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?
If I want to bake something sweet in less calories, what can I do? For example, replacing milk with water etc.
I've already tried replacing milk with water, eggs with that Semper's No-Egg-thing, and sugar with less sugar or sweetener.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Most baked goods are calorically-dense even if they are made without animal products so it's good to eat an appropriate portion. You can use substitutes for regular milk like soy milk or coconut...

Uber Aaalright! Thanks to you both! (: @darkchocolatepeanutbutter & @annefood
Too much water?
I've heard two objections to drinking 8 cups of water a day: 1) water can reduce the amount of good gut bacteria and 2) cause your electrolytes to become unbalanced. Are either of these valid reaso...

DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @hobmij! Great question. As Anne mentioned, most people would need to drink well beyond 8 glasses before it can have detrimental impacts to your health, especially if you are counting tea and...
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @hobmij! As @annefood and @Rachna said, the amount of water we drink depends on our personal needs so experiment with how much water you need to get through the day. Also may I ask where you got...
Help please...need advice...thank you in advance.

Monica101 I had orange juice. Can I use it as s pass, since I have one left.? I drank it because I grew sick.
-
annefood Hey Monica101 ! So sorry to hear you are sick. Was the orange juice 100% fruit juice? It so, then it doesn't have any added sugar and you don't need to take a free pass. We recommend drinking juice...
-
Monica101 Yes the oj it was 100% . I will use my last pass. Thank you so much.
Keep seeing these beautiful squash blossoms in the Italian markets!
What's the best way to prepare them?
-
sugardetoxme Flash fry and stuff em with ricotta and savory chives
-
gingerandchorizo Lucky you!! I will stuff them with ricotta and anchovies and lightly fry them with batter
-
garv Goat cheese & toasted cashews makes a great stuffing. Although fried blossoms is a safe bet , light searing or a light roast works well too.
Does a bagel have sugar in?
No sugar at breakfast
-
Lazy_Nash I think it doesn't , but to be sure check in the internet
-
Queen_Ashley No😂
-
Nainiac Actually most bagels are made with added sugar.... For instance a Panera plain bagel has brown sugar in it. Dunkin and Einstein also add sugar. I was bummed and surprised to learn that myself!!
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...
Can you chew gum while on this challenge?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! Most gum has either sugar or sugar alcohols. Many dentists also classify gum as candy. Therefore, for the purposes of this challenge, gum is not allowed unless it's medically...
Breakfast on the go!
I have to be to work early in the morning and I don't have a lot of time in the mornings to cook breakfast. What are some of your favorite breakfasts on the go that aren't loaded with sugars?
-
mirasingh Overnight oats! Just rolled oats, almond milk or regular milk, dried fruits or fresh fruits - just put all of that in a jar, tupperware, or solo cup, and place it in the fridge tonight and it will...

DessertKing A shake usually is quick if you have the ingredients prepped. An easy one is banana, collard or spinach, flax seeds, apple, ginger, and oatmeal. I can throw all of those into my blender and it's...
-
NehaNBB Ok, this may sound crazy -- I make an omelette muffin most mornings, and I've got it down to 2 minutes of prep. When I wake up, I whip up 2 eggs, add some salt, pepper, whatever herbs I have, and...

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!
