Check out Nom Nom Paleo and Well Fed for some great recipes. Well Fed also has tips for a weekly cookup so you can get most of the food prepared on one day and then quickly put together plates during the week. Good Luck!

The meal plan download is for The Whole30: The 30‑Day Guide to Total Health and Food Freedom. Enjoy!

Did you find a doctor in San Diego? Mine is in Del Mar The Natural Path, Dr Jeff Mersky.

I created my own and posted it at the top of this forum. You may need to try a different browser to download it. I will also post it on Facebook so you can download it from there. Enjoy!

I tried Chrome and IE and I can't download from either. Hopefully I am the only one with this frustration. Luckily I don't need it because I have the original. LOL

Check out The Clothes Make The Girl blog. She has some amazing whole30 compliant sauces that you can make ahead and have on hand. Enjoy!

You can also add vanilla powder (not vanilla extract) or any other spice that you like: nutmeg, ginger, allspice. Some mixes like Pumpkin Pie Spice may not be compliant so check carefully, Enjoy!

Yes as long as they don't have any non compliant ingredients. Some peppers in a jar have sulphies, wine or sugar. If they are fresh eat away.

This website won't allow you to download the shopping list anymore. Not sure why. If you can tag me on FB or leave a message here I am happy to send you my shopping list. It isn't perfect but it's a good start.

I am not an expert but maybe I can give you another perspective. #1 You mentioned that you are a perfectionist. Maybe this will be good for you to try and let the perfection go during you whole30. It's not about perfection it's about changing your eating habits. Sometimes you eat a large bowl of fruit salad or entire jar of almond butter. It happens. No worries try to do better tomorrow. #2 You have some positive things going on including sleep and exercise so give yourself a break. #3 The more you exercise the hungrier you will be so you may want to cut back on the tough workouts during your whole30. Do yoga, take a dance class, take a walk or take a nap. It's all good. Listen to your body it knows what you need. #4 Food. The goal is 3 meals a day. I can only do 3 meals and a snack. It's all good. Do what works for you. #5 Emotional Eating - This is tough. The whole30 is going to make you face emotions you didn't know you had. It's part of the process. When you detox your body you can also detox your mind. There will be days when you want to Kill All Things and other days when you want to give up. Try to think about why you are doing it and keep going. You can do it. Even if you just try one meal at a time. #6 Water. The recommendation is 1/2 oz of water for every lb of body weight each day. That is a lot of water and can help with cravings. #7 Remember day 10 is the day when most people quit. You got the flow going, maybe you are feeling better and so your brain says "Let's quit" #8 Gluten and Dairy are very addictive. You are probably going through withdrawals like a drug addict. They can be the same. Also your body wants that gluten and dairy so it is going to throw a fit until it gets what it wants. #9 You may need a gentler approach to this style of eating. Maybe cold turkey is too much. Check out Revive by Frank Lipman M.D. I hope you feel better. Good Luck.

I did not include the mayo or sauces however since there are options to use Eggs or Canned Tuna in your Protein salad you should have and extra egg to use to make the mayo. Worst case you will have to go to the store on day 7. Good Luck!

Thanks. I did look at the recipes in the whole30 book, wrote down the ingredients for each and then added them up. Feel free to do you own and upload it. I am sure people would love to have a choice because I know mine is not perfect.

I posted one here if you want to use it. http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/30554-download-a-7-day-shopping-list-for-the-new-whole30-book/#entry330191

If you are looking for a 7 day meal planning shopping list I have created one in this post above. It is not official. Enjoy!

I get them from my natural path and they always ask me if I will be near a refrigerator within an hour. If not they will give me an ice pack. I would return them. You might want to order them from a natural path if possible or maybe call the company directly and see if you can order from them.
