Add lemon juice to your water
7yr
By adding lemon juice to your water it gives it taste, helps detox your body and helps increase your metabolism
  • Amieroe that's smart although be careful because to much acid is bad for your teeth :)
  • BethIsGreen I keep one of those lemon juice squeeze bottles in my fridge so it's easier.
A good way to stop drinking soda is to find a healthier alternative like carbonated water. For extra flavor add some lemon or lime slices.

  • DietID_TeamDietitians Thanks for sharing! this is awesome! Are there any artificial sweeteners in this?
  • melaniegong Hi Rachna! No, there's no artificial sweeteners. We use monk fruit juice to sweeten it. It has zero calorie and doesn't cause tooth decay :)
  • DietID_TeamDietitians Wow!!! Very cool! I will definitely share with fellow diabetics!

  • annefood Hey @Philippa ! Good question. While nutella does contain nuts, unfortunately the first ingredient is sugar. If you have a tiny taste, count it as 1/2 free pass in your Avoid Sweets Challenge. If...
  • Philippa Ha I figured. The worst. Avoiding it.
  • annefood @Philippa yeah unfortunately nutella is not the best when it comes to nutrition. If you're craving a spoonful of something, try a spoonful of peanut butter. Not the same chocolatey sweetness, but...

Does dried pasta have added sugar?
7yr

  • annefood Hey @Sim ! Dried pasta shouldn't contain any added sugar (or artificial ingredients). Typically the added sugar comes into play in jarred sauce—surprisingly, many tomato sauces have a lot of added...
  • Sim Thank you @annefood, looks like I'll be making my own pasta sauces from now on.
  • annefood You're welcome @Sim ! Making your own sauce is the definitely the best way to ensure good ingredients. Plus it's easy to freeze and have on hand. But when you are short of time and don't have any...
