Stress eating
This election has me stressed to the max. I think I may have eaten a little too much this afternoon but I know I'll do better tomorrow, no matter who the president is. :)

DietID_TeamDietitians Same!

annefood Ditto @emmie ! I practically ate an entire bowl of corn chips on election night. But it was one slip up, I didn't get upset with myself, and I've moved on. Love that—"I'll do better tomorrow no...

How do the checks work?
Do I check-in every time I drink 1 glass of water? Why is there 6 options for the check in?
-
emmie I think there are multiple options so you don't have to check in multiple times if you've just drank a couple glasses glasses of water :)
-
cyndecastro So should I check in at the end of the day as a total amount?
-
emmie You can if you'd like, but I think it's easier to keep track if you do it throughout the day
Quick question , do dried cranberries have added sugar in them ?

JenniferEmilson Some health food stores do carry sour dried cranberries. In other words, no sugar added. When you find them, stock up!! 👌🏻
-
annefood Good to know @JenniferEmilson ! I've never seen them entirely unsweetened in all of my health food store travels.

Drinking tea or a lemonade still counts right? And milk doesn't?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep! Tea counts! For lemonade, if you're making making homemade with just a pinch of sugar or honey, that's ok. But store-bought lemonade oftentimes has more sugar than soda, so that wouldn't...

How many litres count for 8 glasses? when I'm at school I drink bottled water
-
NicoleDanielle Well, one cup of water measured out is 8oz, so just look at your bottle of water and look at the oz.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @Melissa898 - 1L = a little more than 4 cups. So if you get through 2 of your bottles, you'll be more than good to go!

OK, so I really don't like the taste of water unless it's like freezing water. What do I do?
-
ManyaModi It's okay to love freezing water even i do. You should drink around 3 litres of water everyday. Or if you are not a good 'water drinker' start with 1.5 litres everyday and drink 1 litre freezing...
-
hornmattie Get a hydroflask to help keep your water freezing cold all day!
-
chasketti Either drink it freezing, or use some sugar free flavor like fruit and/or store-bought flavoring?
