Mira Quinn had always been a high-achiever—juggling work, parenting, and grad school. But by her mid-thirties, she hit a wall.
“I was constantly tired, no matter how much I slept,” she says. “Coffee stopped helping.”

“I thought I didn’t eat that much,” Mira recalls. But once she began reading labels, she was shocked. Granola bars, salad dressings, even sauces were packed with hidden sugars.
Determined to reclaim her energy, Mira built a new meal plan from scratch. The key wasn’t to eliminate sweetness altogether, but to replace added sugars with whole foods—fruit, cinnamon, even unsweetened cocoa.
Breakfast became steel-cut oats with banana and almond butter. Lunches were veggie-rich soups or quinoa bowls. She sipped sparkling water with lemon instead of soda, and made her own sauces using herbs and vinegar.
Within a week, Mira noticed her brain fog lift. Her energy lasted throughout the afternoon. And surprisingly, she didn’t crave sugar as much anymore.
“I realized sugar was sneaking in everywhere and draining me,” she says. “Now I feel like I’ve taken back control.”
