graybird Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 My husband and I have started Whole30 eating a few days ago, but I am marking today as our official start date because I wanted it to start on a first. I am doing this to help with my sugar addiction and lose weight. Today's meal log: Meal 1: Scrambled eggs mess which included: 2.5 eggs, smoked sausage meat, green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms with .5 a banana. Meal 2: Giant Salad which included: green lettuce, green bell pepper, celery, .5 a tomato, one large mushroom, tomato/homemade mayo dressing and tuna salad. The tuna salad had avocado, eggs, celery, onions, and homemade mayo. I also had a peach. Meal 3: Pork chops, 1/2 a sweet potato, braised cabbage with bacon. My official weigh-in this morning was 250. When I first started eating this way a few days ago I was at 254, so I've lost 4 lbs. My body is definitely not used to eating this way and the Sugar Beast has been trying to get me to eat sugary things, but I have said nay! *I did have a cup of coffee today with some flavored creamer. I don't normally drink coffee, so I won't drink it again since I can't drink it black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Your meals sound yummy!! We also did a few days of whole30 eating before we officially started - it helped work out portion sizes so we could get through without needing snacks. I don't really like black coffee either - I like adding coconut butter or oil and whizzing in the blender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I figured I'd be drinking my coffee black (not a fan), but remembered a few days ago that I could use coconut milk. I did miss the having sugar in my coffee this morning, but the coconut milk is every bit as good as the organic half and half I usually use with regard to cutting the bitterness of the coffee. I also added some cinnamon. I didn't enjoy it as exquisitely as when it's heavily sweetened, but I did enjoy it! (edited to add: Of course, as you're not a regular coffee drinker, this is perhaps not terribly important. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It's funny - I've been fine with unsweetened, but smelt someone's milky, sugary tea at work the other day and it smelt unusually nice! I'm considering making proper chai with nut milk or coconut milk because of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graybird Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Day 2: M1: nada, because we woke up late (day off) and it was already almost lunchtime, plus I wasn't hungry. M2: eggs, bacon, and sweet potatoes. I ran out of meat, so I had to settle for bacon today. I will make sure I am properly stocked on my groceries next time. Snack in between M2 and M3: handful of raw cashews and blueberries and sparkling water Went grocery shopping and bought a steak and some hamburger for tomorrow. M3: Steak and Giant Salad (green lettuce, celery, mushroom, grilled onions, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes) to make up for lack of veggies today. They were both really good. Later I had a Lara bar when I went grocery shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graybird Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Day 3: Meal 1: Primal Breakfast Casserole and a fried egg plus a sip of coffee with creamer (but didn't drink anymore than that). Meal 2: Two hamburger patties, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, fried egg, grilled onions Meal 3: Chopped Chicken Cobb with Avocado salad from Panera without the cheese I am getting really full from what I'm eating. I wasn't really hungry by lunchtime since breakfast filled me up, and I am working today so I had to eat lunch at that time. We are meeting our Bible study group at Panera, normally I'd avoid that place like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
