This is a personal challenge to avoid sugar, alcohol, commercially refined foods, stimulants, products containing gluten, white pasta, white rice and white bread for 30 consecutive days. To facilitate your success, the Challenge will take place through group meetings of one hour each week for 5 consecutive weeks.
Make taking the Challenge easier with support and the right tools
Over each week, your facilitator Julie Audette will help you meet the Challenge by providing you with all the necessary tools, such as food charts, guides for choosing your foods, meal ideas, snacks and menus, as well as tips and hints by email. She will even provide you with her best store tips, must-have foods, products and favourite websites.
The 30-day Sugar-free Challenge is not a diet; the purpose of the Challenge is to help you reach your wellness goals as you become aware of your eating habits and as you get (back) on track with healthier eating habits. You will (re)discover the pleasures of eating and enjoying your food. Note that this is not about reducing portion size, counting calories or replacing meals with food supplements. It is about eating real food that respects nature, the seasons and the environment without compromising taste. Here’s what you will be eating: vegetables, certain fruits, certain whole grains, high quality meat and poultry, fish and seafood, seeds and nuts, good oils and fats, quality cheeses, spices and herbs.
Will I lose weight on the Challenge?Some participants have experienced a noticeable weight loss when they take the 30-day Sugar-free Challenge, but the secret lies in the long term benefits. Obviously, avoiding all foods that are harmful for your health can only support a return to a healthy weight. The link between excess weight and an unhealthy body often go hand in hand. In addition, by focusing directly on what you eat (and avoiding refined sugar, additives, preservatives, colouring, industrial foods, etc.) you will have a direct impact on a return to a more pleasing physical appearance. Of course, each person is different, but one thing is certain, eating healthy foods has been a beneficial path for everyone! You really are what you eat!
