Jackie's First Whole30

Recommended Posts

Day 1!  I was at Girl Scout camp over the weekend so had a lot of starchy carbs...hope that doesn't bite me in the butt in a few days!

 

Breakfast: 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites scrambled (organic eggs).  Organic, unsweetened applesauce with organic strawberries.  Small handful of cashews

 

Snack: about 3 hours after breakfast, stomach was rumbling but I couldn't take lunch yet at work.  Had another small handful of cashews

 

Lunch: pot roast (that hubby lovingly made for me while I was at camp, taking special care to find a Whole30 recipe!), a couple of skillet sweet potato chunks (still learning to like them...), banana and more cashews.  Sorry, got cashews this weekend...

 

Dinner: hoping for a chicken breast over my very large salad of spring mix.  Will add some guacamole and salsa.

good job so far!  only issue I see is no vegetables at breakfast or lunch.   I would ditch the applesauce and scramble lots of veggies with your eggs.  also eat a large spring mix with your pot roast.

 

it takes some tweaking but it gets easy, i promise!

I like to scramble my eggs into sauteed kale or spinach. In bacon fat or ghee is lovely. Also I would eat the whole eggs for all 4 eggs. Yum!

 

What veggies do you know you like? You could look up frittata and quiche (crustless) recipes for other ideas.

 

I came into this lifestyle veggie hesitant as well. Treat yourself like you would a child and make yourself try at least one new veggie a week. Try it multiple times.

 

You will be amazed by how quickly your taste buds start transforming!

Eating sweet fruit like applesauce and strawberries at breakfast can prompt faster hunger pangs. I don't know why, but it is one of those anecdotal things that has come up a number of times.

 

I like spinach and tomatoes with eggs and my favorite is cold sauerkraut because I like to eat something fermented every day.

I'd also eat all eggs whole - dont throw away your organic yolks!!!

I love mushroom and leek in omelettes, with thyme. Also capsicum and tomato. I usually put handfuls of spinach in the middle as well..... Then serve with more vegies on the side (usually grilled zucchini, sautéed cabbage and/or steamed greens)

Day 2:

#1 - 3 whole eggs fried in ghee, applesauce with cinnamon (working on the fruit...I think!); better to just have all protein and no fruit if I can't stomach veggies in the morning?

 

#2 - Applegate turkey, green apple, hard boiled egg

 

snack (pre WO) - LaraBar (had the PB cookie one...just realized I am not supposed to have peanuts, start over??)

 

#3 (post WO) - spring greens with strawberries, raspberries, chicken breast with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing

 

I felt better yesterday - think I had some kind of bug Monday with my head killing me and my stomach not happy at all (started early in the morning though before I even started eating food).  No headache yesterday and stomach still a little off but OK.  Was able to handle eating better.
