  • Lorna @annefood Thanks. The guide didn't really say club soda and without reading all the ingredients on seltzer or sparking water - I wasn't sure if it was in or out. I think one of my obstacles to...
  • MargaretG One problem with bubbly water is that it is supposedly hard on tooth enamel. I love sparkling water and drink it all the time but have tried to dial back a bit lately once I found out.

Need some good, simple recipes for dinner. Thanks!
  • DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @Jmotomal! One of my favorites for Broccoli and Cauliflower is to make cauliflower 'fried rice.' Just thaw the cauliflower, use a food processor to grind it up, and then saute with garlic and...

  • annefood Hey @AhmedZ - Good question. Unfortunately many juices that contain veggies are made up of mostly fruit juice, which is why they taste sweet. As for 100% green veggie juices, they don't pose the...
  • AhmedZ thank u for ur answer, r u saying that fruit juice and fruit + veggie juice r same bad because of the sugar problem? and the only really healthy juice is only veggie juice?
  • annefood Correct, fruit juice and fruit + veg juice both have the sugar problem. 100% veg juice doesn't have the sugar problem, but we do need fiber in our diets, so if you do choose to drink veggie juice...

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?
  • annefood Hey @AhmedZ ! Great question. Skim milk does not have added sugar, so you're safe there! (Though there are definitely some skim milk "drinks" that do, so I'm thrilled to hear you're reading the...
  • Radwa Skim milk can act as a lighter alternative to milk when you want to use a lot of it.
