PaleoMN Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Gilligan, The soup is easy to make. I make a big batch on the weekend for easy lunches during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm on day #2 also, and had a little headache on and off all day. I'm thinking it's caffeine withdrawal, but maybe it's sugar/dairy/grains/alcohol/beans/legume/nasty chemicals withdrawal! (Since I can't have cream in my coffee, I'm switching to a non-caffeine tea, which I am actually really enjoying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoMN Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ann, I've been surprised by the headaches. Hang in there, it's great to be getting rid of stuff that makes my body feel this way! Day 3 and no headache so hoping that's behind me - and you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been keeping up with an exercise plan lately. And need to make sure I get veggies with dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoMN Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 It just got hard! I feel like I've been sailing through rather painlessly. Day 10, afternoon and I have MAJOR cravings. I feel hungry, but I don't think it's physical. I've eaten a good amount of fats and even a little more than usual so far today. I've been drinking more in case I'm just thirsty. Hour three of cravings and I'm sticking touch to the Whole 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
