Yay! Good for you, you deserve it. I just went to Ulta and picked up some organic, natural makeup to pamper myself. I will probably be going back for a pick me up when I start getting sick of eating this way! ha!

Also, that's crazy that your sugar cravings are gone. I know I'm only on day 4, but in the back of my mind I feel like they will never go away!

Day 18:

Breakfast:

3 eggs scrambled with half avocado and olives

Lunch:

I went to Camden today with my friend who is raw food vegan so she suggested going to a vegan place called inspiral... It's was amazing! Nearly everything I'd dairy, gluten, soya and sugar free. I had a raw butternut squash courgette and mint salad and some coconut aubergine salad... So good even without any meat! Also had a coffee and an orange.

Dinner:

Chicken, salad, almonds, apple

Happy :)

Needless to say she didn't win and the heavins decided to open do we all left hungry and wet!

Had to rush to tescos and grab the best I could!

Day 20

Yeah 2/3 of the way through!

Been struggling a bit today, I felt a bit icky all weekend and I don't know if it has been a bug or is through not eating enough/not eating enough carbs. Anyway I've devoured my food today and after a 4.30am start for work I have had a late Afternoon nap on the sofa and an feeling much better. When I wAs feeling tired and groggy on my two hour commute home it was sooo tempting to look for a sugar boost but I didn't! I have ate a bit too much fruit today as a result but hey it's better than a chocolate bar yeah?

Breakfast:

3 eggs scrambled, apple

Lunch:

Mackerel, salad, olives, 2 nectarines

Dinner:

Roast beef, sweet potato, salad, pickles, pineapple rings

Your "struggling" may be due to not eating enough - your meals don't sound particularly big, and quite a few days there's at least one meal that doesn't fit the template! You need to make sure there's about 2-3 cups of vegies per meal, plus your protein and fat. A serve of eggs should be as many as you can hold.

You also mention working out, but no pre or post workout meals - are you eating these? They are so important! You need the extra food to help your body refuel and recover from your training. PreWO should be fat/protein, and postWO should be a meal sized portion of lean protein with starchy vegie carbs (sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot, carrots etc)

Yeah your right amberino definately not eating enough! I just get a bit carried away with 'dieting' I stead of healthy eating. I was doing a lot better with breakfasts in the beginning but am struggling for time, on the days I work I get up at 4.30 to do a two hour commute and generally just eat what's quick! I leave work at the end of next month for a career break and will have more time to prepare good so that will help. Also pre /post work out I generally eat breakfast before and lunch straight after buy have been know to work out on On a. Empty tummy which I know is not good! X

Day 22

Breakfast:

Shopping day today so had no food and no time to eat.. Boo!

Lunch:

My mum took me out for luch and I was worried I wouldn't be able to eat anything but I had the most gorgeous salmon salad which they made dairy and gluten free!

Dinner:

Stir fried courgettes, red onion, pepper, mushroom and tomatoes topped with sliced pork and two fried egg and sprinkled with chilli salt. Plum and a peach.

Should have ate more today really but been non stop. Going to try and have three hearty meals tomorrow but will be a struggle as I have body pump in the morning, physio for my sons at midday and nurse at 5.30.... Why are appointments always at mealtimes?!

I have already sorted dinner for tomorrow so just need to work out what lunch I can eat on the go!

Day 25

Breakfast:

Late brunch of avocado and olive salad, baked fig and apple

Dinner:

Morrican lamb with courgettes, auberinge, peppers, onions, tomatoes, then berries and banana

Dinner tonight was really delicious!

I have noticed over the past week my fruit consumption has increased and with this I have been feeling a bit bloated so as of tomorrow I'm going to scale back on the fruit to maybe one piece a day.

Starting to think about re introductions now. I think I can cope with wheat forever I really don't miss it! I would like to be able to have a bit of sugar ( the odd. Homemade gluten free brownie!)

And in an ideal world I would like to be able to eat cheese and milk chocolate again. I know that I am intolerant to either dairy or wheat as my ibs has pretty my much disappeared since going on whole 30 but not sure which I am intolerant to. My kids are dairy and soya intolerant so maybe I am too?

Day 30

Breakfast:

2 fried eggs with mushrooms

Lunch:

Tuna and olive salad, nectarine

Dinner:

Tuna sweet potato and coconut fish cakes on stir fried veg, raspberries

Body pump today.

Well I did it !!! My 30 days are over! I'm considering what reintroductions to do now, I think I will reintroduce white potatoes, rice/rice flour and probably sugar if I was to bake. I am more than happy to continue being gluten free and dairy free for now though. I don't even miss my red wine or dark chocolate!

Had a sneaky step on the scales this morning and have lost 9lbs! I'm now done to 138lbs which at 5ft 7 in us about right.

I have said Goodbye to binge eating and goodbye

To sugar cravings and hello to weight loss, clear skin , flat tummy and bags of energy!

Hope everyone else succeeds with their whole 30 xx
