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

garv Add some dairy proteins to your meal. Labneh will pair well with this one. But yeah , I thought quitting sugar was the toughest challenge from the list
-
DiotimeBoudoussier @garv Agree! Super tough and I got to admit I almost used all the passes... 🙈🙉🙊 Thing is I cant eat dairy proteins because m a vegan... Does soy Labneh exist? 😹
