JordanC Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hello all, I'm starting tomorrow! I just returned from London for a month and ate junk after being Paleo. I'm doing the Whole30 to kind of reset my mind. I need to forget how good ice cream is. I took my before measurements today and tomorrow, will get the final weight for the next 30 days. I'm about to head to the store and go shopping for meat and vegetables! Anyone else starting tomorrow post here too! Good luck all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanC Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Pre-Crossfit: Banana Breakfast/Post-Crossfit: Two egg whites, one yolk and ground beef. Apple Lunch: Turkey patty in lettuce and sweet potato chips Dinner: Chicken and zucchini kebabs and cilantro lime cauliflowerice I threw in fruit in between each meal to keep the headache at bay, but it wasn't a bad day. I think I'll increase meal sizes tomorrow, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Jordan, A few suggestions - PreWO should be fat and protein - HB eggs are perfect! Carbs are kept for postWO with protein, and starchy vegies are recommended, not fruit. Your meals are tiny! None really fit the template - A serve of eggs is at least as many eggs as you can hold in your hand, including yolks. 1-2 palm sized portions of meat. Aim for 1-2 cups of vegies at each meal - your breakfast had none! Fat is also important, follow the guidelines on the template. This will help keep you feeling satisfied for longer - don't be afraid of it! If you stick to the template you shouldn't need to a snack - if you do, go for a mini meal of protein/fat/vegies over fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already a struggle to eat one yolk, but if I increase the whites, I should be able to up it as well. I just don't like them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 You don't have to have eggs!! Have something else....like dinner leftovers There are so many options, life is too short to eat things you don't like. If you do want eggs, and are taking out the yolks, don't forget to add some fat in another way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanC Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I love my eggs for breakfast! Tomorrow, I'll have compliant bacon, so that'll get added in too, plus we use coconut oil for a lot. So far, I haven't found and dinner recipes that are good enough for a second try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ohhhh!!! I've been loving our dinners (and sometimes lunches...) It's cold here, so I've been doing big cook ups on the weekend of osso bucco, lamb curries (made my first rogan josh from scratch!), kangaroo bolognese sauce, Thai chicken and vegie curries etc....all good with zucchini noodles or cauli mash or steamed/roasted vegies that we prepare fresh.

JordanC Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Lucky! It's been in the 100s all week. I wish I could get kangaroo here! I had it all the time when I was in London last month. I'm going out of town tonight, but tomorrow am going to cook a pork roast that'll last a few days. I'll probably cook more turkey patties too. Since I've done Paleo a while, I don't feel like I'm experimenting with new foods, but just eating the same old stuff minus paleo-fied stuff.

JordanC Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm leaving town and eating at a Paleo restaurant in Dallas tonight. I'll post the first meals of today and tomorrow will put what dinner was. Day 2: Pre-WOD: Banana Breakfast: Hamburger eggs 3 whites 2 yolks, carrots (I know tomorrow to flip flop those. I got that message when it was too late.) Lunch: Turkey patty in lettuce, sweet potato, watermelon I'm trying to make my meals bigger, but it's hard for me. I'm used to the mini meals several times a day, so eating a big meal is strange. I think by the end of the week I'll be used to it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
