Can you chew gum while on this challenge?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! Most gum has either sugar or sugar alcohols. Many dentists also classify gum as candy. Therefore, for the purposes of this challenge, gum is not allowed unless it's medically...
Too much water?
I've heard two objections to drinking 8 cups of water a day: 1) water can reduce the amount of good gut bacteria and 2) cause your electrolytes to become unbalanced. Are either of these valid reaso...

DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @hobmij! Great question. As Anne mentioned, most people would need to drink well beyond 8 glasses before it can have detrimental impacts to your health, especially if you are counting tea and...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @hobmij! As @annefood and @Rachna said, the amount of water we drink depends on our personal needs so experiment with how much water you need to get through the day. Also may I ask where you got...

What counts as water?
Does tea count as a glass of water since it's like herbs steeped in water? Does sparkling water count as a glass of water?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep! Both count as water. We recommend herbal tea if you're going to replace more than 1 cup of water with tea b/c herbal doesn't have caffeine.
See how much sugar we saved together!

Soda Substitute: What's a good substitute for soda? What drinks?
-
Lotta I drink water and sometimes put fruit and berries in it :) Sparkling water seems to be a popular alternative, but I personally hate the taste :D
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @RegannePreece - I totally agree with @Lotta. Putting frozen fruit in water or sparkling water is a great way to add flavor without added sugar. I also like hot cinnamon tea. The cinnamon has...

Day 14/30: Avoid Sugar at Breakfast Level IV

DietID_TeamDietitians I'm totally struggling with my veggies challenge right now because I had a few dinners to attend, and surprisingly very few veggies available =( Keep it up though!!

LezEngel @Rachna this time of year is a killer when it comes to sugar & veggie consumption. I think I'm in harm reduction mode at this point!
Water weight
I wonder if stuffing my self with water will make me gain weight through water weight ???
-
annefood Hey @NellyAymon . First, I wouldn't recommend stuffing yourself with water—it is possible to become overly hydrated such that the sodium levels in your blood drop too low. However, to do that you'd...
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @NellyAymon! I'm in agreement with @annefood. Our bodies made up of 60% to 65% water in order to support all of our internal systems so staying hydrated is a great way to help everything to work...
Thank you, Home Chef!
You help me keep to my commitment of cooking more at home! My first time roasting turnips, along with other favorite veggies, and it was DELICIOUS!

DietID_TeamDietitians YUM!! @MrsXtina this looks like such a festive holiday meal. I've heard good things about Home Chef. Glad you are enjoying it.
