garv I think it's certainly worth an experiment!

munchiemummy I think, based on the verbiage of the article, that this may have been written in/about the UK, in which case, I think a massive problem is the rising rent for high street shops. There should be...

Day 2/7: Avoid Added Sugar Level III
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep! Acceptable. Try not to overdo it with dates because they are quite sweet, but they are a great replacement in desserts.
-
annefood Yes @DiotimeBoudoussier ! Naturally occurring sugars in dried fruit are okay in small quantities. Try to avoid "date sugar" because it lacks the fiber that whole dates have, but a cookie sweetened...

garv Eating a date early evening makes for a great sugar rush + it's nutritious! I add a few to my pre-run smoothie

-
mmorawski For the cobs, even after they’re boiled or steamed? I’ve heard that once vegetables are cooked, you shouldn’t compost them. Just wondering…
-
annefood @mmorawski it’s fine to compost cooked veggies as long as they’re only steamed or boiled- so no fat or sauces.
