Congrats! You’ve joined the Further Food Sugar Detox Challenge and committed to going sugar-free for seven days, and we’re going to make saying “no” to sugar a cinch. We’re arming you with an easy-to-follow, sugar-free meal plan and simple, delicious recipe ideas that you’ll want to eat again and again. Learn about our NEW 10 Day Sugar Detox Plan here.
For 2018, we’ve made our 7-day meal plans better than ever, with all new easy to make recipes. Got special dietary restrictions? We’ve got you covered! We have 2 meal-plan options: one meal plan is geared towards the paleo and meat lovers and the other meal plan is for vegetarians (noted as meal plan 2(V) in the meal plan below). BOTH are gluten-free. They are meant to inspire and guide you, but you can find easy recipe substitutions in our recipe database that can be searched by over 30 dietary restrictions. Be prepared for the first two or three days to be a challenge. You will experience cravings, but don’t give up. By Day 4 you’re going to feel more energized and balanced.
Don't feel the need to follow this meal plan to a T. We know you’re busy. So when you’re not cooking, just be smart in buying no-sugar options. See our infographic of YES and NO foods to guide you, and if you have questions, leave a comment below and one of our experts will answer.
Several recipes in these meal plans include Collagen Protein as an ingredient. As a veteran sugar detox health coach, Julie Fischer, puts it: “I'm so pleased to have finally found a clean protein powder to recommend to my sugar detox clients. Further Food Collagen is all natural, grassfed, paleo, free of gluten, dairy, sugar and soy, and dissolves completely with no gritty taste. It's a welcome addition to my morning routine!” Collagen protein powder will also keep you 40% more satiated than whey or soy protein, helping keep you full and curb sugar cravings. Learn more here. However, collagen is an optional ingredient, so feel free to leave it out.
