va_aef Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Today's day 1, and it's only 9:45, so I don't have much to post. I am at home all day with the kids because it's a snow day. I am sure I will be making some hot chocolate soon, glad I don't really care for it! Coffee with canned coconut milk was fine, feel like I have a little acid reflux, but that could be unrelated. Planning on either running on the treadmill or doing a Pure Barre workout. Didn't get breakfast in this morning, still trying to figure out that, I think I might cook up some meat into little sausage patties I can defrost first thing - I just don't like breakfast.

Congratulations! When do you eat dinner at night? If you can eat dinner earlier you may become hungry at breakfast time. Also do not drink coffee before you eat breakfast. Coffee will actually suppress your appetite. It may take a while for your hormones to regulate so that you are actually hungry in the morning. Does your coconut milk have guar gum in it? Although this ingredient is compliant during your whole30 your body may not like it and could be why you had acid reflux. Also coffee is very acidic and can cause acid reflux.

Although this ingredient is compliant during your whole30 your body may not like it and could be why you had acid reflux. Also coffee is very acidic and can cause acid reflux. It does have guar gum in it, it's the regular one from whole foods, I am hitting the store tomorrow to stock up on more supplies and will look for a coconut milk without it! Morning 2 cups of coffee with about 1,5 tablespoons coconut milk per cup 10:00am roasted pork tenderloin and roasted cauliflower (leftovers) * tomorrow I an going to work on eating before coffee Afternoon Lunch was an Aidells chicken and apple sauage, brocolli and coconut oil Needed a snack at 3ish had more pork tenderloin * need bigger meals Evening Snacked on coconut butter while cooking, promptly hid coconut butter in the back of the cabinet Made better butter chicken from Everyday Paleo meant to cook asparagus, but forgot. Family ate their chicken over rice. Ate a forgotten slice of pear of my daughter's plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFChris Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi there! Meals are looking good. Some feedback on your post WO and snacks. For best results, follow the meal template recommendations. Post WO is protein and carb, no fat. Nuts are a fat source on the Whole30. The need to snack between meals can be an indication that your earlier meals need to be bigger. Play around with your protein, veg and fat portions until your meals satiate you for 4-5 hours. In the meantime, if you are genuinely hungry in between meals (hungry = you could eat steamed fish and broccoli), have a mini meal containing a protein and fat.

va_aef Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Starting over on day 1 tomorrow. I was at a four day conference, day 1 and 2 were great, then I ran out of Paleo Packs and Lara bars. I have no major travel plans over the next 30 days, I know I can keep to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
