Thomas Vildmand Bendtsen Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi there Live in the nordic countries where we eat the diary product 'SKYR' - it's from Iceland. It contains almost no fat but 11% protein. Just ate a mid afternoon snack consisting of 'SKYR' and some almonds - guess I have to start over or what? Just saw your rules with the no dairy at all.

kb0426 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I should wait and let a moderator chime in, but I believe the milk proteins in the product would constitute a restart. You are correct in that no dairy means no dairy in any form, including sheep or goat milk dairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melody Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thomas, dairy isn't off limits because of its fat content. It's off limits because for one, it creates an inflammatory reaction for many people. If you're doing your Whole30 on the vegetarian plan, you might be okay since SKRY seems similar to Greek yogurt--which is allowed on the vegetarian meal plan and I'd wait to see what a mod says to that. But if you're doing a regular Whole30 it's not allow and a either starting over or adding extra days on at the end is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi, we don't get Skyr here but I gather it's a cultured milk dish very similar to yoghurt. The protein in it comes from the milk proteins so I'm afraid it is a no go on a W30. I always feel if you're doing a W30 you deserve to have 30 full clean days so I reckon the best thing would be to add those days on at the end if that's possible. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Vildmand Bendtsen Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ok, thx. Thankfully I'm only 2,5 days in my Whole30. And yes, it's a lot like Greek yogurt, but has more protein. I'm reading a lot paleo stuff these days, but did not get to 'what not to eat the first 30 days' Used to live after the 'Zone' principles where you actually can eat everything......so this gonna be a fun ride.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 3, 2013 It helps to read through the official Whole30 guidelines several times... http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/5-the-official-whole30%C2%AE-program/ It took several read throughs for the information to sink in for me, but once it does, you can see that they answer every important question and most minor questions too.

Kirsteen Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi Thomas, I don't know if you've read the book 'It Starts With Food', it really clearly lays everything out and the science reasons behind it all. If you here http://whole9life.com/itstartswithfood/ and scroll down there's a whole bunch of free downloads including the quickstart guide, meal template etc which should keep you right. Good luck and keep us posted how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thomas-- Look at Whole 30 as a paleo's paleo--this is to help you really get clean, reset your relationship with food and then you can add back in as you see fit during your re-introduction, paying attention to how you feel. General Paleo, and Primal in particular, can be much more forgiving when eating dairy. There are those who are strict Paleo don't eat dairy at all, to those who do and Primal is fine with yogurt, cheese and cream, with in reason. It is really only just for 30 days! You can do it!

Thomas Vildmand Bendtsen Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Totally fine Kirsteen But you know, I just found the whole9life.com by chance and bought the idea instantly. But the book takes a bit longer to read than first estimated....but I'ii chew it one of these days. Thanks for your support - I'll go on and 'flush out my system' with real food.

Kirsteen Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thomas, I absolutely love your enthusiasm. The link Tom gave will put it all in a nutshell. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 A clean Whole30 gave me a whole new "normal", it's really worth sticking to the rules for 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
