Day 2/3: Avoid Sweets, Dessert, and Candy Level I
What is a free pass?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! A Free Pass is an allowable slip for the habit you’re working on. If you’re doing the Avoid Soda Challenge, check in by using a Free Pass if you had a soda. If you had just a small...

laibasarfraz oh thank you
What can i eat for breakfast that's low in sugar?
-
Philippa Hard boiled eggs and toast with some avocado sounds good right now.
-
lilaviolet yeqh but toast has sugar in it...I think.
Does dried pasta have added sugar?
I was wondering if dried pasta such as penne or spaghetti had added sugar or other artificial ingredients?
Splenda/Stevia
Are splenda and stevia considered added sugars?
-
barbarabee Thanks!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @barbarabee - In this challenge, we ask that you avoid Splenda for the No Added Sugar Challenge. Splenda has been placed on the "avoid" list by our partners CSPI...
Do natural honey (got it from a farm) contains added sugar?
-
Emy hi. I'm not an expert, but my grandpa used to say, that honey is good for everything!
Just use a little bit instead of sugar to sweet your meals :) -
bestekaracay Thank you and to your grandpa! I will use just a little bit :)
-
annefood Hey @bestekaracay ! While @Emy 's Grandpa is right that honey can have health benefits—local honey is said to help with allergies, for example (shout out to @Emy 's Grandpa!) honey does count as an...
More then one challenge?
-
Emy I'm also new here, but I think you can just do 1 challenge at a time
-
annefood Hey @cassidyinks and @Emy ! You are correct—currently you can only do 1 Challenge at a time. It has been shown that tackling one aspect of your diet at a time is the best way to form new habits.

lilaviolet I have completed the coke challenge but how do I do another challenge?
Breakfast on the go!
I have to be to work early in the morning and I don't have a lot of time in the mornings to cook breakfast. What are some of your favorite breakfasts on the go that aren't loaded with sugars?
-
mirasingh Overnight oats! Just rolled oats, almond milk or regular milk, dried fruits or fresh fruits - just put all of that in a jar, tupperware, or solo cup, and place it in the fridge tonight and it will...

DessertKing A shake usually is quick if you have the ingredients prepped. An easy one is banana, collard or spinach, flax seeds, apple, ginger, and oatmeal. I can throw all of those into my blender and it's...
-
NehaNBB Ok, this may sound crazy -- I make an omelette muffin most mornings, and I've got it down to 2 minutes of prep. When I wake up, I whip up 2 eggs, add some salt, pepper, whatever herbs I have, and...
How Do I Remind Myself to Drink?

dizzydumby Always carry a bottle with you, and you'll soon feel thirsty when you don't have it 😝
-
clux34 Thanks that helps I think I'll try that! @dizzydumby

dizzydumby No problem 👍🏼

Hey @Philippa ! Good question. While nutella does contain nuts, unfortunately the first ingredient is sugar. If you have a tiny taste, count it as 1/2 free pass in your Avoid Sweets Challenge. If...

Philippa
Ha I figured. The worst. Avoiding it.

annefood
@Philippa yeah unfortunately nutella is not the best when it comes to nutrition. If you're craving a spoonful of something, try a spoonful of peanut butter. Not the same chocolatey sweetness, but...
