Quitting Sugar Week 1 – What We Ate

image

We made it through week 1 of the I Quit Sugar Detox. Week 1 is about cutting back on sugar so we did still eat fruit and natural sugar (pure maple syrup). Meal prepping for the week was a lot of work, and I still had to do small things in the kitchen each night. But having the main meals already prepared really helped.

I’ve already learned that you have to have a plan and something waiting for you when hunger strikes.  When you get ridiculously hungry you will be tempted to just eat whatever you can find. This didn’t actually happen, but I came close. Saturday morning I was starving, running out the door, and wondering what I could possibly eat when I remembered I had a granola bar.  So I didn’t blow the detox on the first week!

Here’s what we ate week 1 (as close as I can remember). Some days I ate the same thing everyday, which I am ok with but may drive other people crazy.
