How to Start With This Template

Create the Agreement

Start from this template, define what counts as no sugar for the month, and list any planned exceptions before Day 1.

Invite Your People

Bring in friends, a partner, or a small group so the challenge stays shared and visible long after the first week.

Check In and Share Proof

Use one daily check-in with a short log, food photo, or confirmation so private drift gets caught early.

Handle Slips and Reset

If someone slips, apply the agreed consequence and reset at the next check-in so one event does not break the month.
