SierraHaley Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My boyfriend and I started the Whole30 on January 2. This is my second round and his first! We have been eating about three eggs a day- two for breakfast and one hard boiled egg for snack or with lunch. Is this too many? Also, sweet potatoes were my favorite thing to eat during my last Whole30. I ate them about every other day. I lost about 7 pounds during my last round, which I was happy with. I would like to lose about 10 pounds this round and I am hoping cutting back on sweet potatoes will help. How many is too many? I was thinking one a week would be a good limit. I know weight loss is not the goal, but I am using this program to help me change my negative yo-yo dieting and put me on track for steady, consistent healthy eating. I still need the motivation though from the scale (which I will only use on day 30, not throughout). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Your egg quantity is fine, and you could eat 1-2 sweet potatoes a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublinkim Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Get your head out of the "no carb" mentality with the sweet potatoes. I have sweet potatoes every single week and not just because they are compliant - because they are satisfying and versatile and tasty and so good for you. So if you lose 7 pounds again instead of 10 pounds - those 3 pounds will be WORTH it because the sweet potatoes will keep you so much happier than only veggies and meat.
