Protein shake
7yr
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.

  • 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...

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?
