Salt craving
I’ve been craving salt lately. Is this related to not having added sugar? Is anyone else craving salt?? 🤷🏻♀️
-
annefood I do not believe that there is a nutritional correlation, but it could be that you’re reaching for salty snacks since sweet ones are off the menu. Or perhaps the heat?
-
shmoozii I think you’re right. It’s a little weird is all.
-
garv Not weird at all . Salt does provide satiation.
Agave nectar
Is that allowed?

annefood Nope! Agave nectar is an added sugar (as are maple syrup, coconut nectar, honey, etc.).

-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question!! Some breads are definitely allowed, but most actually have some added sugar. It's best to check the ingredient label to be sure. Some favorites we love: Ezekiel sprouted grain...

What challenge should I start next?🤨

annefood Are there any areas of your diet you’ve been wanting to improve?
Post workout food
What’s a good non sugar item to eat after an intense workout? I would usually do a glass of chocolate milk after running but I am starving after playin an hour and a half of basketball!
Is the fruit “must” in my balsamic vinegar considered an added sugar?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @elievois - nope! fruit must is basically crushed up fruit, so that is a-ok during the Avoid Added Sugar challenge.
-
elievois @Rachna thank you, you may have just saved my sugarless life!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians no problemo!! that's what we're here for =)
Are there limitations on regulations when a product lists “no added sugar” like with other terms we see? ie: “organic” and “natural”.

annefood Indeed they do!
