  • cgsegelette Maybe make yourself an acceptable treat, that tastes great! Fruit smoothie .. pb on frozen banana... good luck šŸ‘ youā€™ve been doing great
  • annefood I did that last weekend too- ice cream. But I got back on track. Dried fruit was helpful. You can too! Great advice @cgsegelette. Youā€™ve got this @shmoozii !
  • ingalls I have to admit, Iā€™ll most likely use up my passes, too, so have been anticipating which will be my weak days in advance. Like tomorrow... weā€™re making a fancy dinner for my mother-in-lawā€™s 70th...

Can I use whole milk and espresso without sweetener? Definitely better flavor but doesnā€™t the whole milk replace sugar w other calories??
  • annefood Using whole milk instead of sweetener is a great replacement! When thinking about a healthy whole/real foods diet, donā€™t focus on the calories. If you turn your attention to the quality of the...

  • ElanaG Thanks!!
ā€œLactic acidā€ vs ā€œLactoseā€ on the list of 56 sugar names - also something to avoid?

  • annefood No, you donā€™t need to avoid lactic acid in the Avoid Added Sugar Challenge. Itā€™s used in fermentation (yogurt, pickled veggies, sourdough...) and as a preservative or flavoring agent.
  • annefood And lactose is an intrinsic sugar (not an added sugar) that is naturally occurring in dairy. So no need to worry about that either.
  • ingalls Thanks! I kept looking it up. ;-)

Salt craving
6yr
Iā€™ve been craving salt lately. Is this related to not having added sugar? Is anyone else craving salt?? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
  • annefood I do not believe that there is a nutritional correlation, but it could be that youā€™re reaching for salty snacks since sweet ones are off the menu. Or perhaps the heat?
  • shmoozii I think youā€™re right. Itā€™s a little weird is all.
  • garv Not weird at all . Salt does provide satiation.
Agave nectar

Is that allowed?
  • annefood Nope! Agave nectar is an added sugar (as are maple syrup, coconut nectar, honey, etc.).
  • ElanaG I didnā€™t think so, so I used half a pass since I ate a couple spoonfuls of Greek yogurt with it (siggi).
    Hard to find stuff while away on business!
  • annefood Good call. Yes it is indeed!
