Thanks and that's good to hear - I think it's definitely subsided. I've started having sweet potatoes with a plant-based butter alternative and some cinnamon as my dessert over the past week and I've been very happy. Also I know I haven't been posting on here but I have been sticking to the Whole30. I'm at a point where I do it without needing to think or track it.

Thursday June 11th (Continued): I ended up having some snacks yesterday evening Additional snacks: Small antipasto salad (it was so delicious) Homemade baked potato / sweet potato chips with thyme, garlic, and onion powder I've really been craving potatoes of all varieties yesterday...I know baked chip recreations aren't fully in the spirit of Whole30 but ~technically~ I feel like they're not breaking the rules as long as they're enjoyed in moderation.

Thanks! It really is - adding the nuts. almond butter, and almond milk give it a nice texture and balance out the sugars from the fruit to help keep me full for longer. I also sprinkle some cinnamon and nutmeg on it sometimes too.

Lunch: steamed broccoli with beef and a garlic sesame oil and apple cider vinegar sauce and a baked sweet potato with homemade ghee and cinnamon Dinner: grilled pork chops with steamed veggies and a baked sweet potato Snacks: A few slices of chorizo I'm going to try and log throughout the day and add to the post as I go. Also I think my hunger is beginning to stabilize and I'm craving sugar less and less althoug

Tuesday, June 9th (Day 9) Breakfast: poached eggs with avocado and sweet potato hash and homemade ketchup Lunch: roast beef "sandwich" with pepper bun and mustard; leftover sweet potato hash Dinner: turkey burger with broccoli and apple sauce Snack: pineapple and coconut cream turkey cold cuts and chorizo I've been dropping the ball with logging lately - I need to get back into doing it daily! Also despite how difficult it was I did manage not to eat past 8pm on Tuesday and was glad about it in the morning.

Monday, June 8th (Day 8) Breakfast: peach, pineapple blackberries and pecans with a splash of almond milk Lunch: asian tuna salad endive cups Dinner: chicken souvlaki with grilled peppers Dessert: pineapple and coconut cream Snacks: handful of cashews handful of dates spanish chorizo and turkey breast roast beef with sesame oil and apple cider vinegar baked sweet potato

Thanks! essentially what you just said is a form of intermittent fasting. When I did it before I set aside an 8-hour eating window (usually noon to 8pm) during which I would eat, and I wouldn't consume any calories outside that window, and I definitely noticed the benefits. I think I may try that after my second week is complete since I don't want to rush the adjustment.

Sunday, June 7th (Day 7) Brunch: dinosaur egg (baked avocado with egg in the middle) with thick cut bacon Dinner: Antipasto salad (romaine, tomato, balsamic vinaigrette, ham, salami, prosciutto) Snacks: Chia pudding with dates, blackberries and a banana Apple sauce with cinnamon and raisins Pineapple with coconut cream Spiral "fries" with homemade Whole30 Ketchup Soft boiled eggs Thoughts: I think my hunger is beginning to stabilize - I ate a lot this past Saturday and that satiety seems to have carri

I'm hoping that my hunger

Glad to hear it gets normalized! Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't posted the past two days but I've been keeping up with it still!

Day 4: Breakfast: Chia pudding with banana and blueberries Lunch: beef burger with avocado and egg on top Dinner: grilled chicken and sauteed spinach and squash with an almond/sesame oil pesto (amazing) Dessert: Pineapple, applesauce and a few dates Snacks: Small arugala salad with turkey breast Rolled turkey breast with mustard 1/2 pepper "sandwich" with roast beef and mayo stuffed inside Pineapple Thoughts: I've been feeling great on Whole30 so far.

Update on Day 2: I got hungry and had an evening snack: snack: steamed broccoli with roast beef with a homemade dressing (apple cider vinegar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, chili paste) I also realized that the rice vinegar I used previously unfortunately has added sugar so that's getting the boot and I'll be replacing it with apple cider vinegar.
