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.
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Great question! @Udi is absolutely right. Most commercial ginger ales are just carbonated ginger-flavored drinks however if you'd like an alternative, try making ginger tea by boiling water with...

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...

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...
Quick question should I count the Snapple I drink if I'm doing the soda challenge?
Milwaukee, WI
-
annefood Hey @itscheezybabay ! Great question. Since Snapple is a sugar sweetened drink (or artificially sweetened for diet) you should count it as a soda.
-
itscheezybabay @annefood so I should just drink water during this challenge
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes definitely drink water during the Challenge. You can also drink seltzer if you're craving a fizzy drink, but be sure to get plain seltzer or naturally flavored seltzer like Poland spring lemon,...
