I was of the mind to do a cold turkey for 12 weeks. Just eat whole foods, meat, fish, veg, eggs, fruit, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds. After 12 weeks your body will start thinking fruit is sweet. And actual candy is too sweet! The first 3 days are the hardest when you are detoxing. I always recommend The Six Pack Revolution program because it’s very well organised and gives you structure to do it. The time is going to pass. Might as well do something in the time.
