Lisa L Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I can see how sugar deserves it's own reintroduction phase (if you choose to "go there") but what about potatoes? I don't mean french fries or anything but a baked red potato or something, Not sure I could eat potatoes for 3 meals a day - would it be "non gluten grains" day even though it's not a grain?

missmary Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 not many people have a strong reaction to potatoes. I didn't do three per day to reintroduce, just waited until I wanted some post-whole30, (probably months later) ate them, then didn't add anything new for a day or so to observe.

Jenny2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think the concern with white potatoes is just that it's more likely to awaken the sugar dragon. I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 White potatoes are part of the nightshade family so some people react to that. The reason they are excluded from the program is primarily because of the way they are viewed in our society as chips and fries etc. I have no problem including potato in my post-w30 life but I try not to use that as justification for buying chips and fries all the time. More that if I get them in my CSA I eat them happily. They are not as nutrient dense as other vegetables but they are not devoid of nutrients either. I'm not sure they really have a sugar dragon component - but I don't struggle with the sugar dragon. I struggle with the crispy salty dragon thus why I have to be careful with the chips/fries.
