dizzydumby Look up athletes cook books ๐๐ผ there's honestly great ones out there ๐ I use Charlotte Crosbys book, it's easy to follow and not to strict but super healthy ๐ค

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hey @amanda_482! I'm not a sports nutritionist but I do know that athletes need more calories than non-athletes. Depending on your activity, adjust your carb, protein and fat intake accordingly,...
Is stevia okay to sweeten my coffee since it is a plant?
-
meghanmjacobs Awesome! I can't do black coffee alone ๐
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I would say if you're using the actual stevia plant or extract (I used to grow one!) that's a-ok.
-
melaniegong Yes! Stevia is from a plant. As long as you don't mind the taste:)

alizehmehdi If someone drinks 3 glasses of green tea a day do they drink 8 glasses of water or 5 glasses of water that same day?
It's hard not to eat desserts because they taste so good but I know it will be bad for me in the long run. How can I stop craving desserts?
-
purplebatman You can throw out or give away any of your dessert food so you don't have it in your house. It will reduce the cravings as you do not see the food every day.
-
nicoleigh Sliced strawberries cooked in the oven on a low temperature for a few hours are pretty tasty :)
-
Emy @kristinamlynar feel you ! Having the same problem over here... It's so hard, because all those tasty little desserts are just delicious ...! ๐

Nainiac Actually most bagels are made with added sugar.... For instance a Panera plain bagel has brown sugar in it. Dunkin and Einstein also add sugar. I was bummed and surprised to learn that myself!!
I've been drinking apple cider vinegar to stop my cravings but it didn't quite work. It has been a week. Was goes wrong?
-
annefood Hey @fitorious ! Have you tried drinking sparkling water with pieces of fruit in it? That helps me when I'm craving something sugary. Also, check out the Avoid Sugar Guidebook...
-
GGShah I've never tried vinegar, but what has worked for me is to have sparkling water always around. I realized my soda addiction was really about the fizz. Now I've just gotten creative with what I put...
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter I definitely agree with @annefood! If you have any favorite teas, you can drink those hot or cold.
