WWOOF IN EUROPE
Hey all! Looking for any recommendations for organic farms/retreats in Europe that take volunteers (wwoof or workaway). I will be in Copenhagen and Berlin but can travel anywhere for a great experi...
Can I only do one challenge at a time?
-
annefood @xlalsbddn great question. Yes, you can only do one Challenge at a time. It has been shown that people are better at forming long-lasting habits when they tackle one element of their diet at a...
Coffee
Is there anything I can add to coffee that isn't sweet but still has a semi sweet taste? I've been working on the no soda challenge and want to again try the avoid sweetened beverages challenge. I'...

annefood @NicoleDanielle I put a splash of this unsweetened coconut almond milk in my coffee when I'm at home https://www.califiafarms.com/toasted-coconut-almondmilk - it has a naturally sweet and creamy...

NicoleDanielle Thank you! @annefood

WEQ I know it's not easy, but if you try having your coffee black for about a week you soon come to enjoy it without the additions. Also, buy the best coffee you can for the best flavour. Your taste...
Protein shake
Hi everybody, quick question. Does the Protein Skake for muscle mass building be considered as sweetened food (which is the case) but so useful after workouts?
-
annefood Great question @johnnyjumper ! No, your protein shake is not considered to be a sweet/dessert, and is allowed on this Challenge. We designed this Challenge to help people get out of the habit of...

johnnyjumper Ok interesting. Thanks Anne! I'll try to find a protein shake without any additional sweetener or@make one myself.
Does it still count if I had 7 glasses of water and a smoothie?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep!!!! Smoothies have ice in them so that counts as a glass of water 👍👍👍
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Absolutely! Anything consisting of liquids counts although I suggest if you consume a caffeinated drink like coffee or green tea, to drink a glass of water afterwards. Caffeine can dehydrate the...
-
lenaaaap I have to disagree with darkchocolatepeanutbutter! Not anything consisting liquids count. You can't drink coke or something . It only counts water and unsweetened tee. But a smoothie is also ok...
Why the new nutrition labels won't work <- I disagree with this. Do you?
politico.com
This article kind of boils my blood. It doesn't take into account that nutrition labels were paired with advice to reduce fat and no info about sugar. So in that case, i imagine people followed the...

garv So the rules are made to help companies world over to find a work around. Rather keep it simple , symbols that denote stuff like suited for diabetics , not suitable for pregnant ladies , how...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes!! Totally agree! The many faces of sugar are highly problematic. I hope we can get simplified labels soon. And yes - great idea - we should get the movie teams on this issue!

etsummer The line about "maybe it's time to start considering genetically modifying foods to make them healthier"...do we have that little faith in the public's disrection? yeesh
Friends, if you haven't tried banana ice cream do it , it is worth it and it with no added sugar , just had it and not dissapointed !

Udi I was recently taught how to do this by my girlfriend and it blew my mind. Really tastes delicious. Excellent use for those bananas you forget about and get a bit too ripe. Throw 'em in the freezer...

emmie I love doing this! Adding strawberries and honey make it extra delicious :)
-
annefood So happy you tried it @Lazy_Nash ! So good, right?! I love adding a spoonful of nut butter or topping it with toasted pecans or almonds and some toasted unsweetened coconut flakes. The BEST dessert.
More then one challenge?
-
Emy I'm also new here, but I think you can just do 1 challenge at a time
-
annefood Hey @cassidyinks and @Emy ! You are correct—currently you can only do 1 Challenge at a time. It has been shown that tackling one aspect of your diet at a time is the best way to form new habits.

lilaviolet I have completed the coke challenge but how do I do another challenge?
