Don’t try to find loopholes or foods that technically follow the rules but not the spirit of the rules. If dairy isn’t allowed, don’t throw in a dairy substitute. If pancakes aren’t allowed, don’t find a bit based pancake to eat instead. If sugar isn’t allowed, don’t use honey instead. There are so many good foods and recipes you can eat while on whole 30. Don’t set yourself up for cheating by looking for loopholes. If it’s too rigid, there are other food plans out there that might work better. Also, this plan is only for 30 days, then you can add other foods back in if you desire and see if they agree with you.
I like what PP said about it not being to lose weight but rather to change your relationship with food.
Yup, making Paleo pancakes is SWYPO—sex with your pants on. It’s still cheating.
