No Flour, No Sugar Diet

Foods containing added sugar and refined flour are nutrient-poor, unlike foods containing whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes which are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. The No Flour, No Sugar Diet reduces the so-called 'empty' calories of refined carbohydrate-based foods, also frequently high in fat (such as pizza and donuts).


The No Flour, No Sugar lifestyle encourages selection of foods without significant sugar and refined flour content, based on interpretation of food labels. Exercise is also mentioned (half an hour a day). No counting of calories is suggested.

Sample Meal Plans

Breakfast: Omelet muffin, fresh strawberries
Morning Snack: Diced cantaloupe
Lunch: Greek salad
Afternoon: No-sugar-added yogurt
Dinner: Chicken breasts in Rosemary-Dijon sauce, spinach salad with tomato vinaigrette, steamed brown rice


Breakfast: Whole-grain cereal (with no flour or added sugar), nonfat milk, fresh peach
Morning Snack: Diced pineapple
Lunch: Green salad with water-packed tuna, sliced tomato, shredded carrot, and no-sugar-added vinaigrette
Afternoon: Spiced Edamame (Soy beans in the pod)
Dinner: Meatballs in tomoto sauce and baked polenta with fresh corn


Breakfast: Basic Crepe filled with sliced lean ham and reduced-fat cheese; sliced apple
Morning Snack: 1 stalk celery fille with reduced-fat, no-sugar-added peanut butter
Lunch: Taco salad with spiced prawns
Afternoon: Spiced Edamame
Dinner: Curry yogurt chicken, steamed or sautéed zucchini, steamed brown rice

Conclusion
Most people who eliminate from their diet foods containing refined flour and sugar will lose weight. A No Flour, No Sugar Diet works, especially if part of a healthy lifestyle.
