30-Day No Sugar Experiment

A simple, time-boxed reset: zero added sugar for 30 days. Observe changes in energy, cravings, mood, skin, weight, or habits.

Test how eliminating added sugar affects your daily experience — without pressure to continue forever.

Win: No added sugar (table sugar, honey, syrups, candy, soda, desserts, sweetened drinks, processed foods with sugar listed in top 3 ingredients).
Allowed: Natural sugars in whole fruit, plain dairy (if not sweetened), unsweetened beverages.
Clarification: If a label lists sugar, cane sugar, syrup, juice concentrate, or similar as an ingredient, it counts as added sugar.
Minimum viable day: If craving hits, use fruit, dark chocolate (85%+ cocoa), or herbal tea.
Start date: Any day — no need to wait for New Year.
Duration: 30 days (extend or stop early if it makes sense).

Important: If you have blood sugar issues (diabetes, hypoglycemia), consult a doctor before making major dietary changes.

Your 30-Day Tracker

Current streak: 0 days
Longest streak: 0 days
Completion: 0% • Days since start: 0

Days 1–3: Possible headaches, irritability, strong cravings (sugar withdrawal). Hydration & protein help.
Days 4–7: Energy stabilizes, cravings often peak then drop, better taste sensitivity (things taste sweeter naturally).
Days 8–14: Steadier energy (no crashes), clearer skin for many, reduced bloating, improved mood.
Days 15–30: Cravings usually minimal, better focus, potential weight loss (fewer empty calories), stronger habit control.

Results vary widely — this is personal data collection, not guaranteed outcomes.

Danger zone: Days 3–10 — strongest cravings and social temptations.
Miss tolerance: One slip → ~65–75% chance of finishing strong if you restart immediately.
Calorie math example: Cutting 200–400 kcal/day from sweets/drinks → potential 0.5–3 kg difference over 30 days (varies by person).

Come back here at day 30 (or whenever you stop) and note:
