So starting on Saturday (consequently the same day we move :/) I am starting a 21-Day Sugar Detox. I like to think that sugar (in any forms, whether it be carbs, refined sugar, or natural sugar) and I have a healthy relationship, but we don’t. As much as I like to ignore the fact that I am a sugar-aholic, I can’t anymore.For some they go for salty things, like chips or fries, me, I can’t turn down cake! Sugar releases an opiate-like response in your brain which causes it to become addictive. Sugar activates those “pleasure sensors” that make you feel good when you eat it, hence why so many people can’t give it up. We just “feel good” eating it. But the reality is, it causes unnecessary weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, tooth decay, diabetes, blood sugar spikes, the list goes on. So, to get me back on track, I’m doing this detox. Each week I’ll post my meal plan, for those of you who are interested. I’ll also be blogging about my experience with it. I don’t think many of you actually will care about my withdrawals from sugar :D, but it will help keep me on track.
Here is my first weeks Meal-Plan.
