throw them away. Ask your spouse to remove them to another place in the house so you don't have to look at anything that would be tempting to you when you begin the detox.
I think the biggest thing to replace might be favorite condiments. Primal Kitchen brand is one of the only brands I know of that use healthy avocado oil and no sugar in their products. You can find some Primal Kitchen condiments and dressings at Walmart and you can order online.
Here are some of my favorites:
Some other products you might like to replace pasta is Shiritaki Noodles, or use zucchini as noodles. You could also try Hearts of Palm. Here is a great low carb, no sugar added marinara sauce, but I also have a quick marinara recipe on my website if you feel like making it at home.
Basically, you will be eating whole foods during this detox. Focus your food shopping on whole proteins, fresh low carb vegetables or frozen for convenience and healthy fats to cook with, like avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, butter, etc. Canned tuna, salmon, sardines and even canned oysters are great for salads!
You can do this and you will be much better able to detox from sugar when you can't see those packaged carbage snacks!
