kaylanorma Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 On Day 12 and just now starting to struggle. Prior to starting the Whole30 I was eating 80/20 Paleo, so my initial transition wasn't that difficult. I find that I'm still craving sugar after large meals and I've definitely overindulged in fruit --- at one point eating 2 dates dipped in Sunbutter --- which may be grounds for starting over? Other than fruit, my food choices seem to end up being extremely (but not purposely) low-carb. If I included more dense carb sources, could that mitigate my sugar cravings to some extent? Also, what are good compliant carbohydrate sources other than sweet potatoes and fruit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what are good compliant carbohydrate sources other than sweet potatoes and fruit? More than likely yes. Any winter squash, rutabaga, beets, plantains, carrots, celeriac, potatoes are all good sources. The dates dipped in sun butter doesn't call for a restart, but keep in mind that the only way to kill the sugar dragon is to starve it. Cutting way back on fruit and nut butters, especially eaten at the end of a meal, is the best course of action. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 You might want to experiment with the time that you eat carbs. Some people get less cravings when they eat carbs in the morning other when they eat them at night. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
