After the real estate market upswing, dining al fresco through all fall and winter 2020, and adapting to sticking to streaming with guru Tracy Anderson, I lost track of my wellness regime.  Weight piled on and although I was very busy in the real estate life I was feeling fatigued and suffering from inflammation.

I got back on track and meditated with the lovely Tamara Levitt via the Calm App.  I continued my streaming with Tracy Anderson 5-6 days a week and I joined my husband, Mark, and friend, Christina, to go on a Zero Sugar Detox for 30 days. 

I found it interesting that after the first 4 days I have not only dropped a significant amount of weight but gained clarity and an enormous amount of energy.  My sleep was deeper and I felt calmer within.



Here are the sugars I am staying away from and experiencing  amazing results:

I also incorporated 16:8 intermittent fasting and once I cut off the sugar I was no longer hungry or starving.  Most of my 2-3 meals that I nourish my body within the 8 hour window consist of protein, vegetables, and good fats.

For those of you unfamiliar with 16:8 intermittent fasting, according to our friends at healthline it can be described as this: “16/8 intermittent fasting involves eating only during an eight-hour window during the day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours. It may support weight loss, improve blood sugar, boost brain function, and increase longevity. “

Additionally, in an excerpt from Zero Sugar Diet: “By replacing empty calories with essential ones—swapping in whole foods and fiber and swapping out added sugars, you’ll conquer your cravings and prevent the blood sugar surge that leads to some of the worst health scourges in America today, including abdominal fat, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, liver disease, fatigue, and tooth decay. 

You, too, can melt away belly fat, boost your energy levels and metabolism, and take control of your health and your life, armed with a comprehensive grocery list of fresh produce, proteins, whole grains, and even prepared meals, accompanied by two weeks’ worth of fiber-rich breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack recipes and real-life results from successful Zero Sugar dieters. The fat-burning formula for long-term weight loss and optimal health is at your fingertips. Join in the crusade and say goodbye to added sugars and goodbye to your belly with Zero Sugar Diet.”

As I continue the wellness series for 2021 I will share all the gains from this 30 day zero sugar challenge.  As of this moment I lost 9.5 pounds and feel like Wonder-Woman!

Stay tuned for February’s wellness journey.
