Tomorrow begins week 1 of the sugar detox, get excited! I based our meal plan on The 21 Day Sugar Detox book by Diane Sanfilippo but simplified and rearranged it a bit for our small family. The author has 7 different dinners and 2 lunches in week 1 and they all serve at least 4 people so I plan to have us stretch things out a little bit and only do 5 different dinners and 1 lunch – with lots of leftover eating. For breakfasts I’m only doing 2 different meals split up between the 7 days rather than her 3 separate meals – I am doubling one recipe to make that happen though. I also simplified some of the snacks because I just don’t have time to make the 5 separate snack recipes that she has in week 1!

If you’re interested in seeing the full recipes, I recommend purchasing the book (https://www.amazon.com/21-Day-Sugar-Detox-Cravings-Naturally/dp/1936608111)

or even just visiting Diane Sanfilippo’s website (https://balancedbites.com/21dsd/).

She has a TON of free recipes, strategies for managing cravings, links to coaches, videos and even a podcast. Once we get through the first 21 days, I am SURE I will want to find more recipes and support for keeping the lifestyle going.

But without further ado…

Here is our week 1 plan – let’s do this!
