Can I eat vanilla kissel during the "don't eat sweets, dessert or candy" -challenge? I haven't done it yet, but I may do it later
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I would say no, because Kissel is usually made with added sugar. Sorry!
-
Uber @Rachna ookay, thanks! (:
No sugar breakfast on the go!

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes It's super easy @emy and @mayacaul! I have a small 1 egg pan, so I don't even have to worry about the shape of the egg. Let me know if you try it.
How can I make a good plan for an athlete
-
dizzydumby Look up athletes cook books 👍🏼 there's honestly great ones out there 😋 I use Charlotte Crosbys book, it's easy to follow and not to strict but super healthy 🤓

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,...
Plain Greek yogurt with chia seeds makes a great #nosugar #breakfast
-
Brianne I like to toss in some bananas and nuts for added texture. I took me a couple tries to get used to the texture of chia seeds, but now I love it.

melaniegong No sugar! Yay!
Replace saturated fats from butter, lard, pastries,cream with unsaturated fats found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, oily fish and avocados.
-
annefood Great tip !
-
SuzanneM 100% agree with this tip. I know there is a lot of info out there about fat making a comeback. But it's not about any fat. We need to be eating healthy fat!
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Love the tip @evasu! I just to clarify that a vegetable oil like coconut oil can also be saturated but it is still a great alternative.
Is stevia okay to sweeten my coffee since it is a plant?
-
meghanmjacobs Awesome! I can't do black coffee alone 😝
-
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:)
Don't get more than you can eat and try eating slower since this balances out your digestive system allows you to become more full quickly.
-
Unpassions You guys got any questions?
-
KyFish What is your strategy for knowing how much you can eat? At cafeterias where I have to choose my own portions, I never seem to get it right.
-
Unpassions @KyFish First of all, try not to skip meals because skipping your meal may result in you with an abnormally large appetite. Second of all, try starting out with your veggies since these are always...
Green tea
Is it necessary to drink green tea??? How many cups should I drink everyday
-
Lazy_Nash It is recomended about 3 cups a day
-
maria122 Thanks
-
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 ...! 😅
-
ellieks
Everyday put a little less sugar and then eventually you'll be drinking your tea with no sugar!
