Rockin Meals Challenge Week 2 Meal Plan
Rockin Meals Challenge Week 2: No Sugar Meal Plan
Whether you are participating in the Rockin Meals Challenge or not, prepping your meals for the week ahead of time makes a huge difference. Below is the meal plan for Week 2: No Sugar of our Rockin Meals challenge, but all meals are also dairy-free, grain-free, and alcohol-free, perfect if you are doing the monthly challenge or a Whole30.
Keep in mind we are not cutting out natural sugars for this challenge, just added sugars like maple syrup, cane sugar, coconut sugar, glucose, etc. Read your labels for sneaky sugars! Sugar is snuck into everything from chicken broth to some pureed garlic paste. The reason we are doing 7 days no sugar (or no-sugar January for some of us) is because sugar can be extremely addicting, which means the more we have it, the more our body craves it. After this challenge, I’m sure you’ll find fruits tasting even sweeter and not reaching for that brownie for dessert every night.
I also encourage you to look at the habits you have around sugar. For example, if you are typically a sweets after dinner kind of person, you definitely could still get away with having fruit for dessert every day. Yes, it would be much healthier, but also much easier to fall back into your old habits once the challenge is over. I encourage you to try to remove the habit altogether that makes you reach for unhealthy food and replace it with something that’s good for you and your body. The whole goal is to not allow food to control you! But just to be intentional with the food we choose to put into our bodies. Now let’s get started with a killer meal plan!
