Today was the day! My husband and children have agreed to give up sugar and grain for at least one week! I have one week to convince them that the food still tastes good and fills them up! I will be updating daily on our progress!
Day 1:
Today was a little tougher then it should have been because of my lack of preparation ahead of time. I didn't make it to the grocery store until late this afternoon. My kids were complaining of hunger for most of the day without sugar and about how unfair it was that we couldn't go to a fast food restaurant while we our out. My oldest child was having a complete melt down at the end of the evening, over the temptation she was facing over a box of her favorite sugary cereal. I was able to divert disaster by making a Yo'nana desert for her without sugar. Tomorrow, I will spend a few hours baking and creating snacks that will fill the void of not having "sugar and processed" snacks.
Our meals today consisted of:
Breakfast: Apple Pancakes made with coconut & almond flour, homemade applesauce and nitrate free bacon.
Snack: pineapple chunks and blueberries
Lunch: cheese chunks (*note our family does use high fat dairy), strawberries, homemade trail mix
Snack: Healthy sweet potato fries, cukes and carrots with ranch
Dinner: Awesome Roast in slow cooker with onions, mushrooms, carrots, sweet potatoes and broccoli
Snack: Yo nanna Blueberry/Banana desert with fresh blueberries on top and 2 nut butter balls each.
