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 =)
Added sugar??
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?
-

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.

How do you Salvage Salad Greens?
food52.com
@Food52 recently did this post on salvaging salad greens in soup. I just did this with some leftover tatsoi. Sure some of you have tips. Any suggestions?
-
olivettefarm Love tatsoi! I like to add that to smoothies when I have a ton. I also like to grill romaine heads if they're beginning to wilt.
-
katewilson Those are good ones. My dad loves spinach in his smoothies. And he's a beast behind the grill! Grilled romaine sounds great with blue cheese. @olivettefarm

DietID_TeamDietitians My favorite morning snack - a few almonds and plain yogurt. If I had more time, I'd love to make idli on weekends and grab those!
