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

darkchocolatepeanutbutter The Physiology Of Taste by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. It's old but it's fun reading the perspective of a Frenchman from 1825. "Tell me what you eat and I shall tell you what you are," is his...

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 ...! 😅

-
annefood @gettinghealthy this Challenge is for avoiding sugar at breakfast, but if you would like to avoid sugar at every meal you can try the "Avoid Added Sugar Challenge"
Can I eat groats?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians absolutely! These are whole grains =)

AhmedZ oh good, thank u..
what about wheat flour? it also has sugar showed in the nutrition fact schedule
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 Yes! Try eating with your non dominant hand - it's super hard to eat quickly. You can also try to put your utensil down between each bite as a good reminder to finish your bite before the next one.

Rachel_1125 Thanks! that will help me a lot! I appreciate your helpful tip

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.
