Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the suggestions! I will use this week as a learning week, and apply what you both said as I do my grocery shopping this weekend. Just my take away from this: So broaden my veggie choices? Add more of a variety of fruit instead of sticking to one? Yes, I believe my body/hormones is completely out of whack. I am a small person and I have digestive issues, so that somewhat contributes. What would be some good fats to add to each meal? My cravings kick in around my slump time (2-4pm) and are ok once I go to bed. I sit at a desk all day, so it's easy to snack and think about all the things I can't eat. I only snack before I go to the gym, since I am still at work around dinner time.

I am a little confused on what to eat for breakfast. I am usually good for three hours after breakfast. Hashbrowns= one cup Broccoli= one cup I had 10 boneless bites. I typically get full very fast, and have to eat kids sized portions of food. This makes me think that Whole30 may not make sense for me.

Hi! This is my first time doing Whole30 and I started on Feb. 4th! I look forward to connecting with a lot of you as we embark on this journey together! I am always open to new recipes, advice, etc. Feel free to share!

Hello, I am new to Whole30, and I am on day 3. I am a huge planner, so before I started I read the book, planned my meals for the first two weeks, grocery shopped, cleaned out my pantry, etc. I knew this journey was going to be difficult to me because I love sugar and have a sweet tooth. I am already dairy free, and dont consume a lot of gluten either. I know it’s early in the game..but I feel awful. Today I had such an intense migraine that it made me nauseous and unable to eat lunch. I tried forcing it down, but just couldn’t do it (I also don’t believe in forcing food when you don’t have an appetite). I don’t like skipping meals, but it was just not a good day. On top of that, I never feel satisfied..or it could be that I’m so used to having a snack, mainly a sugary one, at a specific time..so maybe my body thinks I’m hunrgy when I’m really not. The past three days have been hard, and I wanted to give up after 3pm on my first day. Any advice out there for newbies? Breakfast: Sweet Potato hash browns (I’m not using these as an impersonation food) Strawberries 2 large eggs water Lunch: Boneless bites (from the Whole30 cookbook) Broccoli with compliant ranch Sweet potato fries (once again,not using this as an impersonation food) Fruit Dinner: Healthy broccoli and steak salad Warm Chipotle Lime Mayo Sweet Potato Salad Snacks: I workout and I am usually still at work for dinner, so I need snacks Handful of almonds Strawberries broccoli Sweet potato cubes My sugar cravings have been so bad! I almost can’t concentrate at work and just want to give up and have a bag of cookies from the vending machine. Does this get better?
