Happy Monday, friends! Today, we begin Day One of our Annual Sugar Detox Challenge! As I mentioned yesterday, youâre ready for this. Youâve prepared all month long, and this is the week we go all in. đĽ
The quote above is meant to bring a little humor to your day, but many of us live like this. Oftentimes, we reach for the sweets because life gets the best of us. This week, weâre going to flip the script and learn to navigate our days without processed sugar, because we donât need it. As I mentioned earlier in the month, your body and brain do need sugar (glucose) in its natural formâso feel free to enjoy natural sweeteners like Stevia and monk fruit this week.
If you havenât already cut out all processed sugar, you may experience withdrawal-type symptoms like headaches, fatigue, cravings, irritability, and maybe even nausea and bloating, depending on how much sugar your body is used to. The article below will give you some insight into the common sugar detox symptoms and how to get through them. Itâs important to remember these symptoms are temporary. đ
Youâve got this. You are ready. Letâs GO! đ
