Real Food Y'all Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Day 3M1Two fried eggsCoffee with CMM2Leftover stir fryCup of green ginger tea while at work (also had this yesterday, forgot to mention)M3Pork carnitas with baby spinach, guacamole, pico de gallo, cauliflower rice, sauteed mushrooms Ate a couple bites of apple my 2yo didn't finish before bed. (I'm trying to limit fruit bc my sugar demons are INTENSE.)Mild headache throughout some of the day. Pretty sleepy all day, but will attribute that to the fact that I drank half caff coffee instead of my usual regular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msssjenna Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 HI Amanda! Your headache might be attributed to no veggies at breakfast, or no starchy carbs either. I remember during my first Whole30, I would have terrible headaches by mid-afternoon, and that was resolved with eating half a sweet potato for breakfast, and then again for lunch.

Real Food Y'all Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Day 4: Was kind of lightheaded and dizzy this morning, especially in the shower. Felt better after breakfast but still weak, ate a spoonful of coconut oil in case I need more fat. (I gagged a lot.) Also have a slight sore throat this morning. Breakfast was some scrambled eggs, a bit of butternut squash soup, and my usual coffee. (No half caff this time) Also ate half a banana.Something strange happened this morning when I got to work. I said good morning to people before they said it first! I'm very introverted and usually dread any form of small talk, especially at work, so this is big. Little bit of upset tummy this morning at work, but nothing major. Drank a stronger roast of coffee than I have the past few days, so maybe it's that, plus switching back to full caff. Will update with the rest of the meals after I've eaten. Wanted to make sure I didn't forget these symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Food Y'all Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 M2 Leftover carnitas with guacamole, etc. (See above) M3 Baby spinach salad with salmon and rw vinaigrette, almonds, one apple Sore throat stuck around, hope I'm not getting sick. Anytime outside having eaten a couple of hours ago or so, I feel like I'm STARVING. Ready for that phase to pass. Around this point in my first w30, I felt like my stomach was shrinking, like all my insides were compacted. Not feeling such a sensation yet this go around.

Real Food Y'all Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Day 5: Feeling much better today! Sore throat is even gone. I woke up hungry, but not dizzy-and-about-pass-out hungry. M1: Two fried eggs in a bowl of butternut squash soup. (Much yummier when mixed together instead of eaten side by side!) Coffee/CM as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Food Y'all Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 M2 Leftover pork with guac, etc. (see above) except minus the cauli rice (no tea today) M3 Ground pork sausage (homemade) with steamed broccoli and a baked sweet potato. Everything got doused with a little coconut oil, pepper, & garlic. A dash of "mighty mineral vinegar" on the tater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Food Y'all Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Had a cup of bone broth with some coconut milk & curry powder before bed last night. Trying to ward off a cold. Feeling pretty good today, slight sniffly nose, but not bad. Day 6 M1 Leftover broccoli & sausage, with a fried egg Coffee w/ CM M2 (haven't eaten it yet but will, already packed) Leftover pork with guac, etc. (with cauli rice this time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Food Y'all Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Day 7 M1: Scrambled eggs with steamed broccoli Coffee w/ CM M2: Leftover steak with broccoli. (I like broccoli) M3: Ate out at Buffalo Wild Wings with the family (and resisted the call of beer pitchers and Asian Zing!) Traditional "naked" wings Side salad sans dressing, cheese, or croutons I brought along my own homemade vinaigrette and wing sauce I made with ghee and Louisiana hot sauce (compliant). It felt like cheating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Food Y'all Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Day 8 M1: Scrambled eggs Coffee w/ CM M3: Salad with salmon, vinaigrette, & almonds M4: Got out the spiral slicer I got for Christmas and made zucchini noodles! Ate them with a simplified variation I made of Well Fed 2's Old School Italian Meat Sauce. YUM! This W30 feels very different from my first. Last W30, weight started falling off of me almost immediately, but now I really don't feel much different (except for not stuffing my face with chocolate every night, which is great!)

Real Food Y'all Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Day 9 M1: 2 veggie egg muffins (veggies used: kale, broccoli, red pepper, onion, mushrooms) Half a banana Coffee w/ CM Making the egg muffins was a DISASTER. How do you keep them from sticking? & don't say coconut oil, I slathered the muffin pan with it. I have a mild headache. Have had a few mild cold symptoms the past few days. Also still really sore from an intense "beginner's" yoga class Sat morning. M2 will be: Salad w/ vinaigrette, almonds, grilled chicken thigh Cup of ginger green tea at work late afternoon. M3: 2 small pieces of grilled chicken bowl of carrot ginger soup Headache stuck around all day (Monday). Noticed today that I have had a headache every Monday for the past few weeks or so now. Maybe I get used to NOT looking at a computer all weekend, then get back to it on Monday and my eyes have to adjust all over again? But I've worked on a computer 8 hours a day for 8 years so I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little handful of unsweetened coconut flakes... just got them from the natural grocer (far away) and had to taste I resisted a very strong urge to reward myself with a banana tonight.

Make sure you're getting 1-3 cups of vegetables at every meal - looks like breakfast missed veggies.Also, from a few days ago, a pre workout snack should be protein and optional fat. No fruit. Save your 1-2 daily servings of fruit to enjoy with or immediately after your main meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
