bf855 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 So, I'm a whole30 newb who's treated the whole30 book like the bible these past few weeks and am making sure to comply to every rule wholeheartedly. A friend recommended Trader Joes shredded potatoes, saying they were compliant and really good. I bought them. Today I had a long work day and wanted something quick and tasty. I went for those Trader Joes shredded hashbrown potatoes, not thinking to look at the ingredient list because my friend had already confirmed their compliance. I walked back into the kitchen after eating and thought to check the label - sure enough, potatoes and DEXTROSE are the only listed. I consumed about a cup of the potatoes, but have no idea how much dextrose would be in them. I know the right answer is to start over, and I just may. But I'm curious as to how likely this is to throw me off course. Please give me some good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you what do to here, but if you haven't read this already, take a few minutes to do so: https://whole30.com/2014/06/really-start-whole30/ If it makes you feel mentally better, don't "start over", keep going and just add the days on at the end. Starting back at Day 1 can often feel like a "failure", when really this is not a failure, just a learning moment. You are now aware of how important reading every label is for your own, even if your best friend recommends something. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
