Our Sugar Addiction

The American Heart Association advises women limit added sugars to 25 grams

(about 6 teaspoons) a day and men to 37.5 grams (about 9 teaspoons) a day. Research

also shows that people in Western countries are eating on average about 35 teaspoons

of sugar a day! This is because it’s hidden in almost all the foods we buy from the

supermarket, not straight out of the sugar bowl! We need to take a sensible approach to

sugars in our diet.

People opt for a no sugar diet for a variety of reasons; to lose weight, manage

diabetes, lower cholesterol and blood pressure or to get more energy. By eating

more natural foods high in nutrition, it will be possible to cut the cravings and feel

satisfied. When you learn to remove harmful high sugar, high carb foods from your

diet, and also substitute natural sugar foods in moderation your body will love you for

it!

Removing sugar from your diet is the quickest way to lose fat and increase your

energy levels. Out of balance blood sugar levels can cause depression which

encourages the body to store sugar as fat instead of using it for energy. The sugar detox

plan aims to remove sugars and simple carbohydrates from your diet. Your skin and

mental focus will benefit too! We will be detoxifying or cleansing important organs of

the body such as the liver, kidneys and colon of accumulated wastes and toxins.

The cravings for sugar will start subsiding after about 4 - 7 days in most people,

but the longer you stay off sugar, the easier it gets. The detox will correct or stabilize

your sugar levels, then you can add some fruits and healthy wholegrain breads back

into your diet.

It's not possible to see added sugars in teaspoons on packaging during manufacturing,

but the Nutrition Facts label on a food can help us to identify added sugars. Look for

common sweeteners such as sugar, corn syrup, dextrose and honey.

Many of us have become trapped in the modern food cycle of eating sugary foods

without a second though. We can feel depressed and don't know how to get off the

"sugar ride". The good news is that quitting sugar and detoxifying the body is

e asy. The physical dependence on sugar can be eliminated in only five to seven

days by avoiding sugar and sugary foods altogether. The bad news is that during these

five to seven days sugar cravings can be very intense. You will learn tips how to quit

sugar and beat the cravings. Once you have knowledge how to identify unhealthy

sugary foods you can easily plan your journey on a sugar-free lifestyle. You will also

discover what to expect during the sugar detox phase.

Diet After Detox

Artificial sweeteners aren't really a healthy long term solution to removing sugar

either because you want to re train your taste buds. Also, using large amounts of

artificial sweeteners may lead to adverse health side effects. You will start finding

that artificial sweeteners taste horrible and way too sweet! Stevia and Agave seem to

be popular natural plant based sweeteners around right now, however Agave is very

high in fructose. It is surely better to be eating small amounts of natural honey and

maple syrup in moderation for example (after detox) rather than eating loads of

unhealthy "sugar free" supermarket foods that are laden with artificial sweeteners.

Some common sense has to come into play. Moderation is key, however you won't be

craving sugar like you did before detox, so you will only want limited sweetness.

Don't forget too that many recipes can be adapted by reducing sugar and substituting

sugar for prunes, honey, maple syrup or dates for example. If you have the time, it is

better to cook your own foods so you know what goes into each recipe! Your

homemade recipes will be free of all those added sugars, chemical additives and

preservatives!

Check Nutritional Information on food labels for Total Carbohydrates as well as

Sugars. Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. Carbohydrates fall

generally into two categories: sugars and starches. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate,

and starches, which are complex carbohydrates, break down into blood sugar also

known as glucose. Consuming too many carbohydrates can quickly spike blood

sugar levels which may cause problems over time. Monitoring and maintaining

carbohydrate intake is key to blood sugar control. Foods high in sugary carbohydrates

include sugary beverages, desserts, dried fruits, sweets, candy, honey and high sugar

fruits. Foods high in starchy carbohydrates include starchy vegetables, flour based

foods including cereals, peas and beans to a lesser extent, and whole grains such as

white rice, barley, oats and quinoa. As these foods have high nutritional value as a

positive, limit them and eat in moderation. Cut out or strictly limit amounts of brown

rice and quinoa during the strict detox phase. Eat as many green vegetables as you

desire.

How to Read Food Labels

Locate the "Nutritional Information" on the food packaging. Look for "Total

Carbohydrates" and "Sugars" as both these will be indicated there. (Incidentally,

Trans fats are the unhealthy fats) Remember Fructose and Corn Syrup are some of

the worst offenders! Your goal is to aim for foods lower that 5g if possible. Analyze

the sugar per 100g because per serving varies from product to product.

The goal for diabetics, whether or not they use insulin, is to keep their blood sugar as

steady as possible and to maximize their intake of nutritious carbs and minimize

consumption of less nutritious foods. A starting place for diabetics is to have roughly

45 to 60g of carbs per meal and 15 to 30g for snacks. Consult your doctor. Read more

here about counting carbs.

What is an Acceptable Amount of Sugar?

High – over 22g of total sugars per 100g

Low – 5g of total sugars or less per 100g

*If the amount of sugars per 100g is between these figures, then levels of sugar match

accordingly.

*The sugar amount in the nutrition label is the total amount of sugars in the food. It

includes added sugars and sugars from ingredients such as fruits and milk. Eggs

incidentally have around 1g of sugar per 100g (depending if they are cooked) so these

are wonderful nutritional packs straight from nature!

Check the Total Carbohydrates

Carbs are the complex part of sugar so they need to be watched as well. For example

quinoa may have only 0.9g of sugar per 100g, but has 64g of total carbs! It is also

however high in fibre, so this is where a balanced diet full of a variety of natural

foods in your best option for health and weight loss. Moderation is the key when

Page 9: No Sugar Diet-Complete 7 Day Sugar Detox For Beginners

eating high carb or high sugar foods. In saying that, all "junk" foods need to be

removed altogether as they have virtually no nutritional value whatsoever!

What is an Acceptable Amount of Carbohydrates?

As a guide, if you eat about 2,000 calories a day, you should consume about

250g of complex carbohydrates per day. That's about 1/8th.

Another example is an average slice of bread. It = approx. 15 grams or 1 serving

of carbohydrate. Although white and wheat bread have a very similar carbohydrate content depending on the brands and labels of course, whole-wheat bread is often best. It usually has

more than twice the amount of fiber as white bread, meaning you digest it more

slowly, hence your blood sugar will rise more gradually after eating it. Go here to get

sugar and carb count for breads.

Here is an example of a food label that doesn't display sugar per 100g. Always

analyze the sugars and total carbs PLUS observe if it's only per Serving Size.

Let's look at the following "health bar" packet. It is high in sugars at 25g and that's not

even per 100g but per serving size which is 1 bar! Not healthy, but a way to make it

appear that there is less sugar. Also note 33g of total carbohydrates. Learn more here

about food nutrition.

Low Sugar Vegetables

Here is a link to do your own research about how much sugar and carbs are in

vegetables (select from the drop down box)

Broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale, zucchini and greens are very good.

Check out my Sugar Free Recipes Book on Amazon for a detailed look at the problem

with Fructose, plus loads more healthy recipes to give you quick meal options.

After detox, use this link to do thorough searches of your own on how much sugar and

carbs is in fruit (Just select a fruit from the drop down box)

Raspberries, strawberries, limes, under ripe bananas, rhubarb and lemons are

low in natural sugar. However during the detox phase stay off fruit with the

exception being; avocado, tomato, unsweetened coconut water (in moderation)

and lemon or lime.

Sugar Smart Tips

This Paleo book shows you how and why to eat natural, sugar free foods instead of

processed foods, and it offers a healthy everyday food list of sugar, dairy and flour

alternatives.

*Plan ahead so you don't waste food. Eat all perishable foods in the lead up to the

start of the 7 day detox.

*Remove all sugary foods from the pantry and fridge that you won't be using

during the detox plan.

*"Listen" to your taste buds! If something tastes very sweet, it probably is. Your

taste buds will learn to detect sugary foods and drinks.

*Foods advertised as "low fat" often have more sugar, so check labels. Aim for

high fibre, low sugar products but beware "lite" dairy products. During the 7 day

sugar detox, it's best to eliminate all dairy. Coconut water is a good substitute in

drinks and smoothies. After this use unsweetened milks, unsweetened almond milk and

coconut milk / coconut water.

*Don't eat fruit: During the detox phase don't eat fruit as most are moderate to

high in natural sugars. Eat avocados, lemons and limes freely. Eat tomatoes and

under ripe bananas in very limited moderation. Once detox is over, aim to eat 1 - 2

pieces of fruit daily. Fruit is full of fibre and nutrients, so it's important not to

eliminate it altogether.

*Don't eat dressings and sauces. Remove store bought dressings, juices and

sauces from your diet. Instead opt for homemade salad dressings using olive oil and

a squeeze of lemon. Natural Greek yoghurt after detox is good.

*Eggs are IN. Eggs have hardly any sugar raw; up to around 1g of sugar per 100g

depending on how you eat them cooked. They are nature's little "nutrient packs" so eat

these freely during detox. Maybe raise some chickens in your own back yard! This is a

wonderful way of recycling your food scraps and getting food and fertilizer in return!

Page 14: No Sugar Diet-Complete 7 Day Sugar Detox For Beginners

*Don't drink alcohol or fruit juices during the 7 day detox. Alcohol and juices have

many hidden sugars and preservatives. Instead opt for lots of water, black herbal tea

and coffee (in moderation) You can use a little coconut water in meal preparation as a

sweetener if required.

*Consider breakfast. Try eating a low GI healthy breakfast such as eggs

accompanied with mushrooms, bacon or tomato, an omelette or a smoothie.

*Talk to your Doctor, Nutritionist or Dietician. They can help you set out a food

plan that's right for you.

How to Quit Sugar & Beat Cravings

There are many good reasons to quit sugar. Sugar can give us a short term

energy boost, but it comes at a hefty price often making us feel tired and moody

unless, of course, we get more sugar, and thus creating the vicious cycle of sugar

addiction. On top of that, sugar makes us more likely to store fat. Sometimes it can

cause inflammation, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer.

Balance Sugar Levels to Beat Cravings

Eat more protein

Eat more complex carbs

Eat more healthy fats

Eat more fibre

Eat more essential fatty acids

Remove simple carbs and sugar

Cold Turkey Detox Plan

It will take about 5 - 7 days to detox and rid your body of sugar. This is why you

have a 7 day food plan included. Stop eating all forms of sugar, dairy, alcohol,

flour products and artificial sweeteners through this intense detox phase. You

need to re train your taste buds. Eat natural foods and stay clear of processed

packaged foods.

Remove Sugar Products

Remove unwanted foods from your pantry and cupboards if you don't want to have

them in sight. Remove all forms of sugary foods including sweets, candy, dairy,

alcohol, flour products and artificial sweeteners from fridge and pantry. If you

have lots of fruit for example, you may want to start the detox plan after using up fresh

foods so they don't go to waste.

Stock Up on 7 Day Detox Foods

Go shopping and stock up on your essential items in preparation for the detox

phase . Buy plenty of low sugar vegetables, greens and meats for salads and cooked

veggies at night. Buy unsalted nuts and other ingredients for the recipes you want to

use. Eat unlimited non starchy veggies as suggested.

Page 16: No Sugar Diet-Complete 7 Day Sugar Detox For Beginners

Drink Plenty of Water

Remove all drinks from your diet that have sugar in them during the detox phase;

Juices, sodas, hot sugary beverages and alcohol. Did you know that water not only

hydrates our body but also helps dilute and flush out toxins? This is wonderful when

trying to detox your body of excess salts and sugars in the bloodstream. Your will

urinate more often and your stomach will feel better too. Drink 6 – 8 glasses a day.

Start with one first thing each morning to get your kidneys active. Similarly, drinking

black herbal or black coffee with no sugar or milk is okay.Try adding some lemon for a

twist. It's refreshing and great for weight loss. Coconut water is another good low

sugar alternative coming in at about 3g sugar per 100g. Only use in moderation during

detox.

Eat Low Sugar Vegetables

Eat at least 5 servings of vegetables per day that are low in sugar. The best are the

non starchy veggies such as collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, celery,

spinach, mushrooms, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, fennel, eggplant and peppers for

example. Remove the starchy varieties such as potatoes, peas and corn.

Eat Healthy Foods

Foods with high protein and healthy fats such as eggs, nuts, natural meats and tofu are

great for satisfying hunger and giving energy. Vegetables with complex carbohydrates

keep you satiated for much longer.

Eat Regularly

One of your main goals when quitting sugar is keeping yourself satisfied with

foods and keep your metabolism kicking along. If you skip meals, it is more likely that

you would give into temptation of getting a quick sugar boost. It is easier to control

what you eat, if you do it every three to five hours. This strategy will keep your blood

sugar stable.

Eat Nutritious Foods

In other words, fill up on good quality nutritious foods rather than high calorie

"junk" foods. Making natural food Paleo recipes follow these principles. Your

cravings will stop because you will be satisfied.

The first steps to something new are always the hardest, but once you get used to

eating low sugar foods, you will feel more energized and more healthy. You will be

more in control of what you eat, and even if you eat a small sugary treat once in a

while you won't feel guilty.

Page 17: No Sugar Diet-Complete 7 Day Sugar Detox For Beginners

Read Sugar Content on Labels

Manufacturers add sugar to many products, where we wouldn't imagine. For example,

almost all ketchup brands contain sugar. Many reduced-fat products make up for the

lack of fat with added sugar. When reading a label on a food item, pay attention to the

different types of sugars like corn syrup, brown sugar, maple syrup, etc. This way

manufacturers can avoid listing sugar as one of the main ingredients. Beware corn

syrup, dextrose and honey (although honey is at least natural). If they are near the

top of an ingredient list this will signal that there is a high amount of added sugar

in the product.

The Low Sugar Myth

It might be okay in choosing unsweetened milks such as almond milk for example,

but you will need to read labels when shopping because low fat products can be

loaded with sugars to put some "taste" back in. A classic example of this is in

foods such as low fat yoghurts, low fat creams, ice cream and cookies. This from

WebMD is an interesting read which sums it up well. Sauces and dressings can also

be high in sugars which seems surprising. So read labels.

Also, carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy and during digestion,

sugar which is simple carbohydrates, and starches which are complex

carbohydrates, break down into blood sugar also known as glucose. Consuming too

much food that is high in carbohydrates quickly can spike blood sugar levels which

may cause problems over time. Monitoring and maintaining carbohydrate intake is key

to blood sugar control.

Potato is a classic example. It has under 1g of sugar per 100 g, but has about 20g

of carbs. Lentils have about 2g of sugar but 60g of carbs! So does this mean we

must never eat lentils or potatoes...I'd say heck no unless you have a specific dietary

reason. Many natural foods have other important nutrition benefits that counter balance

the negatives. We live in a modern world so just have a few on occasion, not a plate

full at once! Think in terms of balance and moderation. Talk to your dietician or

doctor if you have concerns and want to learn more.

Sugar and Carb Count in Everyday Foods

Sugar and Carbohydrates in Common Foods per 100g:

Foods that have less than 5g sugar per 100g are low sugar foods. Foods that have

more than 15g sugar per 100g are high sugar foods. Of course varieties and brands

vary in sugar content. This is why it is important to educate yourself by reading the

Nutritional Facts on labels. Learn more about sugars at BBC Food here.

7 Day Sugar Detox Meal Plan

Before we start let's get a basic overview. 7 day of recipes have been included to

guide you on the sugar free detox path. This is the "cold turkey" stage so no

processed sugar in any form is allowed and only certain foods are recommended.

This includes in beverages. We will also only be eating foods that have no sugar

or are very low in natural sugars.

After this detox phase you can start to eat fruits and honey in moderation and on

occasion artificial sweeteners such as Stevia in moderation. Remember though, once

you train your taste buds to eat less sugar it will be easier to break your sugar addiction.

You will start to trust your taste buds!

Drink 6 - 8 glasses of water each day and start each day by drinking 1 glass full. Try

adding some lemon for a change.

If you want to change ANY of the meals to grilled or pan fried meat, eggs and veg of

salad, do so! Top up on natural nuts, seeds and celery for snacks.
