melbournegirl Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 SUGAR So, interestingly, today is day 41 and I haven't felt the need to rush out and introduce much. It took me a few days to recover from the day36 work dinner ( glass of red wine and probably a bit of soy and nasty oils plus probably some garlic which I react to). I have had some packaged sweet potato chips and kale chips. And a bit extra fruit. Otherwise meals are mainly the same. I want to try chocolate but it feels a dangerous time of year to do that! Anyway Yesterday I decided to cook coconut muffins, the recipe called for some sugar quarter cup for four muffins. I used pure rapidura and had two muffins. Seemed to go okay, didnt trigger cravings, felt a little flat BUT this morning during a class my old neck/shoulder injury inflamed and I havent had any inflammation in the last 40 days and I have done the same class today and run yesterday as the last four weeks so I am blaming the sugar! Also had lots of weird dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 That's interesting. In the month between my two Whole30s I noticed an increase in inflammation too. The funny thing was, the first time I started the Whole30, the inflammation that I thought was just a fact of life disappeared in 24 hours. The second time, it took almost a week for my ankles to stop swelling. So amazing how the body heals and becomes so sensitive to things we didn't notice before.

melbournegirl Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 COCOA Had a cup of cocoa this morning... It's my usual 2 teaspoons of organic raw cocoa with hot water plus a splash of coconut milk that I haven't had for almost two months. Going okay but right on schedule I got the jittery feeling I seem to get two hours after having coffee or tea.... I assume it's from the caffeine.....

melbournegirl Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hmm so I think caffeine/cocoa and I definitely aren't destined to be friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingu Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Good one for listening to yourself Juzbo! Great work. How have you been going with the Whole7? My Xmas was so hard - impossible, even. I was at my sister's and she had planned a Thai feast. You know what that means, every dish was loaded up with sugar. I tried to explain that I couldn't have suger but they did not get it, so in the end I just ate it and didn't make a fuss, and tried not to let it get to me. Anyway hopefully yours went a little more easily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
