mlum007 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Day 3 Today was a little harder. I wasn't satisfy with lunch(it was a little smaller portion than yesterday). I am following the AIP Whole 30- no eggs, nuts, night shade vegetables. I haven't had eggs or nightshade vegetables since 2/11/14. I am starting to miss salsa. I will try and make pineapple or mango salad this weekend. I am cooking 4 sweet potatoes right now. I will eat one whole sweet potato a day between breakfast and lunch. I find them more satisfying with those meals.

gardengirl Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Cruising around here... Thanks for the idea of capers! I have some and never think of eating them! I'm glad you like leftovers and are tweaking your meals to make them delicious and satisfying. ! It reduces some of the planning/ kitchen time needed for a successful 30-day run. Good luck!

Tina R Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looks like you are doing great! Isn't it amazing how other people can feel uncomfortable by what you are eating or not eating. I guess food is so social that people feel insulted you are not participating with everyone else. I don't see a lot of fat in your meal blogs. I am hoping you just don't want to write a novel about what your are eating. Make sure you are following the meal planning template. http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf. If you are not eating enough fat it could be why you had a moment of weakness during for first run. I don't see a lot of fruit either. Although fruit is not a requirement it can add some enjoyment to your meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlum007 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 After a full all day on the computer at work, I am pretty lazy at night. I cook everything in coconut oil or olive oil. In my salad dressing I use olive oil and I don't drain the fat from the cooked meat. I don't eat a lot of fruit, one because I am on a tight budget and my son doesn't eat fruit. So I spend more money on veggies. He does eat his veggies.
