What's your favorite good food book/movie/documentary/reporting series etc.?

sugardetoxme Such a good question!!!! I wish the books I've read turned into films, but Food Chains really sticks out in my mind
-
GooseBarry Agree on Food Chains. I know a lot of people in my community saw FedUp with their kids. I think that also had an impact because it was so widely distributed.
It's hard not to eat desserts because they taste so good but I know it will be bad for me in the long run. How can I stop craving desserts?
-
purplebatman You can throw out or give away any of your dessert food so you don't have it in your house. It will reduce the cravings as you do not see the food every day.

nicoleigh Sliced strawberries cooked in the oven on a low temperature for a few hours are pretty tasty :)

Emy @kristinamlynar feel you ! Having the same problem over here... It's so hard, because all those tasty little desserts are just delicious ...! 😅

Does anyone know some fun or life hacks to use while doing the one bite at a time challenge? Anything is a good idea for me😂

DietID_TeamDietitians Anytime!
Stevia?
Is Stevia something we should avoid as well?
-
annefood @AuthenticBriana great question! Stevia is allowed as it does not have the same effect on your blood sugar levels as sugar. However, you should use limited amounts because it can cause gastric...
Between full fat milk and skim milk
-
AhmedZ is it true that the skim milk has added sugar? if it's true how come it's not shown on the skim milk nutrition details?

Radwa Skim milk can act as a lighter alternative to milk when you want to use a lot of it.
Are these sprouts safe to eat!??
I sprouted fenugreek seeds then put them by the window to sprout microgreens but not sure how long these are good for and if there is any chance there is bacteria in them?? Anybody have some input??
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @olivettefarm @palaknyc may know

isakay @ladyofgrand- Those look awesome! Great job sprouting them. I would make sure they are dry and pop them in the fridge. They should last a pretty long time... 4-6 weeks if you store them properly!

ladyofgrand Thank you! @isakay
