Divaliciouschef Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Day 1 on whole 30 Okay so I've been paleo about 2 weeks and realized I was consuming to many nuts and too much fruit and wanted something more structure and strict and found whole 30. I am happy to start and hopefully see the results I am looking for.. Weight loss and reduce back acne. Day 1: today is a long day because I have grad school at night and get home about 8-830 and usually don't get to bed until 11-12pm M1: 2 eggs, 1/2 avocado,spinach,tomatoes hot sauce and 1/2 banana M2: hummus,cucumbers tomatoes and 3 slices turkey breast M3: spagetti squash with home made meat sauce M4: salad with chicken sausage,olives,cucc,tomatoes and balsamic this meal is at 5:00pm before I leave for class. M5: chicken breast and salad Any suggestions or tips , greatly appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I would try increasing the portion sizes, but reducing the number of meals - for really long days, try 4 meals but make them substantial. you want to finish eating at least a couple of hours before you go to bed and your meals should be spaced 4-5 hours apart. A serve of eggs is as many as you can hold - you'll likely find that's 3-4 - and increasing your breakfast will probably help you feel more satisfied throughout the day. have 2-3 cups of vegies per meal, and fat portions as per the meal template. every meal should fit the template - meal 3 and 5 sound like they were low in fat. in the first few days you may want to aim for the upper limit of the template to avoid feeling hungry, until you work out how much food you need. http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf (just checking that your hummus was compliant - not traditional hummus made with chickpeas? also check your turkey, and balsamic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divaliciouschef Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hi, thanks for your great tips!! I did the egg holding thing and In one hand I was able to hold 2 but I do think adding another could help or try sweet potato hash I see a lot of people make. Balsamic is good and so is hummus I made it with cauliflower. Your right about the fat, but I didn't want to go fat overboard, in the book it said if u have to have a snack go for protein and veg so that's what I tried to do.

On page 187 of ISWF it says, "Make sure your snacks are just smaller meals and include both protein and fat." Did you find another part of the book that describes a snack differently? Not trying to be confrontational: just genuinely curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
