Go Sugar Free in February for Charity
With the success of NOSUGARVEMBER last year, I have had many requests to do it all over again, but this time let’s make it worthwhile.
Last week there was a major disaster in Haiti, so I have decided that we should band together to raise some money for this very worthy cause.
To sign up for SUGARFREEFEBRUAREE you must donate $25 to the Haiti earthquake appeal. You then send your receipt to me and you’re in the challenge.
So what is the challenge?
From the first day in February to the Last day in February, you are going to give up all sugar.
Here’s the rules:
Put your name down in the comment section of the Blog to sign up.
Donate $25 to the Haiti earthquake appeal and send me your confirmation.
https://www.oxfam.org.au/donate/current-appeals/haiti-earthquake-appeal/email?
or
https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp
When you mess up, which I am sure you will, at least once. You have to write down what you did on the blog for everyone to see. This alone will help to keep you on track. There is nothing like being accountable to keep you on track, let alone being accountable to everyone in the challenge!
Every time you mess up, it will cost you $10 towards the earthquake appeal. Write it down when you mess up and donate at the end of the month.
Get others to join you. The more people who join, the more people we will get off sugar and the more money we will raise!
Get others to sponsor you. The more people who sponsor you, the more likely you are to stick to the program and the more money we can raise! $1 per day that you stay sugar free is a good starting rate.
No refined sugar at all.
No sugar in tea or coffee.
No artificial sweeteners either!
No cakes, chocolates, lollies, soft drinks etc
No bottled fruit juice
No alcohol
No dried fruit
Only 2 serves of fruit per day. If weight loss is not your goals then feel free to have more than 2 pices of fruit per day.
No sweetened yogurt
No white potato
Only mulitgrain bread if you must have bread
Only basmati or brown rice if you must have rice
Pasta no more than twice a week
If you follow this, you are sure to trim away the bodyfat. I don’t like to make outrageous comments, but I am positive if you follow these rules, you will get leaner!
It really doesn’t take that long to change your tastebuds and reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. Try it for 28 days and see how you feel. Other than being thinner and healthier, I bet you won’t crave it as much either!
So what are waiting for. The challenge that will make you healthier and leaner is now going to raise money for a great cause!
Put your name down in the comments section with anything else that you might like to say and follow one of those above links to donate your $25 registration fee. Start telling people what you are doing and why you are doing it. Get them to do it with you or sponsor you if they need their sugar too much.
I am hoping for a huge list of names!

Hi Troy
I’ll be overseas for most of February, but I’m still going to make a donation. I’ll also sponser Kel for every day she goes without sugar (little extra pressure!).
Good luck to everyone, I did it last November and it was definately worth while !

I’m in! Have been gradually cutting the sugar out over the past months (since piking on NOSUGARVEMBER) and am looking forward to giving it a go for real in February. By the way, Troy, thanks for choosing the shortest month of the year…!
