JulesinFl Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 A friend shared the Whole30 with me... Looking to reduce inflammation and be healthier. I have Hashimoto Thyroid condition and have always carried weight In the belly area. Jan. 1 started ramping up workout and now adding Whole 30 to the mix. Started at 150.4 lbs, I am 5'7" and 54 years old. I have modified my eating over the years toward Paleo and rarely drink. The biggest change for me will be eliminating dairy (cheese and Greek yogurt). My husband also has several autoimmune conditions so he is looking to start next week. Day 1: Breakfast: two scrambled eggs with chopped avocado, two cups black coffee Lunch: Ground beef patty (grass fed), sautéed kale with roasted garlic, sliced carrots and sliced pears Snack: ruby Red Grapefruit Dinner: another ground beef patty (didn't feel like cooking again), sautéed kale with roasted garlic, avocado, sliced tomatoes, bing cherries Approx. 90 oz. water for the day Had a headache bordering on a migraine (broke down and took Ibuprofen), tongue tingled in the evening.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2014 Your meals look good. You might consider adding an egg to your breakfast. Two eggs is on the light side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 A couple things I'd tweak:- your breakfast was missing veggies. Be sure to get 1-3 cups of veggies in per meal.- snacks, when needed, should be a mini-meal including a protein and fat. Save your 1-2 servings of daily fruit to enjoy with or immediately after a main meal. A fruit serving is the size of your fist. The need to snack can be an indication to increase your portion sizes at earlier meals. For example, if you had veggies at breakfast along with the additional egg Tom suggested I wonder if you would have been hungry for a snack later?
