berry987 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm going to blame my mental lapse on my crazy week (two of my kids just got over H1N1 and we're in the middle of a home remodel), but I read about larabars being compliant and ran out and bought some. I checked for added sugar and only bought ones sweetened with dates, but I forgot about peanuts. I ate 4 or 5 peanut butter cookie larabars over the last week or so. Anyway, I know this is not earth shattering, but I'm wondering if I've stalled my whole30 in some way? So annoying - I've been so vigilant (you know how hard it is to bake homemade cupcakes and frosting for your five year olds birthday and NOT lick a spoon???) and then mess up with peanuts?! I'm planning to just keep going...I'm actually going to do 60 days, but I'm just, I don't know, asking if anyone else has done something similar and still felt/seen results?

GFChris Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Accidentally ingesting legumes does not merit a restart. The guidance I would give you here is to not eat legumes for at least 30 days, so you're legume-free for 30 consecutive days. If you're doing a 60 day Whole30, that would take care of it.

laurenislost Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I had an accidental slip too (I belive there was sugar in the egg?) with this sashimi omelet piece that was in a rice-less Chriachi bowl I had this weekend. My reason for not restarting was that I had no intention of eating the added sugar, and no idea that I would have had to look up something that appeared to be just egg based, so I am not going to beat myself up over a probably insignificant. I feel like even if you strive to 100% perfect in your Whole 30, there will be a margin of error, so it is pointless to dwell on a minor mistake, right?

eryntracy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think I might have done something similar! I ate a pickle with my beef patty out at a restaurant this weekend, figuring I was fine because it wasn't a sweet pickle - but now I'm realizing who knows what was in that!? Gah. Guess it's best to not beat myself up and just keep going, right? Day 15... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
