Soda Challenge
I'm halfway on the 30-day soda challenge. I have some free passes from earlier challenges, so what happens if I choose to have soda on Christmas and use a pass? Does it extend my challenge?
How to combat sugar cravings?

annefood Hey @FernandoSchmidt ! Have you checked out the Guidebook https://www.thefoodstand.com/challenge-groups/13-avoid-sweets-dessert-and-candy/guide ? There are lots of great tips and tricks to help you...

DietID_TeamDietitians One new favorite find that has helped me is cinnamon spice tea. I drink it with no added sugar or milk, and the natural sweetness of the cinnamon satisfies my cravings.
Does matcha count?
I was wondering if matcha power counted as a fruit/vegetable since the powder is litterally ground up tea leaf. You don't just infuse it, you eat the fibers too. Does my matcha latte count as a por...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Great question @anniemegusta! Unfortunately matcha does not count as a fruit or vegetable for this challenge even though it can be added to baked goods or smoothies. Try to incorporate more whole...

annefood Hey @anniemegusta ! Good question. While matcha has tons of antioxidants and is generally regarded to have many health benefits, it does not count as a fruit or vegetable for the Eat More...
Can I do other challenges at the same time
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter At the moment you're only able to do one challenge at a time. Also sometimes focusing on changing more than one habit can be a bit overwhelming. Baby steps :)

Is ginger ale considered soda?

Udi Yes. It has tons of sugar in it like all sodas.

What sweets count?
I was wondering what counts. it's obvious candy and basically anything desert counts, but what about cinnamon rolls? pastries? I'm pretty sure those kinds of things do count, but idk.
Lost all progress?
I completed the 3 fruits and veggies level 4 challenge today but instead of moving to the next level I was moved down to level 3. I only used one free pass and am very confused. Does anyone know wh...

DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @sim, so sorry about that. We are checking in on this.

Udi Hi Sim, It looks like this was a bug on our end. I've fixed the issue and reset your challenge to be correctly on Level 5 starting today. So sorry for the trouble and thanks so much for...

Sim Thank you so much for fixing this
What do you love or hate about kale?
npr.org
This is an interesting article about tailoring a new version of kale to the American palate, and the feedback so far is to be less like kale.
I love how dense kale is, but I know lots of people f...

annefood Interesting article for sure! If people don't like kale, they should just eat something they do like instead of trying to change kale. They should try swiss chard or collard greens which have more...

DietID_TeamDietitians This is not a dumb question at all @itscheezybabay - often times these drinks are marketed as healthy alternatives to soda. Unfortunately we don't recommend artificially sweetened beverages like...

Hey @Lotta ! Free passes don't carry over from previous Challenges. If you look on the Challenge tab on your app (click on the orange zigzag arrow at the bottom) you will see how many free passes...

Lotta
Thank you :) I haven't had soda at all during the soda challenges, so I thought the passes were from earlier challenges, but I seem to have 5 to use for this one :D

annefood
Yes exactly! 5 slips over 30 days. And congrats for not using any passes in your previous levels! That's fantastic!
