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,...

Since it's fall, chili is my go-to meal for dinner. It's easy to make vegan if you swap out animal stock for vegetable stock and ground meat with either tempeh or tofu. It's completely up to you so...
