Easy Diet Plan With No Sugar Added
Sugar sure is delicious but there's time where the cravings feel overwhelming. We've been there and know it's hard trying to resist sugar cravings, so we made this 7-day no-sugar diet plan to help you overcome the cravings and get back on track with healthy habits. In this week-long meal plan, you'll find delicious no-added-sugar recipes and snacks that will keep you full and energized without causing blood sugar spikes and crashes. Translation: your energy levels will stay nice and stable all day.
What to Eat on a No-Sugar Diet
Instead of processed and packaged foods and snacks that are high in added sugars, this no-sugar diet plan includes foods that have naturally-occurring sugars that satisfy your sweet tooth. Peanut Butter Energy Balls are sweetened with fiber-rich dates instead of honey or maple syrup. For a sweet breakfast, enjoy Mascarpone and Berries Toast, which is full of naturally sweet strawberries and blackberries that are packed with antioxidants. Other fiber-rich and anti-inflammatory foods, like raspberries, blueberries, clementines, pears, and apples, offer a sweet fix without the added sugar.
