Anyone for a group start in the next week? Repeat offender headed for Rehab. ;)
BeginnersMind replied to C_Cezeaux's topic in Join the Whole30
How is everyone doing? I am on Day 24 today, and have been experiencing some intense cravings. I attribute it to eating a medjool date with almond butter as a snack to hold me over last Wednesday. Since then, I've been craving dried fruit and fruits. I've been giving into the cravings, which has been disappointing at times, since I know the dangers of fruit, etc....but I'm finding it very challenging to battle these cravings. It seems that if I allow myself any fruit or dried fruit, my mind/body just want more, more more! This makes me really nervous about reintroduction and wondering whether or not the elimination process of Whole30 can produce these types of cravings? Any recommendations? -

That is so frustrating, particularly when you feel like you had some good momentum going - I remember attempting the W30 a few months back and was foiled but a different event, and felt pretty bummed....and eventually got around to thinking that I at least built up my W30 muscle (like with any practice) and got through (arguably) the toughest days of the W30, which is often the first half... So holding the dialectical approach - it sucks...AND you just spent a solid 16-17 days giving a the great gift of nourishment and care to your body! -

I'm new too! Today is...day 11 for me...so I don't have too much wisdom to offer .....but I do have support to offer! One thing that has helped me remain excited is to try a new vegetable or dish 1x/week (or more for bonus!) For example, I tried radishes for the first time last week and tonight I'm meal prepping eggplant "steaks". I've found that investing some time and getting excited about researching fun recipes has kept me engaged! Looking forward to following you on your journey!

Tonight is Day 9 for me, and I notice that if I have a meal that isn't "hearty" enough or I don't make it look nice on a plate and sit down like a real human to have a meal (vs. eating while checking email or watching tv), I have cravings to keep snack snack snacking after the "meal" is done - usually going after things like raisins and nuts. Has that happened for anyone? I still feel slightly fatigued, not sure if that's normal for Day 9 - was trying to map it on to the timeline...and am starting to dream more of the foods I'm missing -

Haha yes!! Here's some more off the Seasons Brand website.... And....an image of my favorite! I'll take a picture of the salad I usually prep later today! -
I love giant salads, and I find myself craving them more now...I am a HUGE fan of canned wild caught sardines (I am waiting for the next Costco deal that they run on the Season Brand Wild Caught Sardines). Sardines are arguably one of the world's healthiest and nutrient dense food sources. I just love them. Fortunately for me I can get by the smell (although I tend to avoid bringing them to work to spare my co-workers). But several handfuls of salad greens topped with sardines, salt, pepper, balsamic, avocado, and olive oil just hits the spot!!! And it takes under 1 minute to prepare....what REALLY takes it over the top is adding citrus - today I did lemon juice and slices of grapefruit topped with some paprika and cayenne for heat. I know...the flavor combo sounds odd...but don't knock it until you've tried it!!! Comment back here if you're a sardine lover!!! Sardines unite!

In the event you change your mind, I am a big fan of the TJ's Deli Style Spicy Brown Mustard! Ingredients include: Distilled vinegar, water, mustard seed, salt, spices, tumeric (spice and color). And as far as the weddings, summer is such a hard time because of all the fun events!!! No shame in prioritizing your health for you if that's the right decision, just as you would stick to a promise or commitment to a friend - but I also understand wanting to be present and not worrying about compliant foods in the moment! I bet if you planned ahead since it's 2 weeks away you'd be able to find a work around! Alternatively, could be awesome to have 2 weeks of whole30 eating as well, that never hurts!

BeginnersMind replied to JorgePtech's topic in Join the Whole30
Haha. This is the exact reason why I have been slipping on my health journey! It's those darn nuts and nut butters - I mean, honestly, who can actually just eat one spoonful of almond butter????? -

@CHING would love to join you on your journey! We'll be a few days off since 6/16 is Day 5 for me, but I am looking to grow my online support system in this process! It's my first reset!
