Bowl dinners are the best
Quinoa, lentils, avocado, roasted beats, roasted chickpeas, with tomato-cucumber salsa. This delicious dinner came together in about 25 minutes, and it’s balanced and full of veggies!
Can I do more than one challenge at a time?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Hi @Ellen89 - you can only do one challenge at a time. We designed it this way because studies show you'll be more successful at building a good habit if you focus on one thing, vs. trying to...

Ellen89 That helps. Thnx!

zsanagustin I just started this challenge yesterday. So far, so good. I just feel my tummy is so heavy! Is this the normal effect?
Is Simply Lite Low Carb Dark Chocolate Sugar-Free 50% Cacao okay for this challenge? Is it healthy or best to just skip it?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I would suggest skipping it because one of its main ingredients is Maltitol, a sugar alcohol or sweetener. Though it is not as sweet as sugar, it’s still an artificial sweetener, which you should...
-
AlexB Okay cool! Thank you. I just usually have one square of super dark chocolate.
-
annefood It's best to just skip it. Sugar alternatives tend to cause gastrointestinal issues when eaten in excess. I eat 100% cacao chips with dried fruit for a little dessert sometimes. No added sugar or...
Having a tough time this weekend. I used two passes. 😬
-
cgsegelette Maybe make yourself an acceptable treat, that tastes great! Fruit smoothie .. pb on frozen banana... good luck 👍 you’ve been doing great
-
annefood I did that last weekend too- ice cream. But I got back on track. Dried fruit was helpful. You can too! Great advice @cgsegelette. You’ve got this @shmoozii !
-
ingalls I have to admit, I’ll most likely use up my passes, too, so have been anticipating which will be my weak days in advance. Like tomorrow... we’re making a fancy dinner for my mother-in-law’s 70th...
any tips for drinking 8 cups of water a day?
-
annefood Hey @JJJJJJ - Have you checked out the Drink 8 Glasses of Water Guidebook https://www.thefoodstand.com/challenge-groups/4-drink-8-glasses-of-water-a-day/guide ? It contains tips like carrying a...

garv Start your day with 3 glasses of water. Great for the system & you have only 5 to go!

LDA I have a 24 oz Seahawks (my team) water container I keep with me always. When I get up within the first hour I drink at least the first 24 oz. I drink water throughout the day. If you need flavor I...
How do marinades weigh in regards to eating sugar? ie: a marinade for meat that uses Dijon mustard before cooking.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians So there are marinades that have added sugar and those that don’t. Dijon mustard is oftentimes made with honey (which is added sugar) so you can try the same recipe with ground mustard instead. You...
-
ingalls Thanks! Part of the question stemmed from picking up pre-made stuff. I noticed some things are awesome - like salad dressing listed ingredients. But marinades might just say “Dijon mustard” with no...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes!! this is a hard one. Once the new nutrition labels hit the market, they will list out the actual grams of added sugar vs naturally occuring sugar. That should make all the difference. Great...
What challenge should I start next?🤨
-
annefood Are there any areas of your diet you’ve been wanting to improve?
-
annefood
Agreed- I keep whole grains and beans in the pantry and when I don’t know what to do for dinner I just throw them in a bowl with a veggie or lettuce and some dressing.

I never thought of raising beets! I love beets any which way . Think I’ll try that! 🤔

Yes! Super easy to roast. Just oil, salt, pepper and straight into the oven.
