Here’s what people are saying about the program

❝When I get hungry, I less often feel the shakes of hypoglycemia. My clothes feel like they fit me differently around the middle of my body. This is the first time that I've gone no-added-sugar for any length of time. I've found some new ingredients and food staples that I will continue to incorporate into my diet, moving forward.
It was supportive.❞

❝Being free of daily sugar is a game changer for my health and life, and the program support is a really great way to do that!❞

Y.H.

❝I have a long list of new recipes and food ideas, and my kitchen is better stocked.❞

M.V.

❝It’s a lot easier than you think. In the end, you feel great and you can learn a lot. Break those bad habits! It was super fun, especially as a teen.❞

Macie W.

❝The No-Added-Sugar-Challenge raised my awareness of the hidden added sugar in the foods I was eating and drinking. I've changed by shopping and eating habits for the better after completing the challenge. Thanks for creating a very worthwhile experience for me. I am very glad that I participated.❞

E.S.

❝Enlightening and not nearly as hard as it sounds. It will change the way you think about sugar and all food in general.❞

A.B.

❝This was a real wake-up call to the amount of sugar in our food. I did not think of myself as a sugar addict but I was surprised by how much sugar is in the foods I eat that I consider healthy (Go Lean cereal, Chobani fruit yogurt, fruit and nut granola bars). This one month challenge was a great way to make changes I plan on keeping.❞

E. Lindberg

❝When I first heard about this program, I was definitely in the "I don't know if I could live without chocolate" class! I've known others who have given up sugar and I never understood why, and/or felt it was something I could ever do. All the more reason to sign up and try! I couldn't believe--after the first week--that it wasn't as hard as I had always imagined. Learning more about why sugar is toxic for our bodies and comparable to addictive substances (that companies capitalize on) has changed how I think about it. A LOT! Plus, I feel great and proud of myself for staying off completely for a month+.

This experience exceeded my expectations and I very much appreciate you letting us be your guinea pigs! We're the ones who benefitted!❞
