This week's mini challenge is a one week without sugar. The best alternatives to sugar can be found in natural, whole fruits. For example, banana, berries, and apple. You might consider a little honey if you need something sweet added to tea.

Tips for One Week Sugar-free Challenge:

1. Clean your house

It is important to rid your house of sugary foods and beverages. You can typically put sugary foods in a box hidden so I avoid any temptation.

2. Drink lots of water

Whenever you experience an intense bout of sugar cravings, try drinking a glass of water to curb the urge. People who are addicted to high levels of sugar may have difficulty identifying the difference between a sugar craving and thirst.

3. Be prepared with food

Snacking helps control hunger and rein in portion sizes at meals. Prepare or carry healthy snacks and ensure you eat before you go out anywhere.

4. Avoid hidden sugar

Be careful in what you order when going out to dine. Obviously cakes, cookies, pies, puddings, soft drinks, are crossed off the list as being loaded with sugar. Avoid processed foods altogether, you are probably consuming more refined sugars than you realize. Sugar is added to most packaged foods even if they are not sweet.

5. Get out and exercise

Respond your cravings for sugar by engaging in some type of physical activity.
