I am not trying to paint myself as anything. Sorry I used the wrong title in my post. Good grief. Just looking for some suggestions not to be scolded, @ladyshanny.

Hi, I sure hope I get some response to this as I am *only* on Day 2 of W30, but each day done is a victory, amiright? Anywho, you guys: I am probably the most picky person on the planet. Can someone help me with the following: Finding food that make me feel full. This was my menu yesterday: Breakfast: scrambled eggs made w ghee Banana Water Lunch: W30 Compliant Deli Turkey (3 slices) Salad w tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots - NO dressing: as I attempted the W30 Ranch and must've done something wrong Watermelon cubes 3. Dinner: Rosemary Pork Chops w Potatoes & Onions Cucumbers Pineapple I do NOT like, hard boiled eggs, nor do I like nuts/seeds of any sort, almond butter, avocado, coffee. Send help. My snacking consists of a few grapes! Ideas????? I am a mama and have to have ENERGY to go!! Any help/tips/suggestions is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO appreciated!!! Much love!

Me too!!

Hi Everyone! I am beginning Whole30 today, May 7th, 2018! This is my first Whole30 and I am hoping there are others out there who can connect on here as well! I know lots of people started May 1st. Would love to connect with you too! Here's to a great first week (or second for some of you!) Let's keep each other motivated and show love and support! Best, Laura

Thank you! Will def be trying these for sure. Went to Whole Foods yesterday and was able to find ONE (1) deli meat that was compliant! So this will def be a good resource xo

Hi All~ Newbie here. I have read the entire Whole30 book and just bought and read Whole30 Fast & Easy Cookbook. I wanted to come to you all to see if you could give me suggestions for some tasty, easy lunches. I don't want salads everyday. I am really picky (which I realize I will have to overcome during this). I am used to eating sandwich, chips and fruit for lunch everyday. So if you have any suggestions, please let me know! Laura (first Whole30 coming 5/2/18)

@ladyshanny, thank you. I know deli meat is not the best choice. That being said, it is still allowed (dependent on ingredients or lack thereof). I have a horrific diet and am trying to ease my way in to the Whole30 this first time. I thought this OP was a good one and actually found in another thread where Whole Foods has Applegate deli meat that is compliant, so @Rewdstir hope that helps. Of course, make sure to check ingredient list.

Does anyone know of a brand of deli meats that are compliant? Boar's Head is a big brand around here too. Please let this newbie know!!!!!! Thank you!!!

Yes! Agemme, me too! I am starting May 2nd. I have a hubby and two kids similar ages as well. I just bought the Fast & Easy cookbook and the Day by Day tonight at my local bookstore. I just finished the Whole30 book last week. The snacking/take out will prob be my toughest challenge. We can do it though! I think it is wise to be intentional and take the time you need to get the ingredients/ensure kitchen ready before you begin. Let's do it!!!!!!! Best, Laura

Hi Everyone! I have been so apprehensive about starting this. I had read Whole30 a few months ago and have kept making excuses on a start date. Today was feeling like I hit a wall and said: "I've had enough! Time to take my health back into my own hands." I also just listened to Melissa on Jen Hatmaker's podcast she did awhile back and was extremely inspired. I am a super picky eater and love to snack. I have issues with fatigue, chronic pain, inflammation. So I am literally praying that, with God's help, I will do this and find success . I am optimistic. Here is to all the newbies out there! Looking forward to connecting with others to motivate, cheer each other on and share good/not so good. I appreciate all the downloads and info. Take care and much love, Laura
