LuckyDot 12 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Didn't know where to post this, but I've been seeing this "tiger blood" thing everywhere and can't for the LIFE of me figure out what it is. Someone please please please explain this to me! Link to post Share on other sites

kimmysticks 15 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I couldn't figure it out for awhile either. Thanks for the explanation! I'm on day 15 now, hoping I experience this soon! Link to post Share on other sites

SharynF 426 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Tiger blood eluded me during my Whole50 but I did have more energy than before and noticed that I was doing tasks instead of putting them off. Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyDot 12 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks! I definitely had one day like that. Exactly halfway through my Whole30 now. Hopefully I experience more before the end! Link to post Share on other sites
kaylaa 8 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well I'm still laughing over this term. Of course I'm on day seven and still have kitten blood. I've spent the last few days flat on my back or curled in a ball sleeping my days away. Ha! Link to post Share on other sites
MeadowLily 22642 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 It's real. I don't see it talked about very much anymore. If you experience it, you're in for a real treat. I think too many sugars kill it. Too much dried fruit and snacking. Good fats enhance it and eating quality proteins far above chicken..... You have to eat protein, vege and good fats...3Xaday...every day for 30 days. If you build it, it will come....for you. Link to post Share on other sites
kaylaa 8 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks, I loved the video and it drove my dog wild. I have a standard poodle and she was running all over the house looking for it! Hopefully, I will get this Tiger Blood at some point during my Whole 30, so cool! Link to post Share on other sites
Sueboo41 1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I did a W30 last February and through most of March. I wish I had journaled, because I am not sure when the tiger blood kicked in, but I think it was around my third week. It was fabulous! I had so much energy and was so uplifted. It actually lasted quite a while...through my whole program and even after I started introducing other foods. But it is gone now and I've restarted another W30'in search for it once again. It's motivating to stay on track; being very careful with portions of starchy vegs, fruit, good fats, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoldengrahamgirl 369 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I will endeavour to cut out snacking (with the exception of pre- and post-WO, following suggestions) and minimize fruits & nuts in my template meal in search of the elusive Tiger Blood! Love the reference to "kitten blood." I could go for curling up in a ball around now. Cheers, -Lauren (GGG) Link to post Share on other sites
Kimberly22 25 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I read about the "Tiger Blood" feeling in the book and I am on Day 16 and still have "kitty blood". The first week I ate too many nuts and too much fruit so it may not happen for me. Have tighten it up in the last 8 days and feeling good about it. Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy your kitty blood and know that for some people, that's the extent of what they get. Don't discount what you have for what you might get down the road. Sometimes people get a general sense of...good. Good energy, good mood, good digestion, good overall feelings. Good is good! http://whole30.com/2014/04/tiger-blood/ Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if that is Tiger Blood but I am liking how I am feeling! Link to post Share on other sites
