My goal had been 100% abstinence from all processed sugar, but with honey and maple syrup in moderation. I had processed sugar multiple times, but it was still at a <em>much<\/em> lower level than I had before the detox.<\/p>\n<p>I lost three pounds without even trying, and my face thinned out after a few days. My face is my truth serum. You can always tell how I\u2019ve been eating by my face. If I\u2019m eating gluten, dairy, or sugar, it puffs up almost instantly.<\/p>\n<p>By week two, I started to unravel. I have foods with sugar in the ingredients in the house for the kids (though we\u2019re slowly trying to taper off sugar for them as well). I housed a box of gluten-free snickerdoodles one night, and a box of dark chocolate peanut butter cups jumped into my cart at Trader Joe\u2019s. All bets were off at this point.<\/p>\n<h3>Sugar Is In More Foods Than I Thought, Including Foods That Aren\u2019t Sweet<\/h3>\n<p>I was&nbsp;<em>floored<\/em> when I started reading labels and determining what foods I could eat on the detox vs. which ones I should avoid.

Self-control has been a big struggle for me. I bought food for my kids that had sugar in it \u2013 gluten-free snickerdoodles (my oldest, Ben, gets one in his lunchbox every day), chocolate chips for muffins (we make no-sugar chocolate muffins and I add 3 chips to each one), and snack bars. I swore up and down that these foods were for the children and that I wouldn\u2019t eat them. During week 1, I held strong. I didn\u2019t even consider eating them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-145379\" src=\"http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"21-day-sugar-detox_a\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-lazy-srcset=\"http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-960x640.jpg 960w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-1200x800.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-696x464.jpg 696w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-1068x712.jpg 1068w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-630x420.jpg 630w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-145379\" src=\"http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"21-day-sugar-detox_a\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-960x640.jpg 960w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-1200x800.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-696x464.jpg 696w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-1068x712.jpg 1068w, http:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/21-day-sugar-detox_a-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>By week 2, however, it was a different story. I would have cut off my right foot for a bite of chocolate or a whiff of a donut. That\u2019s when I totally dove into all the kids\u2019 food that I had sworn I wouldn\u2019t touch. It was gone within a matter of 24 hours. All of it. Then I felt guilty and bought more for them. And then I ate that, too.<\/p>\n<h3>For Me, The First Week Was The Easiest<\/h3>\n<p>Many people told me that the first week of the detox would be the hardest. I\u2019d have headaches and flu-like symptoms, and intense, unshakeable cravings. But I didn\u2019t. I felt&nbsp;<em>mildly<\/em> unwell, but that could very well be my body\u2019s response to being exposed to hand-foot-mouth disease. I wasn\u2019t grumpy, and I felt strong in my decision to do this.<\/p>\n<p>It was week two that seemed impossible. At that point, I\u2019d had enough of \u201cfruit for dessert.\u201d I wanted real dessert. I was finding more foods with sugar hidden in them, than those without (or so it felt). I started noticing more of the things I&nbsp;<em>couldn\u2019t have<\/em>, instead of the things I could have. That was vastly different from week 1, where I gleefully looked at all of the surprising foods that I could have during this detox.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 2 Was\u2026 Interesting<\/h3>\n<p>After I fell apart during week 2, I decided to restart. I made it three days. Then I decided to restart again. One day. And then I decided to start one last time. One more day.<\/p>\n<p>This was harder than I had expected.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I had an amazing sugar-free day, I unraveled the next day. One of my biggest cases of self-sabotage yet. It was only 21 days. Why couldn\u2019t I get there?<\/p>\n<h3>The Grand Finale<\/h3>\n<p>After a week of on-again, off-again patterns, I quit. For some reason, when my brain hears, \u201cyou cannot have that, ever,\u201d all I can focus on is that forbidden fruit. And things start to fall apart.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I\u2019ve learned to be&nbsp;<em>so much more<\/em> conscious of added sugar in our diets. I am pretty much disgusted with how many things have sugar in them, and I\u2019m just not buying it anymore. I\u2019m working hard to replace all sugar in our house with honey and maple syrup. And when I do use them, I\u2019m using them incredibly sparingly.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what? It\u2019s cold and flu season. Do you know what impacts your immune system tremendously? Sugar. When you eat sugar, your&nbsp;immune system is compromised by 40% and can take up to 5 hours to recover (or longer, depending on how much you eat). Colds and the flu? Ain\u2019t nobody got time for that.<\/p>\n<p>So, my 21-day sugar detox was kind of a big fat fail, but, I learned a boatload of valuable lessons while I attempted it. It taught me to truly inspect the ingredient lists of everything, even foods that you wouldn\u2019t think would have added sugar.
