Feeling sluggish, bloated, or always hungry soon after eating? You might not be getting enough fiber, or maybe you’re consuming too many added sugars that spike your energy — only to crash it later.
This 7-day low-sugar, high-fiber meal plan is made for beginners and focuses on plant-based meals that are both easy to prepare and nourishing. We emphasize foods that are naturally high in fiber and protein to keep you full, support digestion, and balance blood sugar levels — while skipping the sugar highs and lows.
Why This Plan Works
Fiber plays a key role in managing:
- Blood sugar
- Appetite
- Gut health
- Energy levels
Added sugars, on the other hand, do the opposite — spiking blood sugar and increasing cravings. This plan includes:
- Whole grains like oats, quinoa & brown rice
- Legumes like chickpeas, lentils & black beans
- Healthy fats from nuts, seeds & avocado
- Naturally sweet foods (no refined sugar!)
- At least 25g of fiber per day
