I can feel the difference in body and mind, and I am for once looking forward to continuing this journey of making myself healthier. I appreciate your coaching and guidance! My biggest takeaway, which you and I talked about a lot, was being okay with not being perfect each and every day. This time is different and I am letting myself have those moments of having a treat and not getting down on myself.  Here's to creating healthy habits! Thank you:)”

“Thank you for your patience and appreciate your support! Never really knew how much that meant to have the support until we started doing this and it really means a lot and it really helps because you have that person that you can bounce off of, you have that person that you can celebrate with, you have that person that can motivate you, so I really appreciate the one on one that has been the most helpful!"

"I have learned so much on this 21 day journey!  I never knew how much sugar is in everything, or even what a 'bad' oil was. I started reading labels and was shocked at what we were eating. Love love love all the recipe ideas and healthy swaps so we can still enjoy some of our favorites. The support, encouragement, and group camaraderie made this tough challenge doable!"

"For 60 years I was extremely active and weight loss was not a major issue for me. I felt like I didn't need to pay much attention to my intake but as I progressed into my 60s my weight increased steadily until I was 50 pounds over my desired body weight.

I was still exercising, but not as much, but I ate and drank whatever and whenever. When Skye introduced me to her detox program it was a no-brainer and perfect timing for me. My wife and I joined her group in mid-April and we were quite strict with ourselves and didn't cheat. After 21 days I had lost 12 pounds and I had zero desire to go back to my prior eating habits. With the exception of alcohol, I'm still following Skye's lists of foods to eat and avoid. I drink less alcohol than before and tend towards hard ciders, kambuchas and seltzer, with an occasional beer, margarita or red wine some days. I've experienced a few frustrating plateaus with my weight loss but have stayed the course.

Thus far I've lost about 25 pounds and I don't plan on changing my shopping list. Today's purchases included chicken sausage, corn on the cob, plain yogurt, blueberries, cottage cheese, hummus, carrots, tomatoes, eggs and hard kambucha. I no longer pop Pepcids each day due to heartburn and I generally feel much better. Go for it! Sign up for the 21-day detox. What do you have to lose?"

*Update: Dave is currently down 49 lbs as of early November 2023!

"This sugar detox was a great experience for me! I went into it hesitant and unsure whether or not I’d be able to make it the 21 days. Skye said it's about “progress not perfection”. There were some challenging days but I made it all the way through! I’m proud of myself! I’m hopeful this will be a lasting change for me. It isn’t just a sugar detox, Skye is there to help with so many aspects of health. The community of people going through the detox with you are wonderful as well. Everyone posting meal ideas, asking questions, talking about their struggles and successes. It’s great to have the support!  I’m happy to say that my face has cleared up, I’ve lost 10lbs, my stomach is flat, I’ve lost fat around my hips/love handles, and I have gained energy and the confidence I needed to improve my overall health! I would recommend this detox to anyone ready to take the step and put in the work! You are worth it!!!

"My WHY is my health as well as my quality of life. After a breast cancer diagnosis, chemo and 5 years of hormone blocking therapy, I'm at my highest weight ever.  I know I can do better and that's what I want for myself.  Thank you Skye, I am here because I am inspired by you. I wish I hadn't taken so long to commit!!

"I didn’t think I could do a sugar detox of any kind. But after listening to Skye’s podcast and reading her posts I started to realize how much sugar is in the food I was buying, and it made me feel determined to try life without any sugar. I used her guides to shop and was happy to be able to put together some delicious meals for my family that were good for us!  I know I won’t stay 100% sugar free but I have the knowledge now to keep our sugar intake to a minimum. I won’t feel as bad about occasional desserts since my regular meals will be sugar-free! Thank you Skye for this health-changing program you’ve created."

A blog post from author and podcast host Bobbi Chegwyn:

Five weeks ago I quit sugar.

It wasn't just a lifestyle change; it marked the beginning of a transformative journey that reshaped my relationship with food and, ultimately, my entire life. The experience, as you might expect, was a combination of challenges and rewards, unlike anything I had previously encountered.

The decision to quit sugar was like opening a door to a room I had spent years avoiding. Inside that room, I found a treasure trove of emotions I had been burying beneath sugary treats and alcohol, especially during the emotionally turbulent phase of my empty nest. It became clear that facing these long-suppressed emotions was a critical part of my journey.

The first step in this transformation was recognizing the emotional turmoil I had been going through. For years, I had used sugar and alcohol as crutches to help me navigate life's ups and downs. However, I began to understand that this coping mechanism was not helping me truly live but rather numbing my experiences and ruining not only my physical health but my mental, emotional, and spiritual health as well. It was time to confront the emotions I had been evading for far too long.

The second step was an invitation to my emotions. It was about allowing these emotions to surface and asking the difficult questions. I gave myself the space to process these feelings, even the challenging ones. I was unpacking the emotional baggage I had carried for years. In doing so, I gained an astonishing amount of personal insight.

As time went on, unexpected changes began to happen. A profound mental clarity and a renewed surge of energy emerged. It felt as though the fog I had been living under for so long had finally lifted. My focus and memory improved, and I embraced a more optimistic and self-assured version of myself.

The most amazing and welcome surprise was I found myself rekindling my spiritual side. My belief in the power of intention, prayer, and faith has always been unwavering. I've long seen them as forms of personal magic. As my sugar-free journey continued, I started to sense that the ability to manifest positive changes was more accessible than ever before. Signs and symbols from the universe seemed to guide me, further deepening my spiritual connection.

A vital aspect of my journey was sustainability. While I remain committed to my sugar-free lifestyle, I have also learned to allow myself occasional indulgences without guilt. They are too sugar-free, but little treats I normally wouldn't have. It's all about balance. Roughly 90% of the time, I focus on honoring my health goals, but that remaining 10% is a space where I can enjoy the occasional treat without any sense of regret.

Perhaps the most profound lesson from this transformation is that progress far outweighs the quest for perfection. You don't need to overhaul your life overnight. It's about taking one step at a time, seeking support, and maintaining a positive mindset. My sugar-free journey goes beyond diet; it's a journey toward becoming the best version of myself.

You might be wondering about any loss of weight.  I'm happy to say I'm down 10lbs without counting calories or following recipes.

I believe that if I can do it, anyone can embark on this transformation.

"Hi lovely lady! I just wanted to tell you, all of your positivity and postings on health have really resonated with me. I decided a few weeks ago to stop eating anything with obvious sugar (not worrying about hidden sugars right now-just no candy or other junk food) and I also stopped tracking every damn thing I ate-it doesn’t do anything but make me feel bad! I’m just trying to focus on eating real food as much as possible, within reason and not obsessing. As a result, my sugar cravings have dropped dramatically-I used to always have to have a little something sweet after dinner, and now I don’t even think about it. I’ve dropped a few lbs (I don’t have much to lose so even a few lbs is huge for me!) and I’m just feeling better overall" "
