cbongel Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi, I would like to start Whole 30, but I am allergic to all nuts except peanuts (which are a legume, not a nut). I have had Nutella before, and it doesn't bother me (not sure why), but I have never tried cashew or almond butter. Am I going to be able to do the program without any nuts/nut products?

Kirsteen Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Absolutely. Many people on a W30 without allergies choose not to have nuts because they feel they eat too many. Personally i've never seen the appeal - I don't have nuts because I don't like them. If you look at the meal planning template http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf you'll see it's easy to follow without adding any nuts in. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabel Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 You can also try substituting sunflower seed butter if you were to find a recipe that you were desperate to try but that called for almond butter. A lot people seem talk about eating too many nuts (it's an easy snack food), so you might almost be lucky not being able to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted April 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2013 You'll probably be better off and have greater results without nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbongel Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thank you all for your advice. I just jumped in with both feet - today is Day 1 for me! Now I have to go to the store so I have something to eat for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
