Muz Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'm on day 3 and so far I'm not suffering from any of the symptoms I was expecting. No headaches, no cravings, no fatigue....and I doing this right? I feel like I am eating way too much and today I've been experiencing some blood sugar issues (breaking out into a sweat randomly) along with cotton mouth but other than that...nothing.... Has anyone else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2013 Feeling okay is not evidence that you are doing anything wrong! Some people get through a Whole30 with no suffering at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks, Tom. I should have said experiencing not suffering Are drops in blood sugar normal (a little shaking, sweating etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Muz can you list what and how much you are eating? Have you had blood sugar issues in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 I will admit that my planning before starting wasn't great so I didn't get my all my veggies in on day one and I only got 2 meals yesterday (I was tired and slept rather late) but here's what I've been eating: Day 1: Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled with half a medium steak and onions Lunch: 2 harboiled eggs mixed with mustard and pickles, some melon (I was running errands and remembered that I needed to eat lunch, something totally new for me! so, yeah, it wasn't great) Dinner: Sweet potato hash with 3 eggs onions and red peppers, a small tomato, sliced, and half an avocado (yes....I ate a lot of eggs that day, poor planning) Day 2: Brunch: basically the same as dinner the night before but had an orange Dinner: Chicken breast, coconut creamed spinach and curried, roasted cauliflower and broccoli. Also a small sliced tomato Day 3: Breakfast: pork "burger" patty with shredded apples, curried cauliflower and broccoli, pink grapefruit Lunch: chicken breast and leftover spinach. I'm not great at the prepping aspect of this and haven't been hungry so I'm having to make myself eat and I'm realizing that I'm not getting all the veggies that I should. I only have blood sugar issues when I haven't eaten all day so that's why I think it's weird. I feel like I'm eating a TON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 My red flag is that you said "I only have blood sugar issues when I haven't eaten all day". Bingo and stop that!! Eat all the eggs you want. They are an affordable and healthy proyein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physibeth Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Susan...I think Muz meant in the past she has only had issues when she didn't eat all day. Not sure though. Muz, your meals do not consistently fit the meal template (but I think you know that). I would try a couple of days of simple meals that fit the template and see how you feel. Also you might want to go easy on fruit as that could be causing a spike in blood sugar. If you need some help with planning and prep I would highly recommend getting the cookbook Well Fed and trying to work within a weekly cookup model as Melissa so well sets up for you.

Susan W Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thank you Beth. I did not get that. You do seem light on veggies therefore heavy on fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 can someone give me an example of what I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You said you knew you were light on veggies and you skipped a meal yesterday. That pretty much explains feeling poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks, all. This is going to be hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 When I first started i printed out the meal template http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf stuck it on my fridge door and referred back to it for each meal. It's a good habit to get into. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
