One of the trickiest things about eliminating (or slashing!) something from your diet is that for some reason, the more aware we are that we are avoiding something, the more it seems to be on our mind.One of the best of the best ways I’d recommend to combat this is to have a plan for what you ARE going to eat, not what you AREN’T or CAN’T eat.We put together a sample meal plan for a day to help you get started on the right track. Think of this as a template for clean eating for your week and just make substitutions for like items (fruit for fruit, nut for nut, protein for protein, etc.) each day. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to forget about sugar when you’re focused on all the great food out there! Obviously your size and activity level will dictate the portion size- but use your best judgement. You can always defer to our full sample meal plans here if you really want a full roadmap for the week (Note that some of the items in the sample meal plans do have added sugar).BreakfastFried Egg in Coconut or Olive OilBerry Protein ShakeMorning SnackAlmondsClementineLunchGrilled Chicken Caesar Salad
