RGJax2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Day 3 Breakfast - Sweet potato with coconut butter, 2 mini frittatas with prosciutto, mushrooms, onions, and some chopped parmesan, coffee with almond milk *** Oddly enough, after I had my incredibly tasty frittatas with the first dairy I've had in over 30 days, my heart was racing a little. I'll have to see if that happens on the next exposure.

RGJax2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Day 4 - I need to think about my plan a little more and decide what I'm going to relax on and what I will continue to avoid.

RGJax2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Day 5 So, yesterday I got myself into trouble looking at other people's food logs. There was someone who had a pre-workout snack of 1 teaspoon of coconut butter and I became alarmed that I WAS eating too much. I view a serving size more around a tablespoon or two. I cut back on the amounts of food I was eating, and the day went poorly... Conclusion - I need to tend to my own knitting, to use a hackneyed phrase, and eat how I've been doing for the Whole30 all along. I lost 9 pounds doing that, and really, that's not bad for a month when I didn't have food cravings and wasn't hungry. I also think that cheese may very well be a trigger for me. Breakfast - 3 Scrambled eggs, mashed sweet potatoes, coffee Lunch (late) - Golden squash soup, 2 homemade sausage patties Squash soup recipe from Worlds Healthiest Foods - http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=recipe&dbid=33&utm_source=daily_click&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_email Dinner - London broil, french fries, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots medley, prosecco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGJax2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Days 7 and 8 - Traveled to Pennsylvania and back for a funeral. Pretty sure I reintroduced everything at once. Happily, no ill effects. Eager to resume healthier eating again. Day 9 Breakfast - 2 cups coffee, 3 salmon cakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hey Robin, I noticed that you did dairy on multiple days at just one meal. The recommended way to reintroduce is to do the group at 3 meals on one day and then follow with at least 2 compliant days to evaluate. Not sure if you know this and just were trying something different. Now I see your funeral trip post too (sorry for your loss). My suggestion is be Whole30 compliant for 4-7 days and then start introductions again.

RGJax2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks Bethany - yes, trying to get back on track again. :-( Yesterday did not precisely qualify. Day 0 Breakfast - 2 fried eggs, 3 strips of bacon Lunch - Epic bar followed by RxBar Snack - Apple with cashews Dinner - Hamburger with sweet potato and ghee Beverage - Cocktail with coconut water, coconut cream and rum (still trying to replicate the PF Chang's coconut cooler) Today - plan to go back to Whole30 template for the most part and reinstitute meal planning and vegetables which are waiting patiently in my refrigerator. This is harder than the Whole30 for me - trying to live in the real world. Breakfast - 2 fried eggs, 2 strips of bacon, steamed collard greens with lemon and garlic Lunch - hamburger patty, baked plantains, coffee with almond milk, small amount of mixed berries. Dinner - Large sweet potato with coconut butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGJax2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 So, now it's June, and I have regained the 9 pounds I lost, Sustaining healthy eating is a real challenge for me especially when I get overtired or stressed. I'm going to think about what components of the Whole30 I want to reintroduce and get at it. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
