How to Reduce Sugar Intake: 7, 30, and 90-Day Recovery Plan
A structured plan to reduce sugar intake through meal planning, trigger tracking, and sustainable behavior change.
Overview
Reducing sugar is easier when you target the system around cravings, not only the craving itself.
First 24 Hours
Stabilize meals and hydration to lower urgency. Remove obvious high-sugar defaults from your environment.
First 7 Days
Track time-of-day and emotional triggers. Prepare replacements for the top two high-risk moments.
First 30 Days
Shift to repeatable meal routines and improve sleep/stress patterns that amplify sugar cravings.
By Day 90
At 90 days, focus on consistency through travel, social events, and high-stress weeks.
Relapse Recovery Plan
After a setback, restart at the next meal, not next week. Review what failed and pre-commit your next recovery action.
