Fed Up Challenge Diary – Day 1

Hi sugar free sociopaths! Sugar free scavengers? Spectators? Sexy snobs? Sucralose shirkers?

I’m done. Pinky swear.

I thought I’d do a quick diary showing my first day of this 10-day sugar free challenge. You’re doing it with me, right?

Cool beans.

I’m sorry I said cool beans.

Here’s what I ate today:
Fed Up Challenge Diary - Day 1 - Here's how I did the first day of the sugar free challenge!

  • Plain yogurt (Siggi’s brand). I added my own raspberries and sprinkled Grape-Nuts cereal on top. It’s a crunchy breakfast sundae! The yogurt is really sour. You’ve been warned.
  • Roasted cashews
  • Milk
  • 2 pieces of Ezekiel bread with raisins (yes, the raisins have natural sugar in them, but not added sugar)
  • A really good steak salad with sauteed bell peppers and red wine vinaigrette

I have a weird work schedule where I don’t take a lunch, so you won’t see an official lunch here. Just more snacky things during the lunch hour.

How did you do on your first day? Tell me all about it! Get those sugar frustrations out. 🙂

Want to see how I did on days 2-5? Go here.

    Hi, I wanted to know what were your thoughts on drinking coconut water during this challenge? It’s day 4 and I’m doing okay. still getting headaches etc. and i think the coco water will really help but i dont want to defeat the purpose of doing the challenge. thanks for your help.

      I’ve personally never tried coconut water but it is technically a “juice” and therefore not allowed during the challenge. If it’s bottled coconut water, read the label. Some of them have added sweeteners. And although it’s true that pure fruit juices don’t have any added sugar in them, they don’t recommend drinking your natural sugars, because you’re not getting the other benefits of the fruit that is in the pulp. Which is why fruit is allowed, in moderation, but not fruit juice.

      However, there are certainly worse things you could cheat with. I’d rather you have a few sips of coconut water than a soda or cookies. 🙂

      For example, I have an upcoming recipe that I’m going to post (a dessert) and since it has no sugar or honey, I’m making it with a couple of tablespoons of fresh orange juice. I figured it wasn’t enough juice to really demolish my progress and is being dispersed throughout the recipe. But if we want to get nit picky, it’s not allowed.

    Hi, first day went well and I was really proud of myself! I made my own muesli for breakfast full of nuts, seeds and oats and a dash of cinnamon. The plain, unsweetened, probiotic yogurt that I added however was horrendous!! The only thing that got me through the ordeal was a banana chopped up with it!
    I had trouble finding completely sugar free bread, but I ended up with a wholegrain loaf with 2.5g sugar per two slices.
    All in all, going well ??

      Hi Emma – great job! Have you tried Ezekiel bread? Another option is to go to someplace like Panera Bread and have them slice a loaf for you. They’ll let you look at the ingredients list.
