Sugar detox diet

This is not a 100% sugar free diet but I think it qualifies as a detox for anybody eating the standard American diet.  There are sugars in the fullfat yogurt and raw nuts.

When you feel hungry on this diet all you need to do is eat!  What you are going to find out is that what you thought were feelings of hunger are actually sugar cravings because you are an addict.  This plan will help you find your true appetite.

Only follow this plan if you understand that you cant just go off of it on the 15th day haphazardly.  You are going to add back in "safe starches" (with fat added) a little at a time.  This will reduce the chances of you totally breaking down and just pigging out in the days that follow.  I will write more about how to end this plan and include safe-starches in another blog post. 

Here are the allowed foods

Any meat including uncured bacon.  No processed meats.  If you are going to eat chicken make it at least 50% dark meat.  Do not get caught up in the same old chicken breast you have been told to eat for years.  Lowfat foods like chicken breast are what got you here in the fist place.

Any vegetable, high-fat vegetables like avocados are great!   

Fullfat plain yogurt, USDA/Organic is best

Raw nut or seeds of any kind except for peanuts.

Eggs, either raw or cooked.

The more natural fats you eat on this diet the better!  If you eat lowfat foods you will not survive this plan, the cravings will be too much.  You became sugar-addicted because you ate lowfat for years.  Eating lowfat causes intense sugar cravings.  This is why many people can eat what they think is "clean" all day but end up bingeing on sugars at night. 

You can drink 1-2 glasses a day of raw milk/day if you like it but it is not necessary.

Do not drink any store bought milk.  You can use heavy fullfat  creamer for your tea if you absolutely need it.

Drink only water or unsweetened teas.  No coffee as it gives an insulin response and can cause sugar cravings.   Only drink when thirsty , the old standard of 8 glasses a day has proven to be incorrect.  Simply drink when you are thirsty and you will do well. 

Always eat the meat and eggs with a serving of vegetables equivalent to the amount of calories in the meat or eggs.  Do not eat meat or eggs alone if you can help it.  Try not to mix your meats.  Reason being is that you are better off making 2 separate meals with different meats as a way of eating more vegetables and not having to struggle to get fatty protein sources. 

Eat the full-fat plain yogurt as a stand alone meal. 

No alcohol but if you are insistent no more than 2 servings of 1-2 drinks/week.  Unsweetened hard liquor is best.  Beer is to sugary and should be skipped.

Cook your meats and vegetables in either coconut oil, butter, ghee or if you are lucky enough to be able to access lard use it!  Call me first, I want some!

Use olive oil for dressings but do not cook in it.
