I'm in my first couple of days and really struggling. I have a limited palate due to taste and texture, so things like salad/lettuce invite a gag reflex. In general, I don't like any greens/healthy things that go on/in salads or sandwiches. The main veggies I like (cooked) are: - Broccoli - Carrots - Green beans - Brussels Sprouts I also have had a large Diet Coke "dependence", and am reading that even seltzer water is SWYPO if you're trying to recreate that Diet Coke vibe due to carbonation. Though, no worries there, seltzer water is not my jam. But I detest black coffee and only like tea when there's some type of milk or sweetener in it. Infused water also isn't enjoyable to me. Neither is regular water, unless I'm actually thirsty. So no matter what I drink, it's just trying to get it down so I'm hydrated. I've tried researching recipes, like Whole30 approved chicken gnocchi, or pulled pork/bbq sauce, or shepherd's pie, but from what I'm reading, all of those could be considered SWYPO because they're recreating a meal I'd enjoy? If that's the case, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to eat. Today I've had one potato (cubed, sautéed with avocado oil and thyme/rosemary - though if this is seen as recreating hash browns than that's SWYPO?), a slice of honeydew, and a cup of unsweetened almond milk. That isn't sustainable. It sounds like you aren't going to enjoy eating on Whole30 unless you're obsessed with veggies. And I'm the type of person that if I don't enjoy what I'm eating, I might as well just not eat. Any helpful advice is appreciated. I'm ready to quit and it's only Day 2.
