klassyart Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 There's a Reminder comment at the end of the Sample Reintroduction Plan that I think should be the very first paragraph. It says if you're not missing any particular foods, don't bother reintroducing them. I found it easy to eliminate the food groups from my diet and the only thing I've missed are bacon and chocolate. I make my chocolate using a recipe from Wellnessmama.com and yes, it has honey in it. It's one cup of cocoa powder, one cup of coconut oil, a half cup of honey, tsp of vanilla and a bit of any other flavoring such as mint. I put this in a 9x13 dish and cut it into about 40 pieces and freeze them. My challenge now is to see if I can keep my limit to two pieces a week without waking the sugar dragon. Who knows, maybe I won't even want two pieces? That would be a miracle! And I missed bacon. True, I bought some compliant bacon doing W30, but it was very expensive. I will reintro my regular bacon that has sugar and nitrites in it and see what happens. I am willing to give it up if I need to, though. Health and feeling good is more important than chocolate and bacon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmgrasser Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hey, klassyart! I was worried about finding Whole30 compliant bacon as well and did not want to spend much more on it than regular bacon. I found in our Food Lion a brand called Gwaltney who has a thick sliced bacon not cured with sugar! I copied and pasted their ingredients list below for the particular kind I bought. Looking at the rules and the additives cheat sheet on the Whole30 website, I do not see this as being non-compliant. However, I'm not sure about its quality, so I'm sure there are better choices on that front. This might be good for your budget, though, if sold in a store in your area. Cured With: Water, Salt, Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
