ajax1015 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi all, I'm planning to begin the Whole30 in January, and I'm really excited for food freedom and awareness. One thing is giving me pause though...in college I learned that I have a very negative physical reaction to avocados (read: panic attacks, weird right??). I think they taste great but I don't want to ruin the positive effects of the Whole30 by adding a food that I know my body reacts poorly to into my diet. Technically I'm not allergic; the doctor said intolerant (the reaction kicked in 3 hours after eating, not right away). That being said, SO many Whole30 recipes use avocado and it's like one of 3 healthy fat options... Can I still do the Whole30? Should I try out avocado again in the safety of my home to see if it was a fluke? I have never heard of anyone else having this issue, so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks!

Moderators Tom Denham Posted December 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2015 I go months at a time without eating any avocado. There are plenty of other sources of fat to eat during a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoe Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi ajax1015 Avocados make me super sick too But you can eat just fine on a W30 &/ paleo without them As Tom says - there are plenty of other fats & foods Zoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted December 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2015 For fats, try olives,coconut and occasionally nuts/seeds. Make mayo, salad dressings, dips and sauces. Choose fattier cuts of meat. Drizzle olive oil over your food. Truly, there are plenty of options other than avocado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
