  • 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.

What's the best way to prepare them?
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?
7yr
No sugar at breakfast
  • Lazy_Nash I think it doesn't , but to be sure check in the internet
  • 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!!

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...

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...

How do i avoid sweets candy etc. If i have a lot of them in my house ?
7yr
  • justinponeill Throw them away or "gift" them to someone else when you end up or someone else's house (As long as they aren't open yet).
  • nikkipayne21 That's always hard. I struggle with the same problem. But I just have to remind myself what I want more. I want to be healthier and my body will feel awful afterwards
  • davisaa It's tough to get started but once you cut them from your diet you'll lose the craving and eventually be able to avoid them completely! Good luck!
