  • DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @Lazy_Nash - perhaps you can try cleaning out your fridge of anything that is tempting, and just keep fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. This way, if you have a craving, the options are...
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter Totally understandable @Lazy_Nash. Emotional hunger is difficult to distinguish with physical hunger since we use food as comfort. Check in with yourself by thinking about any life changes that may...

  • annefood Hey @maddiedod ! Have you tried drinking sparkling water with copped fruit in it? The fruit flavors the water, plus you get a little treat at the bottom of the glass :)
  • maddiedod Sounds good @Annefood

Quick question should I count the Snapple I drink if I'm doing the soda challenge?
8yr Milwaukee, WI
  • annefood Hey @itscheezybabay ! Great question. Since Snapple is a sugar sweetened drink (or artificially sweetened for diet) you should count it as a soda.
  • itscheezybabay @annefood so I should just drink water during this challenge
  • DietID_TeamDietitians Yes definitely drink water during the Challenge. You can also drink seltzer if you're craving a fizzy drink, but be sure to get plain seltzer or naturally flavored seltzer like Poland spring lemon,...
This might be dumb question but is Propel water ok to drink I mean it has no sugar or calories

  • DietID_TeamDietitians This is not a dumb question at all @itscheezybabay - often times these drinks are marketed as healthy alternatives to soda. Unfortunately we don't recommend artificially sweetened beverages like...

This is an interesting article about tailoring a new version of kale to the American palate, and the feedback so far is to be less like kale. I love how dense kale is, but I know lots of people f...

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.
