Ancestral Foodie Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hey, I assume this is okay, but thought I should double check, as I'm on day 8 and I don't want to blow it! The thing is, it's so damn nice, it seems like it can't be allowed?! I've got the Zenian Organic Creamed Coconut. I just eat it with a spoon! Nice way to finish off a meal. Look forward to hearing from you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If it does not have any non-compliant ingredients, it is ok to have on the whole30. That said, if you are using it as a dessert substitute, you might want to reconsider: we are working on making new habits, and needing a sweet taste after a meal is one of the old ones.

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted September 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 8, 2014 I put my coconut manna/coconut butter on my sweet potatoes sometimes. I find I can't eat it from a spoon (unless I need a little fat for a Pre-Workout meal and nothing else is available), or it is food without brakes that keeps my sugar dragon alive and well.

Ancestral Foodie Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ah, okay thats great, thanks! I don't know if I have a sugar dragon, as I'm big into savoury foods. I usually eat grass fed butter on everything! (but not on Whole30). For me, it's just something nice after dinner if I'm still feeling a little hungry and there aren't any left overs. I assume that because it's high fat, it should be a good thing to have as opposed to fresh fruit etc? I probably have about 4 - 5 teaspoons of the stuff...

missmary Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The whole30 doesn't ask you to decide if you have a sugar dragon or not, and it doesn't have separate rules for those who do. If you regularly need 4-5 teaspoons more fat after your meals it means you are not eating enough at your meals. It would be worth trying to increase protein, fat and vegetables in the context of the meal template instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
