AllyRe22 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have a few extra minutes this morning so I thought I would add a little about myself. I am turning 30 in May and am a stay at home mama of 2. My oldest is turning 4 next week, and my youngest is 10 months. I decided to do whole30 mainly to see if it would help with my psorasis, but am excited about many other possible benefits as well. Particularly, weight control and increased energy levels. I am also nursing my youngest with chronic low supply and am interested to see if this will increase my supply at all. My husband is doing it with me, although he's not 100% committed so he will probably cheat some. Since I do the majority of the cooking his dinners will be the same as mine. My kids are also eating meals with us, but I will add some cheese and yogurt into their diet as well. Before this I would have said that I eat "mostly" healthy. We don't eat out much and eat a good variety of fruits and veggies, but we also eat lots of carbs and sugar. Sweets have been my biggest downfall, especially since having our second baby, eating dessert at almost every meal. My main concern right now is that I'm eating enough calories/fat to support breastfeeding, as I don't want my already low supply to drop even more. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome!

GFChris Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Welcome! Given that you're breastfeeding, know that you can eat 4 meals a day if that's what you need. Can you hold more than 2 eggs in one hand? If so, you may want to increase your egg serving size at breakfast.For tips with your supply, browse through the Whole30 While Pregnant or Breastfeeding section of the forum. Post a question if you don't find what you need. You can also search the forum via Google. Type Whole30 followed by whatever you're looking for. If it's here, you'll get links to the posts.

AllyRe22 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Day 4 Breakfast: 2 eggs over easy on swiss chard; kiwi; coconut milk Lunch: Leftover pork; red cabbage salad with avocado dressing; apple Snack: hard boiled egg; carrots; half banana with sunflower seed butter Dinner: Hamburgers with fresh salsa; raw cauliflower and broccoli; coconut oil Been feeling normal the last 2 days. Getting hungry before dinner so added a snack. No serious temptations yet. Had to turn down apple pie yesterday while my husband and son ate some. I wasn't really tempted by it, husband said later it wasn't even that great. The women serving made it more awkward then anything because she asked me several times if I was sure I didn't want any. Yes! I'm sure! I've told you twice already!! Assuming this is going to happen a lot in the next month, so I guess I'll get used to it. One thing I noticed both days is that I was really full after dinner. I think I've just been serving my plate and trying to finish all of it rather than listening to my body when I feel satisfied and stopping. This is something I would like to do better at.

I reeeeeaaalllly wanted to eat a bite of cheese that I was serving my kids at lunch today. And was at the store in the afternoon which made me think more about all the things I am not eating. I managed to make it through the day without giving in, but it was hard! Otherwise, feeling pretty normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was terrified to even be near off-plan food during my first W30. Excellent job with the willpower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyRe22 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Day 7 Breakfast: 3 eggs over easy with sauteed kale, zucchini soup, half avocado Lunch: salmon patties; broccoli slaw salad with cashews, strawberries Snack: boiled egg, canned pumpkin, coconut milk Dinner: steak; sauteed veggies; half avocado Stressful day, shopping for the next week and trying to cook without a real plan was difficult. We ran low on veggies and I had thought we would have enough leftovers for tonight's dinner but we didn't, so I had to figure it out last minute. And I'm trying to get ready for my son's birthday party tomorrow. aka making cake and trying not to eat any or lick the spoon or my fingers. Haha! I also felt more hungry today than usual, not sure why, I think I was eating about the same amount of food. Nevertheless, I have survived another day! And I found this during lunch today, kinda freaked me out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyRe22 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Day 13 Breakfast: Leftover stew with avocado Lunch: 6 deviled eggs with olives, salad with cashews and cauliflower, small apple Dinner: Taj Mahal chicken curry, little coconut milk on the side Still feeling pretty good overall, definitely haven't been as hungry the last couple days. Still haven't noticed an increase in energy, but that could be because the baby wakes me up several times most nights. I can't remember the last time I had 8 straight hours of sleep. Psoriasis on my scalp has been really itchy but I think it might be getting better, not as flaky and seems to be covering less of my scalp.
