AFTER THE DETOX GUIDE

transitioning from
the 21-day sugar detox
to everyday life
Often the last week of the 21DSD leaves you wondering how you’ll ease back into your “normal” life, or
what foods you want to splurge on now that the program is over.
Here’s my take on how to re-introduce foods after your detox has come to an end.
Before jumping off the deep-end and burying yourself in a pile of grain-free baked goods or a bottle of
wine, consider the following:

+ How do you feel now that you’ve changed your food?


+ How do you think you’ll feel if you eat something you estimate is less-than-healthy for you?
+ If you think you’ll feel less-than-optimal, how long will that feeling last?
+ Will the ill-health effects of the foods you want to eat again last more than a
couple of hours? More than a day? More than a week?
+ What will you be disrupting with the foods: blood sugar or digestive function?
+ Has the time and energy commitment that’s gone into avoiding the food(s)
added more stress to your life than it alleviated signs and symptoms of ill health?

Ultimately it’s up to you to choose what and how often you’ll add certain foods back into your
regularly scheduled food programming, but considering the above questions is a good idea. You’ll
become a lot more MINDFUL of your choices, rather than allowing them to become defaults simply
because they are habits or they represent the easy way out.

To safely and slowly add some naturally occurring sugars (like fruit) and starches back into your
diet, take care to consider the portions and timing of these foods. Fruits should not be eaten alone
if you have had problems with blood sugar regulation and cravings. Eat small portions of berries or
half a piece of fruit if you’re not a very active person, or larger portions if you are more active. Starchy
foods are best consumed on days when you are more active, and specifically in the meal following
your activity. Otherwise, keep portions of starchy foods to a minimum, and don’t allow them to mo-
nopolize your plate if weight maintenance is your goal. If you simply want to avoid cravings and you
feel okay when you resume eating some starchy foods, then you can enjoy root vegetables, tubers like
sweet potatoes, and squash more frequently.

Continue to avoid refined foods such as bread, pasta, cereal, and other products made from flour
and purchased in packages—these are never healthy options.

AFTER THE DETOX GUIDE

post-detox
food re-introduction
1. Print out the Post-Detox Food Re-Introduction Log and begin tracking any new symptoms as
you reintroduce new foods. Print one log for each food you reintroduce. On day three of every
introduction, make an assessment on how that food may or may not fit into your everyday eating
plan.

2. Select one food to reintroduce at a time, then chart for that day and the following two days - a
total of 3 days / 72 hours.

3. Using the chart, detail foods you ate each day and note any changes in the following for
three days:
• Mood
• Energy
• Appetite
• Digestive function like bloating, gas, loose stool or diarrhea
• Headaches
• Inflammation
• Brain fog or mental clarity.

4. Assess your reactions. Your notes will be some of the best guides you have as to whether or not
you are sensitive to the food you just re-introduced. Food sensitivity reactions can happen immediate-
ly or can have delayed-onset for up to around 72hrs (3 days!).

Once the first food has been tested, select the next food to try and continue this way, one at a time, for
three days at a time, before introducing the next new food.

NOTE: I don’t actually recommend EVER re-introducing gluten containing grains like wheat, barley,
rye and oats into your diet, nor do I recommend making pasteurized dairy or unfermented soy prod-
ucts any regular part of your life. These foods are shown to contribute to a myriad of health problems
and, typically, tend to crowd-out much more health promoting options like vegetables, well-raised
meat & eggs and healthy, naturally occurring fats in the diet.

AFTER THE DETOX GUIDE

Some foods to first consider reintroducing:


+ Fruit: Whole, fresh fruit can certainly have a regularly appearing role in your diet, but
finding a balance and not overdoing it is important.

+ Grass-fed dairy (if you were on Level 3 of the detox): Missing your yogurt? Try adding it
back in and see how you do. I recommend only buying grass-fed forms of dairy to consume in
your home, but you may find you can later enjoy goat cheese in an omelet while dining out from
time to time with no ill effects. Or not. See how it goes for you.

+ Dark chocolate: I’m talking 80-85% or higher – it’s low in sugar and a good source of
antioxidants. Most folks don’t tend to overindulge in too much of it when it’s super dark. Look
for an organic chocolate, preferably soy-free.

+ Gluten-free grains or legumes (if you were on Level 2 or 3 of the detox): if you want to
test white rice, quinoa, or maybe some black beans, they’re a good choice to add in and track.

+ A glass of wine: Now, I’m not one to vote for you to drink daily after your detox, but
finding out how you feel after consuming wine again if you previously drank often is a good
idea. Perhaps you don’t find it triggers cravings for you, or you don’t have any hangover effects.
If that’s the case, including a glass once or twice a week again may work well for you.

Eat whole foods. Avoid foods that are modern, processed, and refined. Eat as close to nature as possible, and avoid
foods that cause stress for the body (blood sugar, digestion, etc.). Eat nutrient-dense foods to maintain energy levels.
Enjoy your food, and hold positive thoughts while you consume it.

Choose fats and oils based on: 1. How they’re made—choose naturally occurring, minimally processed options
first; 2. Their fatty acid composition—the more saturated they are, the more stable/less likely to be
damaged or oxidized; 3. Smoke point—this tells you how hot is too hot before you will damage the
fats, though it should be considered a secondary factor to fatty acid profile.

guide to: gluten
What is it? Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye oats, and barley. Gluten is the composite of a prolamin
and a glutelin, which exist, conjoined with starch, in the endosperm of various grass-related grains. Gliadin,
a water-soluble, and glutenin, a water-insoluble, (the prolamin and glutelin from wheat) compose about
80% of the protein contained in wheat seed. Being insoluble in water, they can be purified by washing
away the associated starch. Worldwide, gluten is a source of protein, both in foods prepared directly
from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein.
