CortneyT Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm on Day 1. I expected to feel this way in a couple days but not so soon. Symptoms: Gas Bloat Severe stomach pains (assuming gas) Headache 0 Appetite No energy Exhausted Moody Chills Journal: 8-9am Crossfit Breakfast- 1/2 Sweet Potato & 1 egg Lunch-Apple & Lunabar Snack-Banana Dinner- Sitting here not wanting to eat! Ate Apple & Lunabar slightly before then after lunch. Didn't have an appetite but was scary low on energy. Haven't craved sugar at all. I'm used to drink a Spark (Advocare) at least once a day minimum. Any help, tips, encouragement are greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You are eating far too little. Do you have a copy of the meal template? http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf- You want 1-2 palm sized amounts of protein at each meal, or the number of eggs you can hold in one hand.- You want vegetables at each meal: at least 1-2 cups. - You want fats at each meal: at least 1-2 thumb-sized portions.- Snacks should be a mini-meal including a protein and fat. I don't believe Lunabars are Whole30 compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortneyT Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I had food readily available but the thought of eating anything made me sick. Is this a "normal" feeling? I thought I read in here the Lunabars are? I'll double check the ingredients & post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 No, you might be confusing LUNA bars with Larabars. Larabars (the flavors with compliant ingredients) are only acceptable on a Whole30 in an emergency situation.And no, it's not normal to have all those feelings on day 1. However, what you ate collectively so far doesn't even constitute a single meal. I wonder if you might be coming down with a cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Carmosino Beougher Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You're probably mistaking lunabars for larabars. There are some larabars that are ok, but they're not recommended except for emergencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortneyT Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I am mistaking them. Thank you for pointing that out! I ate a Larabar. Trying to eat dinner now in hopes it helps. I felt fantastic at breakfast but soon after it just seemed to feel like I have the flu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFChris Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Ok - is there some compliant fat in the crockpot?And please please please, eat more food each day over the next 29 days - follow that meal template for every meal. Hope you feel better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortneyT Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 There is Coconut Oil in there :-) Also, at breakfast used some coconut oil. Definitely plan to eat way way more!! Hubby is making some eggs & bacon now. Hope that helps! Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You're welcome - just be sure that bacon is compliant: no sugar or other nasties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillian Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi CortneyT! I'm a healthy 5'5" woman -below is what I typically eat each day. Please notice how every meal has a significant amount of protein, fat and veggies. Breakfast - 2 eggs and lots of chicken sausage with 1/2 sweet potato fried up in some bacon grease, and sometimes some berries Lunch - can of tuna, 2 thumbs of olive oil with lots of shredded carrot, tomatoes, lettuce and vinegar (lots of carrot - I love my root veggies!) with a little bit of fruit dinner - a very nice size chunk of pot roast with carrots, onions, celery and sweet potato or squash. Finish my meal with either some slices of frozen banana or frozen cherries with toasted coconut. Yum! EAT! I would feel terrible and nauseous, too, if I ate as little as what you ate during your first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortneyT Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thank you so much!! Today was 100% better!!! Breakfast-3 slices of bacon, 3 eggs, 1 TBSP almond butter, 1 apple Lunch- 2 talapia fillets with olive oil, asparagus, banana, hand full of black olives Dinner- 2 chicken thighs wrappes in bacon, collars greens, squash.
