Omitting sugar cravings, can be a doozy to get through! But as you may have already noticed, The benefits feel gooood! Blood sugar levels would have lowered rapidly, less desire to yell at people in the road (when you’re on a crash) and potentially even better digestion.
Motivation has probably carried you through the first week, although that may soon drop! It’s crucial for the month’s adherence that you have substitutes available – so you’re less likely to give in!
1: Stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener and can be a great addition to drinks, smoothies, yoghurts etc when you’re in need of a sweet kick.
2: Nut butter. Almond and peanut butter are incredibly satiating! Not to mention full of minerals that are great for you. Spreading 1 tbsp of nut butter to a green apple, or some rice cakes with a crack of salt is a great snack!
3: Berries and coconut yoghurt. Opt for a non-flavoured coconut yoghurt to save on sugar content, but this can be a great post dinner dessert when you’re in need of something sweet.
4: Dark chocolate!! 70% or above is allowed.
5: Denada ice cream! Yup – this ice cream is completely sugar free and has good quality ingredients. Found in coles and local health food stores.
