Last night, remember, I bought coconut milk for my n'oatmeal this morning. What's the harm in buying full fat coconut milk, it's all the same, right? Well no!!!! After getting home and looking at my Roland's coconut milk, I realized my mistake, there were so many ingredients in this little can besides coconut and water and the word "preservative" was printed right there on the label! How could I be so silly to not have read my labels while I was in the store!
I got home and looked up "sodium metabisulfite"...who cares what it is, it says sulfite which is a big no no, not just whole30 but in life. It's fake food that is poisoning us!
Well last night after realizing my mistake I said to myself "whatever, it's just 1/3 cup in 1 recipe out of 30 days (about 90-100 meals). Then this morning I woke up at 5:45, jumped out of bed and said "here I am making excuses again, no way!" And I ran to the store and bought Thai Kitchen unsweetened coconut milk! And I feel relieved and guiltless to make meal #1.
So lesson learned today!! Read and understand your labels! And look how many less ingredients there are, and I can pronounce them all!!!!!
*guar gum is derived from a plant and is whole30 approved.
Update march 23: read your labels! Lesson learned, herbal teas have soy lechtin! I am in shock. Who would have thought pomegranate green tea could be harmful to my body! I have only had lemon zinger tea once in the past 6 days so it is nothing to start the program over...honestly, whole30 moderators would disagree, but personally I feel that because I didn't eat it that it has less effect on my gut. And it was before the colonic so it would be removed now. But what a lesson to learn! That will be what I get the most out of this program I think, amazing insight into what I feed my body!
