We get asked all the time if you can really cut out all the added sugar in your diet when you ditch the sweet stuff?
And the answer is yes, of course! In fact, on our 8-Week Program we do just that by focusing on nutrient-dense whole foods which are packed with nutritional benefits and antioxidant properties.
But, what about natural sugars? Good news! The naturally occurring sugars found in veggies, nuts and seeds are a-okay by us, because their fructose levels are quite low and so are less likely to have a detrimental effect on your health.
To show you what we mean, we’ve broken down the nutritional info of a day in the life of our 8-Week Program (naturally occurring sugars included!)…
Breakfast…
A crowd favourite for brekkie is our Savoury Granola + Gooey Egg Topper. While there’s no added sugar in this scrumptious dish, there are 1.7 grams of naturally occurring sugars found in the coconut and seeds – which also help to keep you satiated. Spiced up with anti-inflammatory turmeric and cinnamon to regulate blood sugar levels, this dish is bound to give your taste buds a flavour-punch!
Lunch…
Say goodbye to salads, because our Inside Out Chicken Kiev will change the way you have lunch! While there are naturally occurring sugars in the peas and potato (2.6 grams to be exact), these whole foods are also packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin C and potassium. And, by hitting all the food groups – protein, veggies and healthy fats – this dish will keep you full of energy all day.
Dinner…
Not only is this dinner vegetarian, but it’s gluten-free too! While the lemon, tomatoes and onion contain natural sugars, there are only around 4 grams in total in this tasty feast. But, we slow the release of this sugar by pairing it with high-protein and high-fibre buckwheat, as well as some healthy fats from the haloumi. And who doesn’t love haloumi for dinner? Yes, please!
By now you’ll no doubt be salivating, and this is just one day’s worth of meals! Get your hands on these recipes, plus so many more on our 8-Week Program.
