Cathi Cannon Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think I kicked things off ok! bfast: coffee w/almond milk, hard boiled egg, banana w/raisins, pecans, coconut flakes, & cinnamon. lunch: big salad (spinach, carrots, roasted red peppers & green beans, chopped egg, roasted chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, sunflower seeds, topped w/EVOO + balsamic). I was FULL! snack: raw kombucha, larabar dinner: pan seared salmon (in coconut oil), wilted spinach, and roasted butternut squash. and a few walnuts. funny thing is, i'm usually jonesing for snack (sweets!) right about now, but I'm STILL FULL. yahhh! Bring it, Day Two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apreston Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Congratulations! Sweets are my weakness too, I find it easier to keep away if I ditch dried fruit too. Sounds like you maybe you don't need to be so hardcore, I might be a little jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2012 Your food looks really good with one exception. The almond milk in your coffee may be a problem unless you made it yourself from almonds. The stuff that comes in cartons in the refrigerator section of stores is full of preservatives that make it off limits during a Whole30 and a bad choice in general. And one hard boiled egg is a pretty light breakfast. You might look towards working up to three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathi Cannon Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I did make sure my almond milk doesn't have carrageenan in it, which makes it *a tad* better (although I do want to try my hand at making almond milk from scratch!) I have a broken arm right now and not allowed to drive per the dr, so I haven't been able to pick up the coconut milk yet. hoping to get a ride to the grocery store soon!! Is there any guidance as to how many eggs/day or week are ok? I know the cholesterol content is high and I want to be mindful of that... I figured with the nuts, perhaps my bfast proteins amount was ok. (certainly kept me full longer than normal!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
