eatspinraverepeat Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I have not consumed too much olive oil so far in my W30 (R1D13). Last night I made "The Best Chicken You Will..." (http://meljoulwan.com/2009/06/09/the-best-chicken-you-will-ever-eat-ever/) and made the Moroccan dipping sauce to go with it. Making the sauce was the most olive oil (1/3 cup) I have used in a recipe for my entire W30! The chicken was good and I served it cut up over zoodles and pour about 3 Tbsp of the sauce over everything. The thing is, about 2-2.5 hours later, I could feel the grease on my skin building up. I always noticed that I was extra greasy after eating italian food, but attributed it to the high carbohydrate pasta, and occasionally in the past I thought I got a bit oilier after consuming olive oil. Does anyone else experience this? I know olive oil is very healthy and I do not get any additional symptoms other than oiliness and any current pimples feeling a bit inflamed, but I'm wondering if olive oil is a no-go for me. It would be quite strange, because I love olives! I have been consuming ghee and coconut oil as my cooking fats for all of this W30, and before that, I did most cooking with butter or coconut oil. Would appreciate any insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcbn Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I spent my formative years in Greece and actually learned to cook there so I use a lorra lorra olive oil - never had an issue with it. There is such a thing as an olive pollen allergy, but as with most pollens the symptoms tend to be respiratory/itchy skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 12, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 12, 2017 Try making that exact dish again but use a different oil (avocado oil comes to mind) and see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may look into this and consider doing an elimination of olive oil with my next round of W30. Thank you for the insight here. 3 hours ago, SugarcubeOD said: Try making that exact dish again but use a different oil (avocado oil comes to mind) and see what happens... This is a great idea!

Guest Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 In general when I eat greasy food my skin feels greasy afterwards. One of my favorite pre-whole 30 meals was a British fry-up and I'd always get oily a few hours afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
