They say it takes 21 days to change a habit,
or to create a habit or to drop a habit …
I don’t know if I completely believe that.
I think it just simply takes as long as it takes.

Why remove Sugar?

hey say it takes 21 days to change a habit, or to
create a habit or to drop a habit…I don’t know if I
completely believe that. I think it just simply takes
as long as it takes. Some people may grasp the changes
quicker than others while others may need a bit more time
to feel normalcy with the change. I work in the health and
wellness industry and it can be one of the most challenging
places to make / break habits.
When a health kick is started it often comes with a list of
new habits to add in and a list of habits to kick, and with the
excitement of the new “kick” the individual wants it all NOW
and tries to do everything all at once….. and this leads
10/10 to failure.

WEEK 1 HABIT CHANGE: Move your body 30 minutes a
day 3 days a week, minimum.
WEEK 2 HABIT CHANGE: Increase your water consumption by 1 full litre.
WEEK 3 HABIT CHANGE: G o to bed 1 hour earlier and
add your “essential Rituals” to your morning (Essential Ritual warm
water with fresh squeezed lemon and tumeric, fish oil, magnesium
and Vitamin D)
WEEK 4 HABIT
CHANGE: Remove SUG AR
and add 1 more day of exercise

Nobody can do everything all at once, we are human,
and good things take time and work.
I have come up with a 5 week laid back realistic
approach to implementing / changing your wellness
habits.

Celebrating 21 Years!

Sugar is potentially the most lethal
toxin we have in our world right
now. D ramatic? Maybe, but it is
considered drug and will and does
kill far too many North Americans.
THAT is why we cut sugar. It has
zero place in your health and wellness journey.
Why remove Dairy?
Dairy is an inflammatory. Inflammation is the root cause of all disease.
Pretty simple.
Here’s to your habit development
and your health!
