I didn't give it up because of sugar or creamers; I drink it black already. I just had some concerns. Anyway, as it happens, once I got past a few days I was fine! Haven't had it for over a month now, and I don't miss it. Well, maybe the occasional Americano But perhaps I'll have one when I want to, and not just because I have it every morning!

It's been a week and a half, and I consumed a great deal before (2 pots, 3? I work from home half time, so it was pretty bad.) Yes, the first few days were TERRIBLE, but then I felt fine, until a few days ago, when I felt absolutely exhausted for a few days. I get lots of sleep, so I don't think that's it. I'm pretty sure I need some carbs in there, so I'll get some sweet potatoes and spaghetti squash (which I totally forgot about, how did I do that?) tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your advice!

One more question, I have given up coffee, and while I have noticed some good results I am so exhausted. I think this may be because I have had to eliminate nightshades, as well as several other kinds of veggies, and my carbs are very low. Could low carbs be accounting for my exhaustion? Would you recommend adding sweet potatoes in? Thanks!

That is, unfortunately, a kitchen myth that will not die! There are very, very few recipes that involve long enough simmering times to evaporate all of the alcohol, sorry. Believe me, I wish it were so...

Has anyone else used Trader Joe's ghee/clarified butter? I am off dairy completely except ghee, and I bought some instead of my regular Organic Valley blend, and it looks... grainy. It looks like it has protein still left in it. Has anyone tried it with good/bad results?

Very bad reaction after reintroducing dairy...
Alix B. replied to Schnauzy's topic in Whole30 Reintroduction
Ditto. One little pat of butter in my potatoes, and I'm done for for days. Dairy is my enemy! -
I saw elsewhere on the forums that someone suddenly started have a symptom that they traced to the BPA lining in their can of coconut milk! I don't see any on your food list, but it could be something sneaky like that...

This is hilarious, and so true! Someone should photoshop a food pyramid with guacamole as the base as a graphic for promoting Whole 30

Eggs or Avocados: likely inflammation/bloating culprit??
Alix B. replied to Alix B.'s topic in Whole30 Reintroduction
Further updates, for anyone who is interested: I am okay with eggs as long as they are totally cooked through! So, scrambled, yes! Fried, no (because I like my fired eggs a little runny.) I hope this can be of help to someone else! I'm glad I don't have to give up eggs entirely!- 9 replies

Alix B. replied to Alix B.'s topic in Whole30 Reintroduction
And the winner is... eggs. I was eating too many. I seem to be fine, thank goodness, with moderate consumption, however. Just not 3 for each meal Thanks everyone for your input!- 9 replies

"I want to do whole30 but I'm going to eat..."
Alix B. replied to Sarabeth5's topic in Friends and family
Oh my goodness, that could have been me. I was all excited about Whole30, but a little disappointed about dairy. I mean, I get the highest quality, grass-fed, raw dairy products, and those are GOOD for me, right? I hated to deprive myself of all the benefits of my lovely raw milk, yogurt, and cheese. 5 days (!) later, I could already tell that dairy was an inflammatory, problem food for me. I had never gone 5 days without dairy in my entire life... suddenly, my skin was more clear, my eyes were brighter, and other more serious problems were clearing up. I don't know how to convince them, but there's a great reason that they say 'you're not doing a Whole30' if you continue to eat those foods; without the very strict admonishments to STICK TO THE PLAN, I would have 'cheated' with dairy and had no idea what it was doing to me. Good luck convincing them! -
My whole life I've been wearing black tops because it shows the least... now I may have to investigate a whole new world of options!

Not sweats related to Menopause, just less sweating in general? I have always had a problem with 'sweating through' my shirts, and now it seems like that problem has vanished! Giving up diary has resulted in a lot of positive changes for me, but I just realized I haven't had the dreaded underarm patches of sweat on my clothes for a while now. I'm guessing this is related to a reduction in inflammation; anyone else have this experience? This is especially welcome as we enter Summer!

Thank you both. That's kind of what I thought, but I was hoping for a shortcut -
Eggs or Avocados: likely inflammation/bloating culprit??
Alix B. posted a topic in Whole30 Reintroduction
Ok, if I'm experiencing bloating and my ankles are suddenly NOWHERE to be found, is it more likely to be eggs or avocados? I had a week without both, and then ate both in quantity over the weekend and I look like a different person. Could it be either? The eggs, just in case it matters, are from a local, biological farm. No soy in the feed (they're outside all the time right now anyway.) Thanks for any input!- 9 replies
