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 me😂

  • 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.
  • Rachel_1125 Thanks! that will help me a lot! I appreciate your helpful tip

Is Stevia something we should avoid as well?

Between full fat milk and skim milk

  • AhmedZ is it true that the skim milk has added sugar? if it's true how come it's not shown on the skim milk nutrition details?
  • annefood Hey @AhmedZ ! Great question. Skim milk does not have added sugar, so you're safe there! (Though there are definitely some skim milk "drinks" that do, so I'm thrilled to hear you're reading the...
  • Radwa Skim milk can act as a lighter alternative to milk when you want to use a lot of it.

I kw that fruit juice is not the best option, cuz it's fiber free and full of sugar.. So how about detox and healthy juices which contain fruits and vegetables?? Is it good or still bad cuz it's ...
  • annefood Hey @AhmedZ - Good question. Unfortunately many juices that contain veggies are made up of mostly fruit juice, which is why they taste sweet. As for 100% green veggie juices, they don't pose the...
  • AhmedZ thank u for ur answer, r u saying that fruit juice and fruit + veggie juice r same bad because of the sugar problem? and the only really healthy juice is only veggie juice?
  • annefood Correct, fruit juice and fruit + veg juice both have the sugar problem. 100% veg juice doesn't have the sugar problem, but we do need fiber in our diets, so if you do choose to drink veggie juice...

What sweets count?
8yr
I was wondering what counts. it's obvious candy and basically anything desert counts, but what about cinnamon rolls? pastries? I'm pretty sure those kinds of things do count, but idk.
  • annefood Hey @Juls6207 ! Glad you asked. Yes, pastries do count as sweets. Basically anything with added sugar fits into the sweets category. And unfortunately pastries, pancakes, waffles, scones, etc all...
  • Akshay I think anything with added sugar counts.
