lindsayhilleary Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Today was day 1 of my Whole30. Breakfast: Black coffee, 2 eggs fried in coconut oil Lunch: Huge salad with mixed greens, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, lump crab meat, balsamic and evoo Snack: Olives Dinner: Bison burger patty, 1/2 avocado, yellow beets and carrots roasted in coconut oil I was hungry before lunch because breakfast was definitely too small. Going grocery shopping tomorrow so that shouldn't be a problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayhilleary Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Day 2 Breakfast has been tough for me. Today I had coffee with coconut milk and 3 eggs fried in coconut oil. I know I need to add more to my breakfast but I'm still figuring it out. Lunch and Dinner were both sashimi. I had a weird work day today so I had a few snacks instead of large meals. Snacks included 1/8 cup of mixed nuts and seeds, Thunderbird Energetica Bar (similar to Lara bar), tomatoes and yellow beets. Plus lots of water and some green tea. I felt queasy for a lot of the day. I think I may be getting hungry. Tomorrow will be more of a normal schedule, so it should be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 You need to eat vegetables with your breakfast. That will help a lot. Be careful with those Thunderbird bars because most of them have grains in the ingredient list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayhilleary Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Day 3, my 30th Birthday Breakfast: Coffee with coconut milk, 2 eggs fried in coconut oil, guacamole Lunch: Black coffee, pulled pork, arugula, 1 fried egg, 1/2 avocado Snack: 7 blackberries with coconut milk Dinner: Crab, avocado and pico de gallo appetizer split with husband; "Paleo Shrimp served with spaghetti squash noodles and sautéed shrimp in a spicy coconut sesame curry" (Both at a Paleo friendly restaurant) Just a little queasiness in the morning today. Got much better throughout the day. Felt very satisfied. I miss dairy though. I keep thinking about mozzarella balls and glasses of whole milk.

Be careful with those Thunderbird bars because most of them have grains in the ingredient list. Thanks! Yes, I've been bad about getting more in with breakfast. I made sure I had one of the acceptable Thunderbird bars (Cashew Fig Carrot... I think it's the only one without grains. Thankfully it's my favorite one!)

amberino21 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 You don't seem to be eating many (any?) starchy carbs - sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot (also nice grated raw in salad), carrots etc! That could be contributing towards the nausea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be contributing towards the nausea? I've had spaghetti squash a couple of times as well as cauliflower, carrots and beets here and there. I'll try upping my intake of starchy veggies though and see if that helps. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabel Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hopefully you've got your nausea sorted out. I love my morning salads. Otherwise I find I do well with mushrooms and tomatoes (think traditional English breakfast) Or leafy greens like kale. Sweet potato is another good choice for breakfast. I've also made hashbrown-type things with both sweet potato and rutabaga. Have you checked to make sure the wasabi you've been using is compliant?

Just tiny spurts here and there instead of lasting most of the day. I'll try the breakfasts you suggested. Sounds tasty! The wasabi is compliant, thank goodness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayhilleary Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Day 6 Today I was at a pool party/BBQ most of the day. I took some food with me (watermelon, guac, carrots, celery) and had a plain burger for dinner. The hardest part was saying no to the delicious looking desserts, but luckily there were plain berries out as well. Drank a ton of sparkling water with lime instead of my usual beer. I consider today a success! Got up too late to eat breakfast. Whoops. Lunch: salmon sashimi with coconut aminos and wasabi, watermelon, guacamole with carrots and celery sticks Dinner: Bunless burger with lettuce and tomato, spaghetti squash, berries, kombucha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsayhilleary Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Day 8 I was not very hungry at all today. I wonder if it's because my day yesterday was so satisfying. Breakfast: Coffee with coconut milk and a few pieces of London broil. Snack: 2 delicious figs (in the grocery store parking lot, they were so perfect I didn't want to wait) Lunch: Whole avocado and tomatoes with garlic and lemon juice; kombucha Dinner: Beef stew, recipe from http://www.paleomg.com/paleo-crockpot-beef-and-mushroom-stew/ ; one egg muffin with zucchini squash and onions, modified from this recipe http://www.primalpalate.com/blog/breakfast-on-the-go-egg-muffins/ Lots of hot tea and sparkling water.

amberino21 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I just had a thought! Are you eating runny yolks? And what are your thoughts on staying away from the things the say pregnant women shouldn't have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayhilleary Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 I just had a thought! Are you eating runny yolks? And what are your thoughts on staying away from the things the say pregnant women shouldn't have? I am eating runny yolks. In all honesty I think America in general is a bit alarmist when it comes to pregnancy. I'm getting my eggs from a farmers market (from the farmer himself) and I'm comfortable with them. I'm also comfortable eating deli meat (that "rule" was put into place over a decade ago due to one listeria outbreak. After that outbreak the USDA and FDA changed all the food handling policies for packing and shipment of lunch meats in the US. There hasn't been a single outbreak since, yet the "rule" still stands. And yet there's no regulation on pregnant women eating cantaloup or spinach - when there have been numerous outbreaks in the past few years due to those two items) I also plan on eating sushi from reputable restaurants. The USDA and FDA mandates flash freezing of all fish used for sushi, which kills any parasites that may be lurking. And Japanese women eat it through their pregnancies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
