On the home stretch for the 21 day sugar detox

Here is a back load of some meals from the past week.

Overall, sugar killed me during the holidays and i'm back! (to my fighting weight, lol)
Didn't realize how much sugar I ate in "healthy" forms such as dates, dried plums, dark chocolate 90%, berries.....


Breakfast- 2 fried eggs in coconut oil with pan fried tomatoes



Homemade wings with a crispy almond flour and cayanne! Sweet pot fries with cinnamon and coconut oil




Grass fed burgers and sundried tomato squash stirfy

Dessert! Apple crisp!! 3 granny smith apples, almond flour and cinnamon baked for 30 mins at 325!!!! topped with almond butter

snack- frozen banana with almond butter and coconut flakes

last nights dinner- bacon wrapped chicken thighs and sun dried tomato, sweet pot and onion sautee.


This mornings breakfast- bacon avocado and cauliflower!!

Tonight Baby back ribs.

Road trip Team meal!

As you know, I travel A LOT with work and meals are always provided. However, they are sabotaged with grains and sugars. But not this trip!!! 

Beef tenderloin, salad and steamed veggies.

I passed on the dessert display. 

I also decided that for lent, which begins wednesday, that I will be giving up coffee (batten down the hatches.... it's going to get ugly) and keep the 21 day sugar detox up till april 8th. 

My grub day 11

I'm mimicking the Easy Paleo from facebook. A great idea so people can see what no sugar looks like!!
Yesterday grub...
breakfast- 2 cups baked kale chips with EVOO and garlic salt
    2, 16 oz BLack coffee, obvs!
Lunch- 1 cup spinach salad, with apple cider vinegar and EVOO, 4 sticks celery, 1/2 cucu's, green    
   apple
Dinner- 1 pork chop with cinnamon, 6 brussel sprouts
   snack- 2 hardboiled eggs and 3 tablespoons of almond butter!!!!

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!
Day 6 was a breeze and this is becoming dream month! The food is getting better and better! Who knew that sugar even in fruit was enough to spike your blood glucose to extreme levels.

I know paleo and this lifestyle isn't for everyone, but I think I found the perfect chemistry between the macronutrients that agree with me. Lots of fats, moderate protein (eggs, meat and nuts), and low to mod carbs in the forms for veggies.
 Before I was jacking up on the protein, making up for lost time I called it. Reformed Vegetarian of 10 years..... And I did gain some weight, but other things were going on too.

Dinner last night was amazing..... moose roast, sweet pot fries, squash stir fry, and asparagus with lemon tahini sauce (21DSD book)

For v day made the famous coconut muffins from the 21 day sugar detox and added unsweetened coconut flakes (dried).

And some cookies, that were an epic fail sans the agave nectar...... but I tried :) I also substituted the orange for some lemon zest and added a little coconut milk. Tastes great.... but they fall apart :/

My bad... i'm back

Been a while. School, work, teaching, life, or lack there of...... Husband and I started the 21 day sugar detox. December was  crappy month for sugar infested foods. Who needs holidays anyway.. they just get you fat.

Here are the items that I needed to buy to fill my cabinets

 for the 21 day detox. Werid mix, eh?

Round 2 of the muffins and cookies... Better this time

AH, steak.... enough said

On day 6 and almost cooked every recipe in the 21 day sugar detox book. Actually, have a few batchs of the coconut muffins and cookies under my belt.
