OK, so I really don't like the taste of water unless it's like freezing water. What do I do?
-
ManyaModi It's okay to love freezing water even i do. You should drink around 3 litres of water everyday. Or if you are not a good 'water drinker' start with 1.5 litres everyday and drink 1 litre freezing...

hornmattie Get a hydroflask to help keep your water freezing cold all day!
-
chasketti Either drink it freezing, or use some sugar free flavor like fruit and/or store-bought flavoring?

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @juliasalvati! A little meditation or yoga is a good way to unwind. I also like to light a candle and listen to classical music :)
Does maple syrup added to Greek yogurt count as added sugar?

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hey @parkjimjam! Love your handle :) Yes, maple syrup is still added sugar even though it's more natural than processed sugar. I personally like to add mashed ripe fruit like bananas and...

Does it still count if I had 7 glasses of water and a smoothie?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep!!!! Smoothies have ice in them so that counts as a glass of water 👍👍👍
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Absolutely! Anything consisting of liquids counts although I suggest if you consume a caffeinated drink like coffee or green tea, to drink a glass of water afterwards. Caffeine can dehydrate the...
-
lenaaaap I have to disagree with darkchocolatepeanutbutter! Not anything consisting liquids count. You can't drink coke or something . It only counts water and unsweetened tee. But a smoothie is also ok...
Do lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on a sandwich count as a serving of fruits and vegetables?
-
bubblegem Well it depends on the amount of each maybe you could have 2 sandwiches and mix up the veggies on each one!
-
nikkipayne21 I think it does. I mean you're putting those vegetables in your body.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @cristianpereira - if all 3 amount to about a cup, or a fist-full, then yes! It counts as 1 serving!
How i can avoid eating snacks?

lauren I keep my water bottle on me at all times! I think I read somewhere that when we crave salty snacks, we actually need water and could be dehydrated
-
emmie Eating snacks isn't necessarily bad for you- as long as they are healthy and a small size. :)
-
DietID_TeamDietitians For late night snacking, I get a cup of herbal tea instead so it fulfills my craving to consume something flavorful, makes me feel warm, but doesn't have caffeine so I won't stay up too late.

Hey @chasketti! You don't need to give up carbs, just consider smaller portions of some of your favorites since eating too much of any food can increase body fat or triglyceride levels. Also...

chasketti
Alright, thank you! I exercise about 2 times a week, but I might investigate family history. Thanks!

@chasketti in addition to @darkchocolatepeanutbutter 's great advice about moderation, when you do eat carbs try switching to whole grains. Instead of white bread/toast try Ezekiel Bread...
