Liz Powell Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I was making my eggs this morning and wanted to put some different spices in so I put in a pinch of my Hawaiian Chili Salt before reading the ingredients. I ate my breakfast and was curious so I checked . . . it has sugar listed in the ingredients. Does this mean I have to start over? Today is day 14. Lesson learned - read ingredients BEFORE adding to food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea D. Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Ugh...I hate that for you... Do you have sugar cravings? For me, sugar was a serious issue so I probably would have started over since even a tiny amount of sugar might have started my cravings...everyone is different so you may be able to just push thru, I can't imagine it was a huge amount anyway if you were just seasoning eggs.

Liz Powell Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I haven't had many sugar cravings for the past few days and I haven't noticed any yet since this morning. I think I used 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of the salt so it would've been a very very small amount of sugar. I think I'll push through and if I'm still having sugar cravings at the end of my original 30 days I'll extend it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Liz - Good lesson learned, huh? At this point, I think you're fine to continue on. The Whole30 isn't about perfection, it's about awareness and I think you've gained a bit of that through this experience :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Roy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thank you Robin! "The Whole30 isn't about perfection, it's about awareness". That's exactly what people need to know! We went out to dinner last night, and while I made sure I asked about EVERYTHING I ordered, I'm still not 100% confident that there may have been something that's not recommended...but, I felt fine this morning, so I'm forging on!
