Mommyof2 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm on day 4 and this morning I woke up feeling very shaky. I drank some water and could visually see my cup shaking! My husband thought my blood sugar was low. I ate some deviled eggs ans a banana for breakfast and felt better. Is this normal? I also wasn't really hungry this morning but I felt I had to eat.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 17, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nope. Shaking is not normal. Many people do not eat enough when they start a Whole30, so that would be my first concern. It is very important to eat a good breakfast within an hour of waking in the morning. This is very important to getting your hormones into a good rhythm to support fat loss and sleep among other things. By good breakfast I mean eating at least the minimum described in the meal template: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf and more if you can stand it in the morning.

Vian Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yeah, a couple eggs and a banana is not a full breakfast. That's a snack. For example, my breakfast is usually a 5oz. sausage patty (home-made) with about 1 c. diced and roasted sweet potato, a sliced shallot, and probably close to a cup of greens (whatever I have, spinach, kale, sliced brussels sprouts) all sauteed together in my cast iron skillet with coconut oil and spices. It fills a good-sized cereal bowl to the top and keeps me satiated for 5-6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof2 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ok. I will try to eat more next time. I'm finding it difficult to eat only because I've never been a big fan of meats or veggies. So a lot of the foods do not appeal to me. However I HAVE been enjoying a lot of different foods that I never would've glanced at pre whole30! Breakfast is hard because I'm not hungry for meat and veggies. Eggs are great but I'm getting sick of them already. What do I really want for breakfast? A bowl of cereal! I hoping with time meat and veggies for breakfast will sound delicious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 What about seafood for your protein and soup for your veggies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm finding it difficult to eat only because I've never been a big fan of meats or veggies. I'm afraid this is one of those times when you really have to power through. You are a grown up. Find the combinations of meat and vegetables that are most appealing, but don't skip them just because you have never been a "big fan". I'm pretty sure once you eat them regularly (and stop giving your body simple sugar and carbs all the time) you will start to enjoy them more.
