Ann Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think the main reason I'm worried is that I can't give up the old notion that eating fat (esp saturated fat) makes you fat and gives you bad cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. I understand the explanation in ISWF, but I guess it's just very hard to believe something which is so far from the mainstream thinking. But I just can't imagine that a diet which makes you feel this good and healthy could have any kind of negative health impact -- if I'm feeling this good, I MUST be healthier!! \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura B Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 is smoking pot Whole-30?? LOL I was afraid to ask...I have abstained for the most part, but I did imbibe over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm curious what the moderators would say about it. For instance, does marijuana mess with your hormonal response? Seems like it would certainly promote an unhealthy psychological response – we are lighting up (no pun intended) our pleasure and reward centers for a different reason than nature intended. And we're sort of trying to get that pleasure/reward thing to a healthy place, right? I guess I see it as perhaps a post-30 occasional “treat†(but I also wouldn't reset my W30 because of it -- especially at 28 days like where you are Laura, good job!).

Ann Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Day 30!!! Yesterday was Day 30 for me!!!!! I will post my "success story" on that part of the forum, but in a nutshell, I'm down 9.6#, sleeping like a baby most nights, and feel terrific! I plan to stick with a mostly paleo diet from here forward, adding in wine and occasionally dairy and very occasionally a sweet treat. My copy of Well Fed arrived on Monday, and I SO wish I had bought it sooner. There's a whole section about weekly preparation, and how to make super quick "Hot Plate" meals from the items you've already prepped, which would have made my 30 days a little easier. Anyone reading this who is just starting out -- I highly recommend it! Meal 1 2 fried eggs Spinach sauteed in coconut oil 1/2 avocado Meal 2 Leftover Brazilian chicken w/coconut milk (onions, tomatoes, lots of different seasonings) Salad greens with tomato, red onion, radishes, olive oil/balsamic 1/2 avocado Snack Dried pineapple rings (2) Meal 3 Well Fed "Hot Plate" - ground pork, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, and spinach seasoned with Ras el Hanout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks, Lalalana! It's going to feel a little weird not posting my meals on here every day .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Day 31 -- I decided to stay "clean" today and not venture outside the safety of W30 parameters. Probably will wait until next week to do the reintroducing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Jeanne Penrod Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm visiting fam first day today, and been clen. Not sure if I'll reintroduce, kind of scared to. We'll see. I stayed clean except for Stevia. Not sure I like it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
