Monica101 I had orange juice. Can I use it as s pass, since I have one left.? I drank it because I grew sick.
-
annefood Hey Monica101 ! So sorry to hear you are sick. Was the orange juice 100% fruit juice? It so, then it doesn't have any added sugar and you don't need to take a free pass. We recommend drinking juice...

Monica101 Yes the oj it was 100% . I will use my last pass. Thank you so much.

The program is telling me to enter a code but when I try, the program does not recognize it. Is there a particular coded need. I will love to start my health habit journey but it will not allow to ...

DietID_TeamDietitians Hi @Monica101. You can choose a challenge without entering a code. Just go to the My Challenge tab (2nd tab) and you should see a list of challenges to choose from. Pick one from that list, choose...

Monica101 Thank you so much. I noticed some did not have levels but I think it was not tailored to my starting goal. Once again thank you. If you don't mind, may I add you to my buddy list since I am new.

DietID_TeamDietitians Great! I'm glad you were able to choose one. Yes, you most definitely can add me as a buddy =). I'm currently doing the Eat 5 fruits and veggies challenge.
I need tips on how to avoid sweets when you have to be in the same room as them for a long time.
In Jazz class, the teacher always has sweets and its hard to say no when the table is right next to the piano (where i have to sit) for the entire class period. Any tips on how to tell myself to sa...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Gosh, that sounds like torture! But rest assured, we have some ideas for you. First, you can ask the teacher to either move the candy bowl or put it away during class. When it's out of sight, it's...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter When I was studying nutrition, my professors were nerdy and brought us apple slices and carrot sticks. For your situation, I'd suggest that you ask your teacher if you could bring (or make...
Is Honey harmful as a white sugar?
In India, honey is regarded as a medication for lots of issues.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter @mfzahir @annefood - Average store-bought honey is quite sweet but it's absolutely fine in small amounts. I'd suggest buying a dark-colored raw honey which has an even lower GI and is nutrient...

mfzahir @annefood @darkchocolatepeanutbutter Thanks very much for your inputs. I am taking apple cider vinegar with honey as I was told this mixture is good for increasing immunity , improving digestion;...
Does anyone know some fun or life hacks to use while doing the one bite at a time challenge? Anything is a good idea for meπ
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Try eating with your non dominant hand - it's super hard to eat quickly. You can also try to put your utensil down between each bite as a good reminder to finish your bite before the next one.

DietID_TeamDietitians Anytime!
Can you chew gum while on this challenge?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! Most gum has either sugar or sugar alcohols. Many dentists also classify gum as candy. Therefore, for the purposes of this challenge, gum is not allowed unless it's medically...
Too much water?
I've heard two objections to drinking 8 cups of water a day: 1) water can reduce the amount of good gut bacteria and 2) cause your electrolytes to become unbalanced. Are either of these valid reaso...

DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @hobmij! Great question. As Anne mentioned, most people would need to drink well beyond 8 glasses before it can have detrimental impacts to your health, especially if you are counting tea and...
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @hobmij! As @annefood and @Rachna said, the amount of water we drink depends on our personal needs so experiment with how much water you need to get through the day. Also may I ask where you got...
What counts as water?
Does tea count as a glass of water since it's like herbs steeped in water? Does sparkling water count as a glass of water?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep! Both count as water. We recommend herbal tea if you're going to replace more than 1 cup of water with tea b/c herbal doesn't have caffeine.
Soda Substitute: What's a good substitute for soda? What drinks?
-
Lotta I drink water and sometimes put fruit and berries in it :) Sparkling water seems to be a popular alternative, but I personally hate the taste :D
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @RegannePreece - I totally agree with @Lotta. Putting frozen fruit in water or sparkling water is a great way to add flavor without added sugar. I also like hot cinnamon tea. The cinnamon has...
