How Does Sugar Free 3 Work?

The Sugar Free 3 eating plan is simple. There are only two main categories of food on the program — Allowed and Not Allowed — and the list of what’s allowed is surprisingly extensive. You’ll be eating chicken, burgers, steak, vegetables, fruit, potatoes, nuts…even cheese. You can even indulge in a once-a-week “Mindful Indulgence” — a treat of your choice from the Not Allowed list.

Throughout the three-week program, you’ll be guided by a series of short, info-filled videos where Michele, along with renowned dietitian Keri Glassman, MS, RD, CDN, will teach you how to read a food nutrition label to find the sneaky places sugar is hiding and provide weight-loss tips. Plus, you’ll learn how to dine out while on the program and hear more of Michele’s favorite eating hacks and craving-crushers.

In addition, you’ll have access to Michele’s 21 “Sweet Talk” motivational videos to inspire you each day of the program, as well as 21 step-by-step recipe videos showing you how to make a wide range of Sugar Free 3-approved meals.

All the videos and tools you’ll need are right on the Openfit app, including a complete, customizable 21-day meal plan with delicious Sugar Free 3-approved recipes, most that can be prepared in about 30 minutes.

How Can Sugar Free 3 Help?

Michele set out to make Sugar Free 3 doable — and to ensure the plan is easy to follow, even for people with busy, hectic lives. She shows you exactly what to eat and what to avoid, step-by-step, while enjoying delicious (and nutritious) whole foods that will keep you satisfied — you don’t have to give up all your carbs, count calories, or feel hungry and deprived.

Best of all, the program takes only three weeks. “It’s not something you have to adhere to long term,” she says, “but the longer you do it, the more benefits you’ll reap.”

And those benefits are hard to ignore. “When you live a sugar-free lifestyle,” Glassman says, “you’ll reduce cravings for sweets, feel sharper and more focused, and experience fewer energy fluctuations. There’s a clear connection, especially if you target added sugars, which is exactly what this plan does.”
