DietID_TeamDietitians Thank you for sharing - this is such an important issue. We will try to be there!
I've made some mistakes, is it still okay?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes of course! If you had a candy or sweet, just use a free pass or a half a pass to keep track. And if you run out of free passes, no worries! You can always start over. The most important thing...

Fruit during sugar detox
Is there a limit on how much fruit you can/should eat during the no sugar challenge? I know it specifically targets added sugars.
-
annefood @ShortAndStrong you are correct- the No Added Sugar Challenge only deals with added sugars. Whole fruit contains fiber that helps your body deal with the sugar load, plus it's not processed and...
I’m a big morning coffee drinker. I use 2 tsp of International Delight coffee creamer and a tbsp of whipped cream. Do I have to ditch this?
-
cgsegelette Ouch! That’s going to be hard but yep😃
-
ElanaG What do I replace with?
-
cgsegelette Check out bullet coffee on line or maybe vanilla almond milk?
Is the fruit “must” in my balsamic vinegar considered an added sugar?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @elievois - nope! fruit must is basically crushed up fruit, so that is a-ok during the Avoid Added Sugar challenge.
-
elievois @Rachna thank you, you may have just saved my sugarless life!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians no problemo!! that's what we're here for =)

It says 3 grams of sugar, but I don’t see sugar in the ingredients unless it’s disguised as something else?? Can I eat this trader joe muesli?
-
annefood Hey! The sugar is coming from the raisins, pear juice concentrate, and dried apples. Current nutrition labels show total sugar, which is a combination of any intrinsic sugars (from fruit, grains,...
-
ElanaG Thank you!!
I’m having a barbecue tonight, what are some no sugar options? And is honey allowed?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Sounds fun! So honey isn’t allowed but you can replace with dates which are naturally sweet. Also opt for a ketchup with no added sugar if your recipe calls for ketchup or stick with tomato paste....

-
sugardetoxme Such a good question!!!! I wish the books I've read turned into films, but Food Chains really sticks out in my mind
-
GooseBarry Agree on Food Chains. I know a lot of people in my community saw FedUp with their kids. I think that also had an impact because it was so widely distributed.
