Diane Sanfilippo author of NY Times bestseller "Practical Paleo - Learn how to ditch your sugar cravings in just 3 weeks."
Here are the notes I took from an interview with her through the Village Green "Healthy Life Summit" on the internet.
The 21 Day Sugar Detox
"Practical Paleo". By Diane Sanfilippo.
Food Landscape completely different 1890.
We are Eating more calories with less nutrition. Overheating but under eating nutrition.
Many people are mislead to what it takes to eat healthy. Meaning they think they should eat less and exercise more, have a low calorie diet and you must have diet food.
Everything we thought about nutrition is wrong.
Fats are not the enemy. We need to get back to what our grandmother's ate. They might help you to stop craving sugar.
We are wired to like sugar.
When we think we need sugar, we need to go to the nutrient rich foods. Because that is what we are craving.
1 cup of infant formula can have as much usage are one can of coca-cola.
Sugar is in every processed food.
Sugar is in every packaged food as a perspective.
Pasta can be mostly sugar.
So we need to start reading labels.
Busy life can sometimes give us excuse to serve easy, processed foods.
So spaghetti is not a dessert but it has almost as much as sugar in the ingredients.
At 25 years Diane was diagnosed gut flora overgrowth. In 3 weeks on the sugar detox she had no Arthritis, allergies, no chronic sinus infections. No cavities, increase in good vision.
No need for snacks with nutrition-Dense foods.
2009 average person sugar consumption 1/2 lbs per day translating to 180 pounds a year.
Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal: 3 kinds of sweetener in that cereal. So they don't have to say sugar is the largest ingredient so it is about 10 tsp. of sugar in a cup of the cereal.
Compare a cereal breakfast of oatmeal with fruit, butter. Compare it with a breakfast with eggs, avocado and a tomato.
If you are hungry two hours latter, that is an sure indication that you bombed your body with sugar.
Sugar in general is empty calories. it also an anti-nutrient.
We need vitamins and minerals metabolize carbs.
Cereals have synthetic vitamins sprayed on, not natural.
These vitamins deplete nutrients without adding any. We all need whole foods without any added sugars.
Get our carb Sources through vegetables.
Sometimes we supplement with energy drinks that feed the sugar cravings.
I know what not to eat. Now what do we eat instead.
It's good to go through the food process with others.

Everyone should make change at own pace.
Need to think more about food and spend time on food.
Do more yourself, but get support.
Changing habits are most important
Think about food before you get hungry. Ideas. Make it your hobby.
Eat more meat Instead of smoothies with protein powder.
Eat full fat choices Instead of low-fat (like yogurt, milk)
Eat savory breakfast instead of sweet breakfast.
Eat hard boiled eggs or jerky, nuts, instead of sweet snacks. Eat left overs for a snack.
Eat seed crackers instead of regular crackers. Mary's crackers??? Gluten free.
1 fruit a day - green apple green tip bananas, lemon, lime no berries.
We feed bad organisms in our body with sugar. So we need to starve the body of sugar. Eventually our taste buds and palate will change.
Artificial sweeteners to avoid
In drinks, gums,
Aspartame, Splenda, sweet n low, truvia even stevia
Regular consumption of diet drinks increases risks of weight gain by 200%, pre diabetes or metabolic syndrome by 36%, diabetes by 67%. A study of 400 people determined that those who drank 2 diet sodas a day or more increased their waist size by 5 times. Sweeteners can increase our insulin like sugar.
After you have done the sugar detox, can get back to limited amount of sweetener--honey, molasses, maple syrup
Results: more energy, sleeping better, not eating every 2 hours, weight loss, changing relationship with food, auto immune conditions can go into remission.
