Letsgogreen09 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 ISWF doesn't talk about reintroducing sugar. I am wondering, if I can reintroduce sugar with dairy,like in a flavored coffee or something. I do want to be able to eat sugar. I miss home made baked goods and yummy flavored caribou coffees with whipped cream more than bread or pasta type stuff. Should I give sugar it's own reintro day, maybe after everything else? I am already thinking if/when I bake I will deff cut down on sugar, use coconut,apple sauce or honey in place of sugar as much as possible Also, if/when I indulge in a caribou coffee I will have them put maybe 1/4th of the chocolate/syrups/sugary stuff because I don't think I can handle much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letsgogreen09 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just want to clarify, while I miss sugar, I don't feel like Im "craving" it. Instead I find myself craving fresh fruit, for the texture and flavor. Maybe that's the same thing as craving sugar, Although it feels different...not sure how to explain.

Susan W Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Actually, ISWF introduces dairy and sugar together in the form of ice cream. Sugar is not usually something that affects people physically. It's usually more of a mental sugar dragon thing. I never did a reintro of sugar. I am so aware of what it does to me, so no reason. I have found (recently) that fruit does not have the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letsgogreen09 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just re-read the chapter on reintro, you're right! I must have missed that because I was looking for specific instructions on sugar... I can't believe how nervous I am! Even just a week ago I was thinking how I could wait for this to be over...now I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 After 6 (maybe its 5) W whatevers, I can tell you I rarely travel off of the W30 path. I just simply feel better with no dairy (actually I do have 1 TBS half and half in my iced coffee), wheat, or legumes. I rarely (maybe twice a year) have sugar or alcohol.

GFChris Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Here's Melissa's take on sugar reintro, and why it's not explicitly called out with its own reintro day in ISWF: http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/11298-day-31-re-intro-email-sugar-not-listed/#entry115489 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIIxOveR Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just re-read the chapter on reintro, you're right! I must have missed that because I was looking for specific instructions on sugar... I can't believe how nervous I am! Even just a week ago I was thinking how I could wait for this to be over...now I'm not so sure. Man I can TOTALLY relate! I'm on Day 26 and I'm actually pretty nervous about reintroduction. I don't want to keep going but at the same time I can't imagine ever stopping. Outside of having one piece of homemade raspberry pie, going out for an ice cream cone with my kids before the ice cream stands all close down (an annual, fall tradition of ours) is the only thing I'm actually looking forward to post Whole30. Otherwise I could see myself never stopping, both hating it but loving how I feel all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
