  • KatePeppiatt Thanks @annefood I guess being Easter it was a bit ambitious to try the no sweets, candy, desserts challenge the last few days. I'm starting again today and although there is still chocolate eggs...
  • annefood You're right it can be really hard to try and establish a new habit when there's candy everywhere! I'm so glad you feel better not eating them. Planning ahead for when a sweet craving comes along...

7yr
  • annefood Hi @kmk02 ! Great question. What sort of foods do you crave, and what time of day do you tend to crave them?
  • kmk02 @annefood i usually start to crave things such as chocolate or crackers around 3
  • annefood There are a variety of reasons why you might be craving certain foods in the afternoon. First, cravings might occur if you haven't had balanced meals throughout the day. If I skip breakfast or have...

I spied Agave Syrup in my ‘natural’ peanut butter before putting it in my smoothie!

  • DietID_TeamDietitians yes!! so many 'natural' products sneak in sweeteners. Definitely check the ingredient labels on the back of the package. The front of the package is all marketing =).
  • annefood Awesome @ingalls! You’ll come to find that many companies slap “natural” on the label for impact, when the word doesn’t actually have any meaning. Great catch!
Hidden ingredients!!! 😡😡

Is Simply Lite Low Carb Dark Chocolate Sugar-Free 50% Cacao okay for this challenge? Is it healthy or best to just skip it?
6yr
  • DietID_TeamDietitians I would suggest skipping it because one of its main ingredients is Maltitol, a sugar alcohol or sweetener. Though it is not as sweet as sugar, it’s still an artificial sweetener, which you should...
  • AlexB Okay cool! Thank you. I just usually have one square of super dark chocolate.
  • annefood It's best to just skip it. Sugar alternatives tend to cause gastrointestinal issues when eaten in excess. I eat 100% cacao chips with dried fruit for a little dessert sometimes. No added sugar or...
