Quick question , do dried cranberries have added sugar in them ?
-
annefood @Lazy_Nash good question! Unfortunately yes, most do. Since cranberries are so tart, they are always sweetened when dried. Occasionally you can find fruit juice sweetened dried cranberries at a...

JenniferEmilson Some health food stores do carry sour dried cranberries. In other words, no sugar added. When you find them, stock up!! 👌🏻
-
annefood Good to know @JenniferEmilson ! I've never seen them entirely unsweetened in all of my health food store travels.
How do the checks work?
Do I check-in every time I drink 1 glass of water? Why is there 6 options for the check in?
-
emmie I think there are multiple options so you don't have to check in multiple times if you've just drank a couple glasses glasses of water :)
-
cyndecastro So should I check in at the end of the day as a total amount?
-
emmie You can if you'd like, but I think it's easier to keep track if you do it throughout the day
So does drinking milk count?

bananazen92 Apparently, there was a study that this was not healthy for you, actually. According to the study, drinking eight glasses of water a day, even when you aren't thirsty can stop your gag reflex. This...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter @bananazen92- I'm not aware of this study but I would take it with a grain of salt. Everyone requires different amounts of water depending on various factors (ex. physical activity, age, stress...

Can anyone suggest healthy vegan dinner ideas
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Since it's fall, chili is my go-to meal for dinner. It's easy to make vegan if you swap out animal stock for vegetable stock and ground meat with either tempeh or tofu. It's completely up to you so...

Lazy_Nash Overnight oats heaven in a bowl
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Chia seed pudding is great since you can make it overnight. I also agree with @Lazy_Nash, overnight oats are the bomb. Check out the Foodstand guidebook for the Avoid Sugar at Breakfast and you may...

annefood Hey @bananazen92 ! Glad you're doing the Avoid Sugar at Breakfast Challenge! Smoothies are my go-to when I need to dash out the door. I put a couple large spoonfuls of plain yogurt in the blender...
Guys! At the end of the day when I arrive home i get a feeling and no matter what i do i have to eat (&im not even hungry at all)! Advice?

nloai001 I actually posted an article about suppressing your appetite. You should check it out. Lemon water is my personal favorite :)

darkchocolatepeanutbutter @dork Sometimes it's hard to separate emotional hunger from physical hunger. Take time to distract yourself with other activities you enjoy like exercise or journaling. You could just be craving...
What to do with smoked mackerel for breakfast?
-
nloai001 I usually have smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel (or toast). Maybe your smoked mackerel could be a good sub for the smoked salmon?
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter You could also try smoked fish on homemade avocado toast! It has the same cream texture as cream cheese with a boost of healthy fats.
-
annefood Love those ideas @nloai001 @darkchocolatepeanutbutter ! It could also be good with scrambled eggs.
Does molasses count as sugar?
