Sugar Free

Monday, February 28, 2011

Tomorrow, Amy and I begin no sugar month!

I am excited and nervous at the same time. Last May when I first went without sugar that first week was killer! I had horrible headaches because of the sugar withdrawals but after I got past that, I started to feel great so I am just trying to keep that memory in my head!

So you may ask,
What do you eat when you can't eat any sugar?

You just have to read labels like crazy! Almost everything has unnecessary added sugar!

Here is our dinner meal plan

Dinners:

Roast Chicken w/ Veggies
- Shred remaining meat and save for Southwest Soup.
-Place chicken carcass, 1 cut up onion, 2 cut up carrots, and 2 cut up celery stalks into a crock pot and cover with water. Cook on low for 8-12 hours. Strain and reserve 4 cups for Southwest Soup. Freeze remaining stock for later use.

- Use leftover Chicken and Chicken Stock


Enchiladas w/ Corn

BBQ Salmon w/ Potatoes and Steamed Green Beans
- Place Salmon fillets in a ziploc bag and top with this BBQ sauce and thin with water. Allow Salmon to marinate for at least 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Lasagna w/ Salad and Garlic Bread
- Double the meat and triple the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Save extra sauce and reserve for Spaghetti Pie, Spaghetti, and Stuffed Shells.

French Dip Sandwiches w/ Steamed Broccoli

Spaghetti Pie w/ Salad

Love this idea. I don't eat much sugar as is so it would be a fun challenge to make sure there is no sugar. I think i'll have to do this in April since i'm doing a 21 day vegan kickstart, just do no sugar at the same time :)
