Is ginger ale considered soda?
8yr
  • Udi Yes. It has tons of sugar in it like all sodas.
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter Great question! @Udi is absolutely right. Most commercial ginger ales are just carbonated ginger-flavored drinks however if you'd like an alternative, try making ginger tea by boiling water with...
  • bananazen92 Thanks!
Can I do other challenges at the same time

  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter At the moment you're only able to do one challenge at a time. Also sometimes focusing on changing more than one habit can be a bit overwhelming. Baby steps :)

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?
  • annefood Hey @Lotta ! Free passes don't carry over from previous Challenges. If you look on the Challenge tab on your app (click on the orange zigzag arrow at the bottom) you will see how many free passes...
  • 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!

I wonder if stuffing my self with water will make me gain weight through water weight ???

  • 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 Substitute: What's a good substitute for soda? What drinks?
8yr
  • 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...

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.
