Is eating dates acceptable during the no sugar challenge? I just couldn't resist that raw vegan gluten free cookie 🙊
simply raw bakery
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
Quick question , do dried cranberries have added sugar in them ?
-
annefood @Lazy_Nash good question! Unfortunately yes, most do. Since cranberries are so tart, they are always sweetened when dried. Occasionally you can find fruit juice sweetened dried cranberries at a...
-
JenniferEmilson Some health food stores do carry sour dried cranberries. In other words, no sugar added. When you find them, stock up!! 👌🏻
-
annefood Good to know @JenniferEmilson ! I've never seen them entirely unsweetened in all of my health food store travels.
What if I don't get thirsty that much ? Is it a bad thing ?
-
annefood Hey @Lazy_Nash ! Not feeling thirsty isn't necessarily a bad thing—it's normal for some people to feel more thirsty than others. But despite not feeling thirsty you still need fluids. Simply making...
-
annefood You're welcome @Lazy_Nash !
Guys. Please!! Does a spoon of this count as a snack??? It can't possibly. It's nuts right? Right???

Food Revolution Day 2016 is just one week away! This week (in addition to joining Foodstand!) we launched the #foodrevolution International Omelette Challenge.
It's the ultimate fast food, and de...

Brianne My favorite fast omelette filling: arugula and mushroom - because both items cook extremely quickly, are easy to chop, and add a ton of flavor - umami + spice! #FoodRevolution
-
mirasingh achaar like @chitraagrawal's Brooklyn Dehli Achaar. I make this for breakfast often because it takes me 5 minutes, tops!
-
munchiemummy Omelettes are my go-to, chuck-everything-in, lazy weeknight dinner. My favourite is just veggie-tactic: onions, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes 👌🏼
Does matcha count?
I was wondering if matcha power counted as a fruit/vegetable since the powder is litterally ground up tea leaf. You don't just infuse it, you eat the fibers too. Does my matcha latte count as a por...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Great question @anniemegusta! Unfortunately matcha does not count as a fruit or vegetable for this challenge even though it can be added to baked goods or smoothies. Try to incorporate more whole...
-
annefood Hey @anniemegusta ! Good question. While matcha has tons of antioxidants and is generally regarded to have many health benefits, it does not count as a fruit or vegetable for the Eat More...
Quick question should I count the Snapple I drink if I'm doing the soda challenge?
Milwaukee, WI
-
annefood Hey @itscheezybabay ! Great question. Since Snapple is a sugar sweetened drink (or artificially sweetened for diet) you should count it as a soda.
-
itscheezybabay @annefood so I should just drink water during this challenge
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes definitely drink water during the Challenge. You can also drink seltzer if you're craving a fizzy drink, but be sure to get plain seltzer or naturally flavored seltzer like Poland spring lemon,...

annefood @NellieGillespie so glad you're bringing your own lunch! @garv 's suggestions are great. I like to have different salad ingredients on hand and prepare some cooked ingredients ahead of time so that...
