Salt craving
I’ve been craving salt lately. Is this related to not having added sugar? Is anyone else craving salt?? 🤷🏻♀️
Agave nectar
Is that allowed?
-
annefood Nope! Agave nectar is an added sugar (as are maple syrup, coconut nectar, honey, etc.).

ElanaG I didn’t think so, so I used half a pass since I ate a couple spoonfuls of Greek yogurt with it (siggi).
Hard to find stuff while away on business! -
annefood Good call. Yes it is indeed!
No more passes for me
Well I am only halfway thru level III and I am pretty sure that I have used up all of my passes for the next level....and I haven’t even gotten pass the father’s day party. Oh boy, I’m toast.
How do the streaks work?? I don’t really understand. Mine is always zero :(

annefood A streak is when you don’t use any full or half passes, and thus successfully avoid added sugar. No passes used for 3 days and you have a 3 day streak, for example. It resets when you use one- I...

ElanaG Definitely agree. I’m out of town for work, so I used this drink to recover after a 4 mile run in Denver altitude and 90 degrees 😄 usually I would have made my own!
-
annefood Good thinking on the go!
There’s a first for everything.
I went to the following without eating desserts or added sugar:
A wedding shower
A birthday party
Dinner with my adult sons

shmoozii I feel so empowered. It wasn’t a huge struggle either. However, it was a first.

No, you don’t need to avoid lactic acid in the Avoid Added Sugar Challenge. It’s used in fermentation (yogurt, pickled veggies, sourdough...) and as a preservative or flavoring agent.
-
annefood
And lactose is an intrinsic sugar (not an added sugar) that is naturally occurring in dairy. So no need to worry about that either.
