NewStart2014 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just wondering, if you've been off sugar for 38 days and it's not killing you to do so, do you even bother to reintroduce it? I'm torn on this one? Would it be like an ex-smoker trying to have a smoke now and then? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael2288 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 If you have a sugar dragon, then I would definitely recommend not adding it back in. If you don't have an issue with sugar then try adding it back in a way that isn't tied to dairy, gluten, legumes, etc. Today is my day 38 and I just had my first square of dark chocolate, it was delicious and I am not craving more so we will see how the rest of the day goes!

Keri W. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I've posted often regarding the sugar dragon. For me, it is very much like how you described an ex-smoker. I even have to be careful of fruit. There is a lot of interesting information regarding this. Search YouTube for Dr. Lustig's Sugar: The Bitter Truth or the entire series on sugar. Both are excellent and great sources of motivation to stay away from sugar. Best wishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm om my second week of Whole30 and having a great time... enjoying what I'm eating and trying so many of these wonderful recipes. When my 30 is up I do plan on adding just a titch of organic honey to an asian salad dressing recipe and a korean style short ribs recipe. The hardest thing for me was giving up is my beloved diet pepsi... but I'm doing fine with it and don't plan on going back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeninOr Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I eat gluten free and dairy free already, so I think for my third re-intro food it is going to be sugar. Legumes, gluten free grains and sugar. We'll see how it goes. I'm on day 27 right now and REALLY looking forward to the gluten free grains and sugar re-intro. I miss eating my own baking!
