At first, your cravings for sugar may be more pronounced. After you get over what I call the hump” you will stop craving sugar all together. Hard to believe? I never thought I’d get there myself. It usually takes 3-4 days to get over the hump, so this is the point at which you’ll have to buckle down and use all of your will power. Believe it or not, the longer your stay off sugar the easier it gets.
This doesn’t mean that you’ll never be able to eat fruit again or enjoy a piece of bread. This is a temporary cleanse to overcorrect your blood sugar. This is when the cravings for sugar disappears, and you energy goes way up! Not to mention that most people see a huge difference in their skin.
Sugar makes you fat, tired, and ugly. I wish I was kidding about this, but I’m actually quite serious. Eating fat doesn’t make you fat, sugar does. Eating too much sugar and carbs is the reason that most people are tired all the time as well. Not to mention that sugar zaps the collagen in your skin, and dulls your complexion.
- Remove all sugar and simple carbohydrates from diet for 28 days in a row.
- Remove all foods from the “avoid” list below, and eat only foods on the “good” list for the 28 days.

Being a recovering “sugarholic” myself, I can speak from experience how difficult it is to get ff of sugar. The more sugar you eat, the more your body craves, so just limiting sugar won’t do the trick. You literally have to cut it out completely, cold-turkey, to stop the addictive cycle. Studies have shown that it can be more difficult to get off of sugar than cocaine.
When I’m talking about sugar here, I’m not just talking about white table sugar, I’m talking about bread, fruit, fruit juice, dried fruit, tortillas, baked goods, honey, etc. All of these get broken down into the same thing, sugar.
