caitlino Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi All! I'm on day 6 of my first whole 30 and things are going great so far. I bought a package of Alexia Yukon Select frozen hash browns with this ingredient list: potatoes, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, autolyzed yeast. Is the autolyzed yeast a problem? It also lists "sugars less than 1g" on the nutrition facts, but is this just because of the naturally occurring sugars in the potatoes since no sugar is listed in the ingredients? Thanks! I just want to make sure... don't want to have any accidental "cheats". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 One ingredient real foods are always the best choice. Making your own potatoes would be the preferred option. This is a convenient food but one that could easily be overused over one ingredient real foods. One ingredient real foods break the cycles of fast, convenient foods. Meals comprised of "one" ingredients -fish, broccoli, potato, leafy lettuce, avocado...in their natural and whole state can be enjoyed without any repercussions. Tread lightly with processed foods as they are a reminder or a replacement of all of the old formations and favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure... don't want to have any accidental "cheats". Autolyzed yeast isn't optimal - making your own homemade hash browns would be the best option. Its inclusion in this product doesn't rule this out as compliant. And yes, you're right on the sugars. Ingredients lists rule on a Whole30. If there is sugar or any sweetener in the ingredients list, it's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaGirl Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 There is no cheating on a whole 30 in my eyes.. when you screw up you simply start over.. You cheat on a weight watchers program.."diet" programs.. There just is no cheating on a whole 30.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindalindalinda Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 This feels like a "technically approved" processed food that Whole 30 is designed to break you free from. Kind of like coconut flour pancakes! If you need a lot of carbs I'd buy a sweet potato and roast it in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted March 5, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2015 Autolyzed yeast could contain MSG. It is one of the sneaky phrases used. It might not. I avoid it. Excitotoxins are a scary thing to ingest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
