annefood Hey @Juls6207 ! Glad you asked. Yes, pastries do count as sweets. Basically anything with added sugar fits into the sweets category. And unfortunately pastries, pancakes, waffles, scones, etc all...

-
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,...
