  • annefood 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...

Does dried pasta have added sugar?
8yr
I was wondering if dried pasta such as penne or spaghetti had added sugar or other artificial ingredients?
  • annefood Hey @Sim ! Dried pasta shouldn't contain any added sugar (or artificial ingredients). Typically the added sugar comes into play in jarred sauce—surprisingly, many tomato sauces have a lot of added...
  • Sim Thank you @annefood, looks like I'll be making my own pasta sauces from now on.
  • annefood You're welcome @Sim ! Making your own sauce is the definitely the best way to ensure good ingredients. Plus it's easy to freeze and have on hand. But when you are short of time and don't have any...

    Just use a little bit instead of sugar to sweet your meals :)

  • 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?
8yr
  • 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...
