Thank you for responding, Sugarcube. (Have you ever thought of taking up roller derby? That would be a great derby name.)
Forgive me; I started the Whole30 before I read the books, so this is probably covered at some point. Are apples considered a less-than-ideal snack just during a Whole30, or is that the general perspective for afterward, too?
I’ll be honest: I’m embracing a lot of new concepts for this experiment, and I’ve understood the reasoning behind the recommendations. I do get the recommendation to limit nuts. However, I’m having trouble getting behind “apples aren’t a good snack,” if I’m honest. I understand they do have significant natural sugar, but it isn’t the kind that wakes up a sugar dragon.
If I could impose on you a bit further, I’d love to hear more. I started this with a total commitment to hearing other perspectives on what is “healthy,” and I truly am open to new ways of thinking. If it matters, I am not having headaches at all; I just saw your response to another member. And I seem to have dropped my sugar cravings - except for my afternoon apple, obvs.
