Soda Substitute: What's a good substitute for soda? What drinks?
-
Lotta I drink water and sometimes put fruit and berries in it :) Sparkling water seems to be a popular alternative, but I personally hate the taste :D
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @RegannePreece - I totally agree with @Lotta. Putting frozen fruit in water or sparkling water is a great way to add flavor without added sugar. I also like hot cinnamon tea. The cinnamon has...

bananazen92 Usually, when looking for alternatives to soda, I turn to tea, fruit/vegetable water, apple cider, plain water, flavored water, or even hot chocolate. There are many different types of tea that...

DietID_TeamDietitians How are you feeling about it?? If you feel like it's becoming a habit, definitely try another one! We just launched our no food waste challenge
-
garv If it's become a habit , then I owe the foodstand team big! I'm determined to make it a habit & no added sugar is the toughest one out there for me , so , I'm confused! Zero food waste has been...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians So good to hear no food waste is already a rule! Try no added sugar. You get a few free passes so it's not about going cold turkey, but instead cutting back.
How do you.....
Sign off for the day on the No Added Sugar challenge?
Logging everything as I go is keeping me on the straight and narrow. But...
My day 2 check ins were all going against day 1 ...then it seeme...

DietID_TeamDietitians Hey Ellie, I'm so sorry you had this issue. Normally, you should be able to check in, and the check in gets recorded for the current day. If you're checking in around midnight, sometimes the...

Ellie1601 Thanks Rachna! Will do! :-)
Does maple syrup added to Greek yogurt count as added sugar?
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hey @parkjimjam! Love your handle :) Yes, maple syrup is still added sugar even though it's more natural than processed sugar. I personally like to add mashed ripe fruit like bananas and...

parkjimjam @darkchocolatepeanutbutter I see! thank you so much for the suggestions!!

akhilg2002 That's a good idea @darkchocolatepeanutbutter !!
Soda Challenge
I'm halfway on the 30-day soda challenge. I have some free passes from earlier challenges, so what happens if I choose to have soda on Christmas and use a pass? Does it extend my challenge?
-
Lotta Thank you :) I haven't had soda at all during the soda challenges, so I thought the passes were from earlier challenges, but I seem to have 5 to use for this one :D
-
annefood Yes exactly! 5 slips over 30 days. And congrats for not using any passes in your previous levels! That's fantastic!
If I want to bake something sweet in less calories, what can I do? For example, replacing milk with water etc.
I've already tried replacing milk with water, eggs with that Semper's No-Egg-thing, and sugar with less sugar or sweetener.
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Most baked goods are calorically-dense even if they are made without animal products so it's good to eat an appropriate portion. You can use substitutes for regular milk like soy milk or coconut...

Uber Aaalright! Thanks to you both! (: @darkchocolatepeanutbutter & @annefood
Too much water?
I've heard two objections to drinking 8 cups of water a day: 1) water can reduce the amount of good gut bacteria and 2) cause your electrolytes to become unbalanced. Are either of these valid reaso...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @hobmij! Great question. As Anne mentioned, most people would need to drink well beyond 8 glasses before it can have detrimental impacts to your health, especially if you are counting tea and...
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @hobmij! As @annefood and @Rachna said, the amount of water we drink depends on our personal needs so experiment with how much water you need to get through the day. Also may I ask where you got...
Help please...need advice...thank you in advance.

Monica101 I had orange juice. Can I use it as s pass, since I have one left.? I drank it because I grew sick.
-
annefood Hey Monica101 ! So sorry to hear you are sick. Was the orange juice 100% fruit juice? It so, then it doesn't have any added sugar and you don't need to take a free pass. We recommend drinking juice...
-
Monica101 Yes the oj it was 100% . I will use my last pass. Thank you so much.
Keep seeing these beautiful squash blossoms in the Italian markets!
What's the best way to prepare them?
-
sugardetoxme Flash fry and stuff em with ricotta and savory chives
-
gingerandchorizo Lucky you!! I will stuff them with ricotta and anchovies and lightly fry them with batter
-
garv Goat cheese & toasted cashews makes a great stuffing. Although fried blossoms is a safe bet , light searing or a light roast works well too.

Pack your day with fun stuff to do & time your meals well. I agree though , weekends are tough to get by... good luck to ya

@finaflorence I totally feel ya. In my weekday routine it's much easier to stay on track. @garv 's advice is great. Having fun is a great distraction. If you're out to breakfast with friends, stick...

This one is tough for me! I find that if I have one of my splurge meals times during the weekend, I do better at sticking with a pseudo-weekday routine before and after because I'm so looking...
