The biggest difference between The 21-Day Sugar Detox and Practical Paleo is that The 21-Day Sugar Detox is not inherently a Paleo nutrition program. Our current population has such an immense range of people eating what they think is healthy, but of course I’d disagree with most of them. With my experience and education as a holistic nutritionist, I recognize the real need to bridge the gap between what they are doing and a better way to do things.
I designed The 21-Day Sugar Detox to be more approachable than Paleo sometimes is for those people who are coming from eating lots of grains and refined foods. I don’t think people should just jump in; as I like to say, don’t be a hero. For example, The 21-Day Sugar Detox has 3 levels and level 1 includes gluten-free grains—it is a limited portion: things like rice, quinoa, and beans, which, of course is not included if you want to eat Paleo. But, if you are somebody who is eating Twinkies, drinking soda, and eating Hungry Man dinners filled with preservatives, then changing to a half a cup of brown rice in a day is an extremely important switch to make.
