I'm going to have a 10 day Sugar Free Challenge for myself again and whoever would like to join. Why 10 days? Simply because that was a perfect amount of time for me. The 10 days gave my body time to go through withdrawals, detox and feel great by the end! I know most of you probably aren't looking to make a permanent sugar free change, but instead maybe just cut out your daily soda habit or kick your sweet tooth to the curb? This is a perfect way to make that change. (FYI - Before the challenge I was a 60+ oz per day Diet Coke addict, haven't touched it since!)
The rules of the challenge are simple:
- No Processed Sugars - Read labels - Sugar is in practically every processed food!
- No Artificial Sweetners - Yes this includes diet soda :)
- No Fruit Juice - Super high in sugar :(
- Fruit is OK :)
- Your going to feel great because you will consuming a clean, processed food free diet!
Here are some links from Alex at Spoonful of Sugar Free - Feel free to utilize her blog for information and amazing sugar free recipes :)

What does it say that the thought of this scares me? ;) Ok, I'm in. I need to be in!
When do we start?
I wish I could say I could join you but I know better! Maybe this winter...Good luck :)
you are seriously so awesome to keep doing this! i love my sugar and definitely enjoy having a treat so I am not ready just yet to go all out in a challenge but I will be cheering for you. AND we should def go on a hike sometime :)
I saw when you did this last .. LOVE IT! I am willing to give it a go, though I can't promise I will certainly be much more mindful of those nasty added extras!
So excited for you to do this challenge! Have fun and good luck. If you need any help, feel free to ask me!
i was doing great until I started getting so stressed and had trouble digesting veggies. I am working hard to get everything back on track, but think a challenge might stress me out right now :)
thanks for the shout out and I know you will do great, i'm so glad it helped!!
