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. (If you haven’t signed up for the next 7 day challenge, you can learn more here).
This 7-day meal plan was designed by Further Food. Got special dietary restrictions? We’ve got your covered! We have developed 2 meal-plans: Meal Plan 1 includes both fish and meat (mostly paleo) and Meal Plan 2 is for vegetarians. 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 get it, 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 Further Food Collagen or Further Food Marine Collagen 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!” Further Food 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.

The recopies looking delicious in that article.
If you are looking for a sugar free diet plan you are on right place. Keep it up nice work.
I’m veg and was all excited to have a meal plan to follow for a week, BUT. Fish is NOT vegetarian. It is still an animal that has to die to be eaten, and therefore it’s meat.
Kate: Thanks for the comment. You can modify any recipes by omitting or adding in proteins like tofu, tempeh or beans. We also have lots of vegetarian/vegan nosugar recipes on Further Food.
After getting in the ingredients I am more fascinated now to cook them. I am a vegetarian, I love the fact that you allow vegetarians to make it. 😀 thanks
While I was reading these recipes, I think they will be so tasty and filling. Bread is my problem food. i dont think Ill miss it at all. There is so much variety.
I didn’t day 3 detox email, I day 4 today, but I
Can’t start it , because I’m missing day 3.
I’m 72 years old and trying to get in better health, so far I think this program is great.
So please email day3. Thank you
Your stuff sounds delicious but I for one I’m not rich and secondly I would never eat any of that. I mostly live on salad, fruit and ice cream and I’m trying to cut out ice cream.
When you design a meal plan for a diet be a use that’s really what we’re doing is dieting. It needs to be simple and easy. The best diet I have tried so far was the cabbage soup diet.
Thank you for your feedback Cory. We tried to design our meal plans with cost in mind, including providing for leftovers. You can also pick and choose and make only some of the recipes. And salad is on the menu!
