12-Day Sugar Detox:
What to Avoid for Fat Loss & Better Health
Healthy living is a choice and a lifestyle!
🚫 Foods to Avoid:
1️⃣ Sugars in Any Form:
•Juices (even store-bought “natural” ones)
• Cakes & pastries
• Soft drinks
• Table sugar
• Alcohol
2️⃣ Refined Flour Products:
• Cookies & biscuits
• Bread
• Pizza/spaghetti
• Pancakes (Chimodho)
• Anything made with refined flour
3️⃣ Fast Foods & Processed Snacks:
• French fries (chips)
• Hot dogs
• Sausages (often contain sugar syrups and additives)
• Any highly processed or deep-fried foods
✅ Better Choices:
Opt for whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and support fat loss!
Good alternatives:
• Zviyo (millet)
• Mhunga (sorghum)
• Mapfunde (finger millet)
These grains are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthier option than refined flour products.
Natural Sweeteners:
• Pure Honey: A natural sweetener with vitamins and antioxidants. Use sparingly, as it still contains sugar but has a lower glycemic index than refined sugar.
• Stevia Leaves: A zero-calorie, natural sweetener that doesn’t impact blood sugar levels, making it a great choice for sweetening without the calories.
Additional Whole Foods to Include:
• Lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs)
• Healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil)
• Vegetables and fruits (low in sugar, high in fiber)
By opting for these natural, nutrient-rich foods and sweeteners, you’ll support fat loss and overall wellness.
Before starting the sugar challenge, make sure to take photos of yourself from both angles and measure your waist (cm) at its widest and narrowest points. This will allow you to track and compare your progress after 12 days of going sugar-free.
