Emily T Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Having a very hard time staying close to the board and posting. I don't know why. I guess I'm busy and maybe my heart isn't in at as much. I was doing so well before but I keep messing up and then forgetting to post. Here was my Monday: Breakfast - whole milk grass fed yogurt with cinnamon and apple and cavewoman granola (just nuts and seeds, no grains) Lunch - Chipotle chicken stuffed sweet potato skins (sweet potato, spinach, chicken, chipotle peppers, cheddar cheese - these were UNREAL - make them whole30 compliant by skipping the cheese: http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/healthy-chipotle-chicken-sweet-potato-skins/) Dinner - Mesclun with bacon, cranberries, apples, goat cheese, pecans, red onion, and balsamic dressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily T Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Tuesday 9-17 Breakfast - NONE! I had to get a hydrogen breath test this morning, so I needed to fast. Mid-morning - Baby carrots and Mary's GONE crackers with homemade chipotle hummus (organic chickpeas, tahini, oil, garlic, lemon juice, chipotle peppers) Lunch - Chipotle chicken stuffed sweet potato skins with a big mixed green salad Dinner - Mesclun with bacon, cranberries, goat cheese, pecans, red onion, and balsamic dressing, and a pear and some dark chocolate for dessert Evening - bone broth, probiotic, zinc I'm feeling a LOT better lately - particularly when I stick somewhat close to the plan, and by that I mean avoiding alcohol. I do feel like my gut is making a LOT of progress. I am going to the bathroom far more regularly, though with strain and not more than once a day. I am bloated in the early morning, but it goes away after I drink some water. I get gassy after specific foods - particularly broccoli, cabbage, etc. I have noticed a correlation between fat and gas. I am still trying to decipher the connection. I would like to get the consistent energy levels I had on the whole30. I know I'll need to do a better job in sticking to the template. I also fear I have awoken a sugar dragon in the form of dark chocolate. I eat it every day! (But its sooooo good!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily T Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 I am back, two weeks later and re-committing to a new whole30 with a few modifications. I realized that I am trying to do this moderation thing, and I am failing at it so epicly. I do not know how to do moderation, so I am trying another 30 days on the whole30. I am going to document every meal in here the way I did during the 30. Here are my modifications: ALLOWED Sriracha sauce Canned chipotle peppers (I cannot find any without sugar) Organic chickpeas Quality cheeses (goat cheese, aged cheddar) and butter Bacon cured with sugar (too difficult to find the whole30 compliant kind) NOT ALLOWED All grains - corn, barley, wheat, rye, millet, buckwheat, rice, flax, etc Beans, lentils Soy Milk, yogurt, dairy products excluding cheese and butter Alcohol Added sugars in processed or packaged food (with the exceptions I listed above) I have not yet decided if I am allowed to have SWYPO type foods yet. You know - paleo rice, paleo pizza, paleo pancakes. I typically find most of those things extremely time consuming but I do like the banana pancakes. So here we go - day 1: Breakfast: Aidell's chicken sausage with a mixed green salad and balsamic-oil dressing Feeling a little hungry between breakfast and lunch, but not so bad. I'm trying to get back to the no snacking lifestyle I loved during whole30. Lunch: Sweetgreen salad - mesclun, onion, sweet potato, apples, cucumbers, chicken, bacon, pecans, goat cheese Lunch was really satisfying and delicious. The pecans were sugared though - oops! My bad. I'm already screwing up. I had a really odd stomach pain in the afternoon - like I was bloated and unable to suck it in. Not sure what that is from. Dinner: Chorizo taco salad - chorizo, homemade guac, pico, and a little shredded cheddar on romaine Before bed: coconut oil, zinc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily T Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Woke up feeling bloated and uncomfortable which lessened when I drank some room temp water and did morning pilates. This is very normal for me, no matter what I eat the night before. I believe this indicates overall gut dysbiosis rather than a specific food intolerance. Breakfast: Aidell's chicken sausage sauteed in oil and vinegar with peppers, onions and sweet potatoes; spoonful of coconut oil and probiotic Lunch: Chorizo taco salad - chorizo, homemade guac, pico, and a little shredded cheddar on romaine Dinner: Marinated flank steak (olive oil, coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper), romaine chopped salad with cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers with balsamic-oil dressing Bedtime: Coconut oil, probiotic Seriously craving chocolate/sugar tonight. But I am staying strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily T Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Woke up feeling less bloated than I have the past few days, but now I am rather constipated. Breakfast: Aidell's chicken sausage sauteed in oil and vinegar with peppers, onions and sweet potatoes; spoonful of coconut oil and probiotic and zinc Lunch: Leftover flank steak salad (lettuce, cucumber, red pepper, carrots, balsamic-oil dressing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
