Cindi Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Here is my recipe. I think it is just fine but tell me what you think. Obviously this isn't everyday fare, it takes too long anyway so definitely a weekend special. 6 eggs 1/2 banana a peach or half a peach 1/4 cup coconut flour dash of sea salt 1/2 stick of kerry gold butter Whirl it in the blender and fry them up in coconut oil.

Bridgedurso Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 These would qualify squarely as SWYPO (Sex With Your Pants On). No paleo-fied versions of treat type foods during your whole30. These interfere with your ability to break the habit of craving sweet, breast foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
befabdaily Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 For not-so-strict paleo, sure -- but for Whole30, I think these fall in the SWYPO category (trying to replicate something that you miss with technically compliant ingredients). You'd have to clarify the butter to be compliant, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindi Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 isn't Kerry Gold butter okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifjewel Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 KerryGold is great post whole 30, but is very definitely not ok. It is dairy. Ghee, clarified butter is ok because the milk proteins and sugars are removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Cindi- You can buy clarified butter in many health food stores or online, or you can make it yourself. There are many tutorials online for making ghee (clarified butter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindi Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Well pooh. I thought I was doing a whole30 and not so much. I guess I'll have a go at it again later in Sept. I'll keep doing what I'm doing and maybe switch it up some for the rest of the month at least. I'll be traveling Sept 1 and food choices may be limited so I won't be doing whole30 then.

DonC Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oh man - sitting here munching on the tasty muffins I just made thinking I'm doing OK. A friend brought me 4 quarts of beautiful wild blueberries that I'm trying to use up in recipes. Here's the ingredients: 1/2 cup coconut flour (I used 2:1 coconut to almond flour for better texture) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup banana puree (I used 1 banana) 6 eggs , beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons lemon juice 4 tablespoons coconut oil 1/4 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup blueberries This made 12 muffins; I had 2 with a big side of sugar free US Wellness beef bacon.

Derval Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think anything that aims to be a baked good is swypo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Just for the sake of clarification: If it looks like, acts like, or (pretty much) tastes like a food choice that's "less than healthy" (baked goods, pancakes, puddings, ice creams), even if the ingredients are compliant, its out for the duration of your program. Making and eating these foods does nothing to change your bad habits, even if the ingredients are different. *Note: Julienned vegetables (and spaghetti squash) as a replacement for pasta are fine - the taste and texture in no way recreates actual pasta. Coconut and almond flour used as a coating are also fine (unless, of course, you really struggle with KFC cravings - and I'm sure some folks do). This is where the individualized part of SWYPO comes in. DonC - I don't see any ingredients in your muffins that would upset the reset or healing process inside your body, so I wouldn't suggest that you start over, but rather take the lessons learned and go on from here. Cindi - I would encourage you not to wait to start again, but to clarify that butter and give things another go starting now. You've already started to build the habits, so adding a few more days to your projected end date will be easier than you think. Plan ahead to compensate for the limited food choices and just keep on trucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindi Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks for the advice. Oh, I'm not starting over, just continuing on with a few tweaks to make it right. I'll have to have a chance to get to the store to get some clarified butter (or I'll check out how to make some). But after a short break, in early Sept, I'll do it again and do it right. Although the short break is NOT going to be a free for all either. I haven't done wheat in almost a year now. I'm not going back to that for ANY reason. But during my break from whole30 I might add a bit of dairy so I can have some cheese and maybe a bit of cream for my coffee. Although I might really try to do the coffee with coconut milk again and see how that goes. I think a BIGGIE that I have given up is my artificial sweeteners or other sweeteners like honey. This has been a REALLY BIG deal. So I would really like to keep going on that. So, not undoing all that I've done and I'll listen to my body as I add a tiny bit of dairy in. At least I don't use a whole lot of butter. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
