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?
