My vegetarian lifestyle started when I watched a kids news segment on feedlots on Nickelodeon when I was 8 πŸ˜‚ and my favorite good food book I've read since then is Omnivore's Dilemma. (Shoutout to ...
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter The Physiology Of Taste by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. It's old but it's fun reading the perspective of a Frenchman from 1825. "Tell me what you eat and I shall tell you what you are," is his...
  • 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.

It's hard not to eat desserts because they taste so good but I know it will be bad for me in the long run. How can I stop craving desserts?
9yr
  • purplebatman You can throw out or give away any of your dessert food so you don't have it in your house. It will reduce the cravings as you do not see the food every day.
  • nicoleigh Sliced strawberries cooked in the oven on a low temperature for a few hours are pretty tasty :)
  • Emy @kristinamlynar feel you ! Having the same problem over here... It's so hard, because all those tasty little desserts are just delicious ...! πŸ˜…

Does anyone know some fun or life hacks to use while doing the one bite at a time challenge? Anything is a good idea for meπŸ˜‚
9yr
  • DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Try eating with your non dominant hand - it's super hard to eat quickly. You can also try to put your utensil down between each bite as a good reminder to finish your bite before the next one.
  • Rachel_1125 Thanks! that will help me a lot! I appreciate your helpful tip
Stevia?
8yr
Is Stevia something we should avoid as well?
  • annefood @AuthenticBriana great question! Stevia is allowed as it does not have the same effect on your blood sugar levels as sugar. However, you should use limited amounts because it can cause gastric...
Between full fat milk and skim milk

  • AhmedZ is it true that the skim milk has added sugar? if it's true how come it's not shown on the skim milk nutrition details?
  • annefood Hey @AhmedZ ! Great question. Skim milk does not have added sugar, so you're safe there! (Though there are definitely some skim milk "drinks" that do, so I'm thrilled to hear you're reading the...
  • Radwa Skim milk can act as a lighter alternative to milk when you want to use a lot of it.

I kw that fruit juice is not the best option, cuz it's fiber free and full of sugar.. So how about detox and healthy juices which contain fruits and vegetables?? Is it good or still bad cuz it's ...
  • annefood Hey @AhmedZ - Good question. Unfortunately many juices that contain veggies are made up of mostly fruit juice, which is why they taste sweet. As for 100% green veggie juices, they don't pose the...
  • AhmedZ thank u for ur answer, r u saying that fruit juice and fruit + veggie juice r same bad because of the sugar problem? and the only really healthy juice is only veggie juice?
  • annefood Correct, fruit juice and fruit + veg juice both have the sugar problem. 100% veg juice doesn't have the sugar problem, but we do need fiber in our diets, so if you do choose to drink veggie juice...
