JBear Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'm doing my first Whole30 and today marks Day 16. My main goal with Whole30 is centered around getting to reintroduction so I can see whether certain foods cause bloating or inflammation for me. The main two things I've noticed so far on the program: 1) I've been sleeping more soundly, and 2) my 4x per week runs have felt a little more challenging because of the decrease in easy carbs to burn. But otherwise, no cravings and I haven't felt truly tempted to break. I was feeling pretty excited about getting to Day 16 since I know this is around the time when energy levels are expected to increase. Unfortunately, I feel really upset because I'm worried my Whole30 has been compromised. A few days ago, my best friend gifted me an advent calendar with 24 different times of teas. I'm a big tea drinker and was really excited about it! The brand is Vahdam, which I had never had before. I mostly drink Leaves & Flowers or tea imported from Asia. I drank two cups of tea from the advent calendar today, but when I realized that it was called "Sweet Himalayan Detox Green Tea" I got paranoid. I had honestly assumed that loose leaf teas wouldn't have sugars in them. But after googling the brand, it looks like stevia is one of the listed ingredients. I am so sad and disappointed. Does this mean I have violated the Whole30 program and have to start over? Did two cups of green tea with stevia in it really ruin 16 days of discipline? I would love some advice on what you do in these moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
