Every year on February 1st, I lead a big group of people through 21 days of no added sugar, teaching them all they need to know to keep sugar out of their diet for good, all the while improving their health.
Other times of the year, people are interested in the challenge, so I set it up so you can complete this on your own 21 day timeframe. Please let me know if you're interested in that. Email me: info@kellyharringtonrd.com
CHALLENGE GUIDELINES
No added sugar or artificial sweeteners for 21 days.
This includes removing sweeteners such as: sugar, honey, pure maple syrup, molasses, sugary alcoholic beverages, agave nectar, sucralose, aspartame, etc.
Natural sweeteners like honey, although natural, can still drive the desire for sugar. We want to stop triggering that pathway in the brain. Artificial sweeteners can make sugar cravings worse or prevent you from stopping the cravings.
OK foods to have during the 21 day challenge
Fruit, stevia, monk fruit, wine, and unsweetened alcohol are allowed. It's not my intention to make this an alcohol-free challenge.
Many high-quality supplements, magnesium powders, and protein powders contain monk fruit or stevia, which is why it's OK to include these two ingredients.
You will build your meals around a lot of vegetables, fruit, proteins, healthy fats, grains with zero added sugar, and unsweetened beverages.

**Keep in mind, perfection is not the goal here. There are circumstances you can't control. Please don't stress about that or let that prevent you from joining.
