DietID_TeamDietitians 7yr This is not a dumb question at all @itscheezybabay - often times these drinks are marketed as healthy alternatives to soda. Unfortunately we don't recommend artificially sweetened beverages like Propel. Propel zero calorie water is actually full of chemicals including Sucralose and Ace K, two chemicals that our friends at the Center for Science in the Public Interest recommend we all avoid. If you like something like Propel, I'd suggest using regular spring water and adding in your own frozen fruit, or opt for Poland Spring naturally flavored spring water or LaCroix flavored water. When in doubt, check the ingredient label and try to avoid zero calorie drinks that contain Aspartame, Acesulfame K (acesulfame potassium), Saccharin, or Sucralose.

DietID_TeamDietitians Applebees is borderline. I'd say if you get a healthier option, like a mostly veggies dish from there, then it wouldn't count as fast food. Hope that helps!

Quick question should I count the Snapple I drink if I'm doing the soda challenge?

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,...
