I've already been incorporating Diane's first book, Practical Paleo, into my practice and the 21-Day Sugar Detox book is an exciting addition! Clients love Diane's practical way of teaching them how food works in their body and it really helps inspire and motive them to be compliant.
Although I believe Paleo is an extremely effective nutritional approach, I have clients that are not ready for that sort of change yet, so, as a practitioner, I need to respect that. One of the many reasons I am so excited about the 21-Day Sugar Detox, while the approach is still whole food based, it's not specifically a Paleo nutrition plan (although there is a level for that). It is a straightforward, approachable solution for anyone to get started on a new way to eating that can truly change their life.
Being able to teach with this book will save me a lot of time and effort because much of the work I would normally do for a client is already done. The 21-Day Detox book is a step-by-step guide that includes a little background on the whys, a self-quiz to assess which level you should start from, very clear Yes/No foods, suggestions on where and what to buy, meal plans, recipes, downloadable shopping lists, journals for tracking, and so much more. It also contains modifications for pescatarians (vegetarians that include seafood), those that have higher energy needs such as pregnant and nursing moms, athletes, and modifications for those with autoimmune conditions. I also love the small size, which is perfect to bring along while you shop and travel.
Diane Sanfilippo has a tremendous 21-Day Sugar Detox support system: the [...] website (and forum), the Balanced Bites Podcast, and she has even partnered with meal delivery services around the country (meals made with real food & are 21DSD compliant)! You can find her and 21-Day Sugar Detox support using the hashtag #21DSD or typing in "21-Day Sugar Detox" using the search tool) on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Youtube.
After finding success with the original 21-Day Sugar Detox online program, literally hundreds if not thousands of people out there have developed their own #21DSD recipes and have journaled their experience tagged: #21DSD. In fact, you can find all sorts of great support and recipes links with a #21DSD or "21-Day Sugar Detox" search! These are tips I share with my clients. It really helps support their success.
I am personally passionate about this way of eating because it has completely changed my life, that of my family's (most significantly a child that HAD significant asperger's like challenges), and has produced quick, and often dramatic positive health changes in my clients. Interestingly enough, most clients are mainly looking to lose weight but they all discover that most if not all of their health challenges are greatly reduced or often eliminated with this approach. They find improved digestion, energy levels, sleep, mood, joint pain and so much more.

Very Time Consuming, But Instant Family Favorite Recipes
I recently got this book because more and more my household is leaning toward ancestral eating. I enjoyed the detailed information in the beginning of the book that explains how sugar effects our body and what changes might occur when you remove it from your system. There are numerous plans in this book so that it will fit any lifestyle. I am currently a nursing mother and was excited to find that I could do the 21 Day Detox with a slight accommodation for my breastfeeding. My household participated without even knowing. I just cooked and provided snacks. My weight is down 4lbs after completing just seven days and my clothing is fitting great!There are many recipes that have become instant family favorites! The Mexi-Meatloaf has already been requested by extended family that helped eat the leftovers the day after (I posted the full page picture from the book). I found we had to cook slightly longer than the 60-70 minutes to get the middle to be no longer pink. My sugar cravings are curbed drastically and I'd be more likely to grab some homemade applesauce than ice cream right now. It resets your cravings to eliminate that which you crave.I highly recommend this book if you have the time to undertake reading (give yourself a week or so just to read), planning for and then cooking through the 21 days. It is very time consuming and elaborate due to the numerous changes and alterations you can make to your plan. The structure is easy to follow, if you have read and understand the abbreviations. The recipes are simple, and most take 30 - 45 minutes to prepare without cook time. The meals are decently sized they served my family of 3 with leftovers each night. I do not recommend this book to you if you do not have a lot of time. I think it may be discouraging, instead check out Sanfilippo's "Practically Paleo". This has recipes and a plan but not one as strict as this.My second picture is of one of the simple diagrams found in the informational section. Everything is very easy to understand and well illustrated.
