21 Day Sugar Detox Meal Plan – Overview

The 21-day sugar detox meal plan, as you can understand from its name, is a nutritional program that aims to remove sugar from your diet for 21 days.

The sugar here is not only the white sugar we know very well.

In addition to white sugar, it also means avoiding all sugars, such as brown sugar, cakes, cookies, and chocolate, which contain refined sugars.

A sugar-free lifestyle becomes necessary, especially if you have a high amount of sugar in your blood.

For those who say, “No way I can go without any sugar for 21 days?” We have good news: Choose real food over processed food if you want to consume sugar! Added sugar may increase your triglyceride levels.

On the other hand, fruit has enough natural sugar to satisfy your craving until you reset your taste buds during this 21-day sugar detox.

If you say, “This is not enough for me,” you can get support from foods such as honey or molasses, but no refined sugars.

Let’s not go without mentioning why this diet program is 21 days. According to some experts, 21 days (the 21 Day Rule) is the optimum time frame to improve mental and physical resistance against many types of addictions but its effectiveness varies among individuals.

In short, if you can continue this sugar-free nutrition program for 21 days, your body will crave less sugar than before, and perhaps you will not even want to consume refined sugared foods again.

Now that we have learned the 21-day sugar-free nutrition program basics, let’s move on to what needs to be considered during this sugar diet:

1. You should avoid not only sweets but also pastries, white bread, pasta, and other foods that contain excessive carbohydrates.

2. You should avoid packaged products and eliminate junk food from your life.

3. You should not eat any desserts such as the lightest milk desserts, desserts with syrup, cakes, cookies, ice cream, and yogurts with fruits, and you should not drink any drinks that contain sugar, including tea and coffee.

4. To consume bread or pastries, choose those with whole wheat flour, rye, buckwheat, or quinoa.

5. You should meet your sweet needs with fruits, and if not enough, you should take advantage of foods such as honey and molasses.

6. Eat low-fat meat (red meat, chicken, or fish), legumes, grains, seeds, seasonal vegetables, and fruits.

7. As long as you do not add sugar, you can drink all herbal teas and use all the spices to add flavor to your meals.

8. If you are determined to consume honey or molasses, you should be careful not to eat more than 1 tsp daily.

9. You should not neglect to drink plenty of water.

Ingredients

1 cup of coarse bulgur wheat

Half a tablespoon of tomato paste (optional)

Half a tablespoon of pepper paste (optional)

Half a cup of boiled chickpeas

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Half a tablespoon of butter

1.5 cups of boiled water (or chicken stock or broth)

Dried mint, cayenne pepper and salt to taste

Recipe

  1. Put the bulgur in a wire strainer. Wash well with lukewarm water. Continue washing until the water flowing from the bulgur becomes clear. Let the water drain
  2. Get a large but not deep pot and start preheating it. Put the olive oil in the pot you have set on medium heat after it warms up a little. Add the olive oil first and then add the butter. Mix the two and wait until it gets hot.
  3. Add the bulgur, which has been drained, to the sufficiently heated oils and start roasting. After frying for 3-5 minutes, add the tomato and pepper paste and continue frying. Meanwhile, add the salt. Then, pour the boiled water over it and increase the heat. Close the lid of the pot.
  4. When the meal starts to boil, please put it on the smallest burner on the stove. Set the flame to the lowest setting and boil until the bulgur is fully cooked and the water runs out. Do not open the lid of the pot at this stage.
  5. Put the boiled and shredded chicken on the bulgur that has absorbed its water. Add boiled chickpeas. Mix gently. Then, level the mixed food with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle dried mint on top. Put a towel or towel napkin between the pot and the lid and close the lid tightly. Turn off the stove and wait for the food to infuse for about 40 minutes.

21 day sugar detox recipes

21 day sugar detox recipes – Sini kebab

Per Serving

Calories: 434

Net Carb: 17g

Total Fat: 23g

Protein: 33g

Ingredients

2 lb eggplant

1 tablespoon of olive oil

For the meatballs:

1,1 pound of ground beef

1 onion

1 tablespoon of tomato paste

Half a tablespoon of chili paste

Salt

Isot if possible (or 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper)

1 teaspoon of black pepper

Recipe

  1. Start by grating the onion to bring out this fantastic flavor. Add minced meat, tomato paste, salt, isot and black pepper to the grated onion and knead together.
  2. Slice the eggplants into sections. 3 finger thickness is ideal. Now, we’re going to start laying it on the tray. For this, make flat meatballs from the meat you kneaded. Arrange eggplant and a meatball, respectively, in a circle. Put the tomatoes you cut in the middle of the circle. (You can cut it into rings or large slices).
  3. Dip your hand in the oil and rub it over the eggplants. (This prevents the tops from drying out.)
  4. Bake at 220 or 250 degrees until the eggplants release their water and absorb it again. Cook for about 1 hour. We recommend controlled baking as this time may vary according to each oven. The dish will be ready when the eggplants are baked.
