No White Foods Challenge

No White Foods Challenge


In this week's challenge you must not eat white foods for the next 7 days. The No White Foods Diet is a low glycemic diet that eliminates foods low in nutrition and high in starchy carbohydrates and sugar. During the next 7 days while participating in the No White Foods Challenge, you will eliminate all refined white foods, most importantly white sugar and flour — both of which send blood sugar levels skyrocketing. For pre-diabetics, diabetics, and people who need to lose weight, controlling insulin and blood sugar are mandatory.
