In Week 2 of the Sugar Detox the focus was to add in more healthy fats. I don’t think I did as well as I could have with this though. Sarah Wilson recommends eating lots of avocados as one way to add in more fat, but being allergic to them I had to ditch that idea. Instead I ate more cheese than normal. I am not a big fan of eggs, but to get through Weeks 3-6 I think I will have to make an effort to incorporate those into my breakfast routine.
I have to say I am very proud of my boyfriend and he has exceeded my expectations in his avoidance of sugar. When I have given him the option to have a treat this week he has declined and stuck to our plan. Frankly I am surprised since he’s such a little sugar addict but maybe losing 10 pounds already has something to do with it.
Here is what we ate:
