violetta Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I have not eaten much sugar since my Whole30 but I decided to have a little chocolate today to try it. I noticed immediately that I had an intense, whole body hot flash like during menopause but I haven't had any for about 3-4 years. I tried it again later and had the same reaction, so hot I had to run the air conditioner full blast in the car on a very cold day. It only lasted a couple minutes and was gone but I was sweating profusely for that time. I noticed it even this evening when I had 1/2 banana, which is something that I have eaten many times since Whole30 with, I thought, no reaction. Anyone else have this reaction? I supposed this could have happened lots of times previous to Whole30 but I didn't isolate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Is it possible there was anything else in the chocolate? Soy lecithin is a common one.I mean, yes, sugar can effect the heart rate in some people, which in turn could cause a hot flush (it's recommended to reduce sugar intake to lessen the symptoms of menopause), but I'd imagine that the naturally occurring sugar in a banana would effect the body differently - although that would be relative to how ripe/unripe the banana was.
