tulipgirl6 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 OK so this is my first whole30 and I started on Jan1; before I started or knew about the whole30 I did try eliminating sugars and ate pretty close to whole30 so I thought why not go all the way? My question is this: to begin with, 60 pounds and a year ago I used to get severe salt cravings or munchies around 3 PM. More recently I've been having a date and 3 walnuts with a lt coffee made with almond milk; Am I now feeding a 3 pm sugar demon with that snack? I drink 2-3 liters of water a day so that one almond milk / coffee concoction doesn't seem so bad in that context . . . . help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The way to deal with the sugar dragon is to not feed it with anything sweet, so avoid fruit in this context. Ideally, do something non-food related: go for a walk, call a friend, take a bubble bath. If you are genuinely hungry (litmus test, you could eat something bland like steamed fish and broccoli), the recommendation is to have a mini meal of protein, veg and fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
