10-Day Sugar Detox: Easy Meal Plans to Beat Sugar in 10 Days Paperback – January 29, 2015

This book was quite fascinating. I knew about aspartame being another word for sugar – my mom never bought anything containing aspartame. However, I was not informed about the other forms of sugar that the author mentioned…it shocked me that companies are great at deceiving their customers. I appreciate that the author talked about why we need to detox, why sugar isn’t 100% evil. We just have to be smart with the types of sugars we intake.Beforehand, I read this book not for the purpose of myself – as I am already very skinny (so trying to gain weight…which is a process for me), but this actually was quite beneficial to me. I’m not ready to quit sugar, but I will definitely minimize the amount for the sake of my health. I didn’t know that excess sugar COULD be the reason that I have trouble sleeping on time! Also, I really like that the author provides various types of detox – one detox won’t help everyone so breaking it down to different types is very smart! The variety of detox plans also are organized and the author provides recipes along with a “pantry list” of what to buy.The “Make-Ahead Snacks” chapter is my absolute favorite, I tried many of the recipes like the crunchy kale chips, jicama salsa, and homemade hummus! I’m slightly overwhelmed with all the recipes that the author provided…it’s an immense amount (which is a good thing).I highly recommend this book to people who are in need of a change in their diet, and possibly lifestyle. It will be a great tool reading this while trying to lose weight as the author provides healthy recipes without the need of sugar. *I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

This book has really helped me to understand more about how sugar affects my body in adverse ways from heart disease to anxiety and even depression. I honestly never realized how many hidden sugars were in foods that I consume daily. The list of alternate names for sugars provided in this book is a great resource for those looking to cut down or remove sugar from their diet. I was amazed that there were so many names sugars go by and found that many are hiding in unexpected foods such as low fat yogurt. While sticking to a detox plan is not simple, the guidance and recipes provided make it much more enjoyable. After day three of ten I am already feeling much more alert and have lost a couple of pounds. I know that it is early, but feeling and seeing these results gives me the motivation to keep on going. As a mother of two small children, I am embracing these recipes and trying to make a lifestyle change for my family.*I received this ebook in exchange for an honest and unbiased review, all opinions are my own.

The 10 Day Sugar Detox explains the negative effects of sugar on your body. The intro clues you in on just how much sugar goes into the typical diet. Then the book briefly goes over the 4 detoxes to rid your body of sugar--some more than others. They tell you upfront how difficult it will probably be--both on your body and your pocketbook. Quite frankly, it is very intimidating. And even the least restrictive of the detoxes are pretty restrictive. The author does mention that 10 days is much shorter than 21 days, or 8 weeks as some other detoxes are. But this is pretty much a "cold-turkey" approach, rather than a gradual,weaning type diet. I don't doubt you will get great health benefits if you can manage it, but I will say you need to be very, very motivated and focused to keep it up.I received a free copy of this book for my honest, unbiased review.

I med more energy but this does wake you up. I get groggy again after 3hrs or so. I take turns with this one and my yerba mate shots those last me 8-10hrs.

This was the perfect book for me to help my husband lose weight. My husband didn't understand why we needed to change the way we were eating but after we read this book, it was clear to him. There are hidden sugars in a lot of foods. This book, the 10-Day Sugar Detox, made it easy to understand how processed foods, like jarred marinara sauce, bottled salad dressings, and even marinades, all have hidden sugar. With the help of this book, we were able to educate ourselves about sugar and follow recipes for healthy, delicious, no-sugar meals. The 10-Day Sugar Detox helped us pick a detox plan that worked for our lifestyle and our desires. Within 10 days, we started to have more energy and feel better - it was amazing! As we stayed on the plan, we slept better and our overall health level increased. The digestion problems we experienced in the past were gone. My husband was now a believer. We will never go back to sugar thanks to the 10-Day Sugar Detox! It takes commitment but it is truly worth it!

I'm still completely in shock to learn how many bad sugars are in our daily intake of foods and drinks. I needed to learn how to withdraw and detox my body the proper way and this book is perfect for that. Its extremely detailed and helpful for any new person looking to get that jump start on their diet and new lifestyle changes. This is the book you want to get you on the right path and starting your life healthier for this new year. My favorite part of this book is all the meal plan ideas it gives you. Its fool proof and so very easy for anyone. In about 2 weeks you will be feeling so much better with this book as your guide.
