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?

Do natural honey (got it from a farm) contains added sugar?
8yr
  • Emy hi. I'm not an expert, but my grandpa used to say, that honey is good for everything!
    Just use a little bit instead of sugar to sweet your meals :)
  • bestekaracay Thank you and to your grandpa! I will use just a little bit :)
  • 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...

Are splenda and stevia considered added sugars?
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...

Day 2/3: Avoid Sweets, Dessert, and Candy Level I
  • 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...

What is a free pass?

  • DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! A Free Pass is an allowable slip for the habit you’re working on. If you’re doing the Avoid Soda Challenge, check in by using a Free Pass if you had a soda. If you had just a small...

How do you stop the craving of sweets??
8yr
  • annefood Hey @katewhit ! Honestly the best way to get over craving sweets is to stop eating sweets. When I eat a bunch of sugar and desserts I crave them all the time, but after a week of not eating any, I...
  • katewhit Okay thanks @annefood
  • JoanneG I totally agree with @annefood. When I have a big sweets day, I crave them for the next week. But when I try to avoid them from the morning, like having eggs for breakfast instead of a muffin, I'm...
