Know the Rules

 

Simple rules should give you clarity, simplicity, and clear yes vs no during the challenge. Rules give you flexibility too. Paradox, I know! as Monica Geller says.

Now it’s time to know what the rules of the challenge will be. And they are quite simple to remember 🙂

The Challenge 5 Rules

There are 5 simple rules for the Great No Sugar Challenge:

1.. ​We avoid sugar in all its forms and grains in all their forms. However, we can eat up to 1 slice of bread a day.

​2. ​When waking up, we drink 2-3 glasses of clean water. We continue with clean water drinks, including tea & coffee with clean water, throughout the day.

​3. ​We take supplements ​3 ​times a day as directed. We stick to the brands, doses, and timing for the supplements to help your body repair damage.

​4. ​We stick to a simple food list. The list includes foods we can eat freely in the challenge and ​​eat with restriction. We avoid foods that are ​”​out of the challenge​” list​​​​​.

​5. ​When hungry, we eat freely repair fats and repair carbs from the “eat freely” list. We can eat up to three portions of repair protein a day.
