bpaynecos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I started my Whole 30 on Sunday, then after popping a goldfish cracker in my mouth without thinking, started over on Monday..... So technically I am on day 4. I want to do this all the way through, but I am also not going to eat meat. I know that chapter 21 says that as a vegetarian I can eat lentils, etc., but I want to try to stay away from those, too. So, I am attempting to do this whole thing with just using Eggs as my protein source. Granted, it's only day 4, but I am feeling good. I may be willing to do a couple meals with some shrimp as protein... Do you think I can pull this off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It might be tricky. Do you like any other seafood besides shrimp? Mussels, scallops, clams? Would you eat canned tuna or salmon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpaynecos Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Definitely not canned tuna. Maybe on the others. Do you think it would be "ok" to give this a shot and then make that decision if I start to go bonkers on eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If the food you are eating is on the shopping list, you can restrict further, although you may go "bonkers" and may not get the best benefits nutritionally. There's no reason not to try. (You already are and that's awesome.) If you cook your eggs multiple ways and flavor them with fun sauces and spices, you may just show the rest of us something! You may also enjoy this series, although I am not finding the links to the rest of the series right now. http://whole9life.com/2010/10/omnivore/ Found this one while looking for the rest... http://whole9life.com/2013/02/eating-meat-a-primer-for-the-meat-challenged-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpaynecos Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 ^^^ Thanks, I'll look closer at them tonight, but I really want to do this without eating meat. I think I will benefit from taking inflamation-causing foods. I saw a recipe for zucchini spiralized carbonera (I'll be ommitting the bacon!). Such a different way to include eggs. http://paleopot.com/2013/09/paleo-spaghetti-alla-carbonara-zucchini-noodles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If you're willing to try other seafood, oysters and other bivalves are full of lots of important minerals. If you're eating loads of eggs, see if you can find a good supplier. It varies by area but I've found I can even get biodynamic ones, if I get them delivered.

mercuryhime Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I did a pescatarian Whole 30 with great results. It was a lot of eggs for me as they are generally cheaper. I also went to Trader Joe's and stocked up on frozen tilapia, salmon and flounder. Got some frozen sea bass and shrimp from my parents. and that was my protein for the Whole 30. I had sardines from a can once when I was too tired to do more than pop open a can and dump some salad into a bowl. In general this worked very well for me. I'd do it again.
