annefood So glad @appy ! Keep up the good work!
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...

bananazen92 Usually, when looking for alternatives to soda, I turn to tea, fruit/vegetable water, apple cider, plain water, flavored water, or even hot chocolate. There are many different types of tea that...

DietID_TeamDietitians @jessicaf this looks delish! @ken it's so good to hear you're cutting down on sugar in coffee. Beverages are one of the biggest culprits for added sugar. Cutting down by 2/3 is a huge step forward!...
This does not look glamorous, but it was tasty, and super easy!
Sometimes I get super lazy to cook, so I end up throwing a bunch of stuff in a pot and hope for the best, and this was pretty darn good. Quinoa, peas, carrots, Lima beans, garlic, and harissa. I po...

annefood Looks great!!
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...
Soda Challenge
I'm halfway on the 30-day soda challenge. I have some free passes from earlier challenges, so what happens if I choose to have soda on Christmas and use a pass? Does it extend my challenge?
-
Lotta Thank you :) I haven't had soda at all during the soda challenges, so I thought the passes were from earlier challenges, but I seem to have 5 to use for this one :D
-
annefood Yes exactly! 5 slips over 30 days. And congrats for not using any passes in your previous levels! That's fantastic!

DietID_TeamDietitians One new favorite find that has helped me is cinnamon spice tea. I drink it with no added sugar or milk, and the natural sweetness of the cinnamon satisfies my cravings.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Whether you're under physical or emotional stress, I think these are great tips and I will definitely be buying some dandelion tea today!
Does matcha count?
I was wondering if matcha power counted as a fruit/vegetable since the powder is litterally ground up tea leaf. You don't just infuse it, you eat the fibers too. Does my matcha latte count as a por...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Great question @anniemegusta! Unfortunately matcha does not count as a fruit or vegetable for this challenge even though it can be added to baked goods or smoothies. Try to incorporate more whole...
