HeatherH Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 This will be my 2nd attempt. The first time was in July and I made it 20 days. Then I went camping and didn't do a good enough job at meal planning. Now I understand how important a meal plan is! So, today is Day 2 of my 2nd attempt. I am trying to conquer my sugar demon. I make and sell baked goods so I'm always around it. I also have a few smaller issues that I am hoping to see improvement with. Food for day #1 Breakfast: Meat roll-ups, coleslaw with homemade avocado aoili Lunch: Scrambled egg cooked in ghee, roasted sweet potatoes, kale chips Dinner: Chicken curry over cauliflower rice Food for day #2 Breakfast: Bone broth, 2 egg omlette cooked in ghee, ground beef, tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes with ghee Lunch: Roasted chicken, coleslaw with avocado aoili, kale chips Dinner: Turkey meatballs in tomato sauce, spaghetti squash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscilla Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi Heather. Looks like we're both around the same place with the W30. I started yesterday. I like the idea of having some bone broth with breakfast. I made a batch last week and have some in the freezer. What cookbooks do you use? I'm liking the Nom Nom Paleo app and Practical Paleo .

rbeasley1025 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My husband and I started yesterday as well. Trying to get some ideas on what everyone is eating. I am not picky but my husband on the other hand is very finicky on what he eats. I work full time (RN so I do 3 12 hour shifts) with 2 kids at home. 1 just turned 1 over the weekend and I also have an almost 9 month old. Finding things quick and easy will play a big part in our success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherH Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 @Priscilla, I'm more of an internet recipe hunter! I did get Well-Fed from the library (and Well-Fed 2 has been reserved), but I think most of my recipes came from Chowstalker (http://stalkerville.net/site/chow/). @rbeasley1025, I will be posting my daily eats...I'll start adding recipe links too. I am, what my husband would consider, a picky eater. I don't care for too many vegetables, so that is a challenge for me. Veges for breakfast? Yuck! I'm getting a little better though. I had made kale chips about a year ago and didn't like them at all. Decided to try again this week and they are actually yummy (I think I over-baked them the 1st time so they were bitter). As far as red meat goes, I only eat ground beef, though I have been pureeing liver and "hiding" it in meat sauce and chili! If you have time to do a "cook-up", as recommended in the Well-Fed cookbooks, that will give you the makings of quick meals. I also like making double batches of things so that I can freeze them. Oh, for your little ones, check out Paleo Parents (http://paleoparents.com/blog/), they have a couple young kids. There may be some recipe ideas that your kids might enjoy.

Guest Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm new and began on 1/13. Looks like @Priscilla, @rbeasley1025, you & I all began on the same day. This is my first time doing whole30 - so I hope you don't mind that I lean on all of you for some support and ideas. I'm trying to get used to the idea of 3 meals a day, home cooked and menu planning - I was a little slow at first but I'm getting there. I love the idea of getting books from the Library, I never thought of that. Brilliant! I rely heavily on the internet or CB that I've purchased. Thanks for reminding me about the chicken broth, like I said it's hard to remember everything I've read in the book and put it into action. Best of luck everyone.

HeatherH Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 @Georgie, Welcome...and lean on!! My library is hooked up to a whole large branch/chain (?) of libraries. If there is a book I want, I just go on-line and reserve it. Whichever library has it, ships it to my library where I can pick it up and return it once I'm done! It's wonderful! Maybe the only downfall for some people is that you don't get the book that day (like if you were buying it at a book store), but I usually have a few books on reserve at a time, so it isn't an issue for me. All of it will get easier, but I will say that for me, having a meal plan in place makes things so much easier. There are no questions as to what I'm eating when. Best of luck to you also!

HeatherH Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 @peskigirl, Thanks! Day 4: Meals were a repeat from day 1. Breakfast: Meat roll-ups, coleslaw with homemade avocado aoili Lunch: Scrambled eggs (2) cooked in ghee, roasted sweet potatoes, kale chips Dinner: Chicken curry over cauliflower rice Day 5: Breakfast: 2 egg omlette cooked in ghee, filled with ground turkey and diced tomatoes Dinner: Turkey meatballs in tomato sauce, spaghetti squash Breakfast was late, because we were lazy! So no lunch for me. I will probably have a small snack a few hours before bed. I don't feel differently so far. I do think my stomach bloat has gotten better, but I am gassy every night (sorry for the TMI). I am hoping that is due to the amount of vegetables I am eating (I could go days without eating a vege), and it starts to settle within the next few days.

peskigirl Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Same thing happened to me during my first W30, the first days my stomach was a little crazy, and the repercussions forced me to light quite a few matches but after a little while that went away, and my whole digestive system felt better than ever (EVER!). Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
