The 21-Day Sugar Detox giveaway (and winners of the Balanced Bites Cooler Bag giveaway!)

I like Balanced Bites on Facebook and follow you on Twitter. I’d love to win this because I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your blog and other posts and would expect the book to be interesting and informative, as well. I’m not quite sure yet if I’d give this as a gift to someone I know would love it or be selfish and keep it myself.

I am writing this comment during a brief window where sugar is not controlling my behavior. Please don’t tell sugar I’m doing this, but I need to get it out of my life for good. Sugar is making me crazy and I have been trying to quit on my own and can’t. The longest I’ve gone is 9 days. I liked you on FB and Twitter and liked the sugar detox page on both too!

I like you on FB!

I liked Balanced Bites on FB and subscribed via email. Winning this contest would mean freedom. I feel as if I have come as far as I can doing paleo 85% of the time on my own. Having the boost of The 21 Day Sugar Detox would give me a different outlook on how I eat. Right now, I eat paleo most of the time but I’m still a slave to sugar, and I need help! Thank you for doing this.

I liked you on facebook and have been following you on twitter for a while. I want to win because sugar is the one thing that is holding me back in following a fully paleo diet. I want to be as healthy as I can be!

I already liked Balanced Bites on Facebook and I subscribed to Balanced Bites newsletter /blog.
I want to win because I am having a hard time eliminating sugar from my diet and need all the help I can get. I want to be better informed and feed my family better.

im subscribed to the email newsletter!

I have done 1 and 2! I used to be a healthy weight but then I went back to school and it all went downhill. Suddenly eating breakfast and dinner and McDonalds’s seemed like the only option and the weight crept on. over the past few years since getting my masters I have dramatically changed my eating habits. I stopped drinking soda and sugary beverages (now only drinking water, tea and water flavored with fruit slices) and have nearly entirely sworn off processed foods! I have never felt better but I still have some weight I want to lose. I think the 21 day sugar detox is just what I need to push me over the edge. More importantly I want to help inspire others around me to live a healthier lifestyle and If I win I will give the book to my sister-in-law who just had a baby 3 months ago and also wants to get back to a healthier weight, and in the long run a healthier lifestyle. I think if people can see that they can live without sugar (and more importantly live without all of the unhealthy foods sugar hides in) they will feel better about themselves and live a longer and happier life.

I would like to win this book because, in the last year, I have taken steps to get healthier (272lbs to 180lbs) and I am now working out 5-6 hours a week. My problem is that I come home after these workouts and continue to eat processed foods and sweets and excuse my language, “crap”. I have managed to stay away from soda BUT I am having the WORST time giving up much else. I have made a vision board that helps when I am at home….to an extent but I need to get eating under control and kick this habit in order to be healthy on the inside and out!

Thank you for your consideration!

Already follow both on Facebook and twitter.

I would like to win because I have a weakness for treats. They are always “Paleo Friendly” but when we make them its like crack. I want to just eat all of them and crave them. I want to have better self control.

Hi Diane! I just liked your FB page. (and have been following you on Twitter for a while!) I have been a semi-follower of the Paleo lifestyle since May of this year, but besides a 30-day Challenge, I have not been able to learn enough self-control and would love a kick-start to get back on the Paleo bandwagon, since I always feel better when I eat this way! Thanks

I joined your email list and liked your 21 Day Sugar Detox on Facebook. I would love to win this because I am due for a good sugar-detoxing, and it would be great to get it over with before the new year!

I would really like to win this giveaway because I need to! I have 3 boys ages 5,4, and almost 3. I am exhausted everyday. The little energy I have I force myself to use at the gym so that I can maintain the rest of the day. I keep up with my kids by totally abusing caffeine and energy drinks. My adrenals have to be screaming a silent plea! I really need to reset and recover my body so that I am my best for me and my family. I think the 21 Day Sugar Detox would be an awesome tool for that! Thanks for the consideration and generosity! Ericka

Hi! I’d love to win – sugar is my ONE downfall from a good paleo diet, and has really prevented me from really having a grip on eating well and being in control of my nutrition. Otherwise, I have felt really great on the paleo lifestyle and lost 12 pounds. I LOVE sugar and candy and am hoping to try to nip the last bad habit in the butt!

I’ve subscribed to your email and liked balanced bites and the sugar detox on Facebook. I’d love to win because I’ve discovered I’m addicted to sugar!

i like and follow you on facebook and twitter!

i’d love to win because the hardest thing for me since going paleo is kicking the sugary stuff so i could use some help!

I have been silently following you for quite some time. After a recent trip to urgent care and basically spending the whole month of November identifying what’s wrong with my stomach (have to have my gallbladder removed!), I sensed that it’s time to re-balance my life, including taking a more balanced approach to bites….

Ie just found you via Pinterest! I’ve been attempting the Paleo lifestyle for almost 30 days (minus my birthday and Thanksgiving). I’ve never felt better . . . but my blood pressure is still inexplicably high. (Not overweight, no family history, don’t smoke, etc.) It’s time to quit “attempting” the lifestyle and start LIVING it!

I already get the news letters. I would love to win because the book sounds super cool and I bet it’s informative. I’m always struggling with sugar….and have been looking for good ways and motivation to get it out of my diet! : )

Did all 3! – I wanna win cause I need to get over this fruit sugar problem …

I subscribed via email to the Balanced Bites newsletter/blog updates. I cannot wait to learn more I want to win the book to learn more about Paleo and to further improve my health.

I liked BB on FB. I have been Paleo for about 8 months now but have recently fallen back on emotional eating, so I would like to win this book to get myself back on track.

I liked everything that is was possible to like and followed both accounts on twitter AND signed up w/balanced bites via email, in addition to reposting this post about the contest on my facebook page. (whew!)
The reason that I would like to win is because I am desperate to lose 120 lbs and have recently become interested in primal/paleo living. I have WICKED sugar and carb cravings that are making it extremely challenging to stick with the paleo lifestyle. I have been putting off getting married for over four years because I don’t want to be a “fat bride”, but it seems that no matter what I try (weight watchers, jenny craig, south beach, the biggest loser, LA Diet, etc.) I just seem to be getting fatter and fatter. I also have terrible digestion and skin issues. HELP!!!!!

Cheers,

Christina

I would really love the opportunity to win this book. I have struggled with sugar addiction my whole life. When I was younger it seemed cute and funny to always want to eat candy. Now as I am approaching middle age, it’s not so funny finding myself making specific stops at the store, scarfing down king size candy bars, hiding bags of candy in my house. I would like sugar not to have a complete hold over me any more.

i follow you on facebook and absolutely love all of the awesome recipes you offer. i am a holistic nutritionist and would love for all of my folks to eat paleo (not an easy task)and as sugar-free as possible (an even harder task). this would be a great tool to add to my collection to help folks get off sugar and feel better. thanks for being an inspiration!

I liked your BB page on Facebook after hearing a bit about the detox from a friend. I am 43 and have struggled with crippling headaches for 30 years. After years spent seeing acupuncturists, massage therapists, doctors, chiropractors etc. with no lasting relief, I am desperate to feel better! I have only recently begun to look at my diet as a potential source of my headaches and am eager to try the 21-day detox to see if I feel better. I also want to get my husband on the diet because he works very long hours, eats unhealthy foods, and is always fatigued! Thanks for your consideration.

It’s time for positive change

I subscribed to your newsletter (under a different email) and I need this program, because all my healthy eating changes are undermined by continuing to eat sugar. I can’t get it to go away and stay away.

I want to see your program in action…cause I think your are awesome!

i follow balanced bites on facebook

i am a sugar junkie. if i wake up in the middle of the night, my body craves a piece of chocolate to soothe itself to self. when i wake up in the morning, the first thing i want to eat is chocolate. when i get stressed/sad/tired/discouraged/etc/etc/etc all i want is sweet, full-fat chocolate. however, if there isn’t any chocolate i’d totally settle for some rock candy or sour patch kids or starbursts. i’ve given up sugar before and felt WONDERFUL! but it’s so hard getting back to that place…

I am a huge fan of your blog and really enjoyed your workshop that my husband and I attended. I brought some of my clients with me and it was an eye opening experience for them! I really want to pass the 21-Day Sugar Detox along to my mom who has been struggling with type 1 diabetes and can’t seem to kick the sugar habit! Thanks for everything you do!

I would love to win the book as I’ve just started living a healthier lifestyle and would love to start cutting sugar out of my diet.

I followed you on Twitter and if ANYONE needs a sugar detox, it’s me! An old coworker emailed me recently reminiscing how I “massacred herds of sugar packets” in my morning coffee … an ex called my daily cup “desert coffee”. Things don’t get better as the day progresses, either. I have an unrivaled sweet tooth. I’d love a copy of the Sugar Detox to help me to FINALLY transition to a paleo diet. I’ve read all of the books and sites and I’m sold. In spite of my buy-in, I just can’t seem to resist chocolate chip pancake dinners and adhere to a paleo diet.

I liked you on Facebook. I want to win because I need to do this. I am 150 lbs overweight and have a serious sugar addiction. I have been living mostly Paleo for a year now, but just can’t get rid of the sugar. I feel horrible and want to be free from this.

Having completed steps 1, 2 and 3, I would like to win for several reasons, the most important of which is that since my recent unemployment I have been been mindful of having better health and have improved in my eating habits, but still have been unable to master the sugar detox, I’m hoping that winning would be the blessing that gets me over the hump.

I like you on Facebook, follow you on twitter and get your emails. I would love to win so that I can finally kick the sugar habit that I’ve fallen back on despite going “paleo” in April. I succumb to the temptations that come from being the mother of 3 small boys and turn to sugar to handle stressful days. I’d love to learn how to stop that cycle!

I just liked The 21-Day Sugar Detox on Facebook. I am already a fan of your Balanced Bites page on Facebook and I subscribe to you enewsletter. I have listened to all of your podcasts and really enjoy your style. You make it informative, but not difficult to understand. I have very real issues with sugar! Lately it seems my addiction has returned (have been eating Paleo for about a year) and I am having a super hard time removing it completely. I hope to win and have the program help me to move past the control sugar can have over me. Then, I want to share how I did it with family and friends. I already preach the wonders of Paleo!

I would like to own this information either way, but winning it would be awesome. My busband & I have been eating whole unprocessed foods for 3 months now. We get a lot of recipes from the paleo world as it fits our grain free life style best from a reipe stand point. He has had weight lost sucess to about 25#, ut I have seen no change. I know this is due to my sugar indulgence. I try to eat “healthy” sugar, but… I need to kick this to the curb. Thanks for your info.

I want to win because I just finished my first year of college and would like to get rid of the freshman 15. I already follow Balanced Bites on twitter, which is where I heard about the giveaway!
