healthyAbby Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 DAY 0 I did a whole 30 last year around this time, I did a pretty good job of keeping the benefits of it with me despite some off-roading until recently. And so now I am ready to start and complete my second whole30. I went shopping and got some things that hopefully will last me a week or so, and so I'm excited to see what this will bring. I believe I have some food intolerances that I don't quite understand as I did such a bad job with reintros last year. My goals are as follows: Clear Skin Improve allergies Change body composition - I don't care so much about the scale as I care about having a flat stomach Decrease amount of coffee needed per day (one thing I learned last time around was to drink it after eating, I really don't need to drink it but I enjoy it) Get good solid sleep, with a good sleep/wake schedule. Be Happy. Reduce sugar cravings... need for dessert/something sweet I think that's good. I got some really good groceries: Light Tasting Olive Oil to make mayo Brown mustard, because I'm not ready to venture into homemade ketchup land Yellow and Red bell peppers (2 of each) 5 lb bag of Organic Carrots Frozen broccoli and cauliflower (it was cheeper than fresh today) Wild caught Cod Mangos (2) Avocados (bag of 4) Tahini An onion Cucumber (3) Cherry tomatoes Aidells Apple Chicken Sausages Beef Hotdogs 2 lbs GF ground beef I'm really excited!! And now that I have so much food I actually have to do it. I'm going to weigh and measure myself later and make notes of that for when I'm done, I can actually see how my body changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyn Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi Abby, good luck with your whole30! Today is my last day but I'm starting round 2 on Monday to encourage my parents as they start on their first whole30. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow, it sure makes it easier when you've got enough of the right groceries on hand! I'm gonna try Tessamae's ketchup instead of making my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyAbby Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks Abby!! I have parents that could benefit from a whole 30 but they have no interest in it. And so I'm going to lead by quiet example, and maybe just maybe they'll decide later on that its not that bad and they'll follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyAbby Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Day 1 I'm pretty happy about the foods I bought yesterday, it made my meal 1 prep so easy Meal 1: Aidells chicken apple sausage Steamed carrots and yellow/red pepper Cherry tomatoes (large handful) Tahini dressing (tahini, lemon juice, coconut aminos) Slice watermelon I don't think that I'll have the tahini dressing all that often, but it's nice to have when your avocados aren't quite ripe and mayo and ghee aren't made.

healthyAbby Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Day 1Meal 2Ground beef with garlic (I cooked up a pound for easy protein)Romaine lettuceRed/yellow steamed peppersCherry tomatoesMangoAvocadoPace picante salsa (all compliant ingredients)I already withstood some pizza as my boyfriend had some. Feeling powerful. Edit: Meal 3 cod sweet potato asparagus Ranch dressing (well fed) cucumber salad I didn't drink enough water today, but I will work on that. If anyone has any comments/suggestions let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyAbby Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 So my mom kinda yelled at me for eating the asparagus, but she'd told me I could eat it :/ although I did eat the entire bunch last night (due to hormones I think, period had started sorry if TMI) asparagus is still a better choice than the chips and cereals in the pantry. She thinks you have to be in a deficit of calories to lose weight but I showed it last summer that you can eat a lot and still lose weight. Day 2 "Mexican scrambled eggs" Half an onion Yellow/red pepper Garlic ground beef 2 eggs Pace picante salsa Handful cherry tomatoes Half Avocado Mug of coffee Going to work on drinking more water today... Maybe that will help when the munchy monster hits lol Meal 2 will be: Aidells sausage or Applegate hotdogs Sliced cucumber Carrot sticks Mayo ranch Cherry tomatoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyAbby Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 So day 2 I didn't have three meals... I had been in a little rush to get out the door so I forgot to bring my protein with me for meal two. Then I didn't bring my food into work with me, and my mayo ranch got a bit hot in the car, so I didn't end up eating it (I would rather not eat it and get sick). I ended up eating the hotdogs with a mustard mayo dipping sauce, and a few more cherries. I was full. Day 3 Meal 1: Aidells chicken apple sausage Cauliflower "oatmeal" (I just put some cinnamon/nutmeg along with olive oil on mashed cauliflower) Steamed carrots Handful of cherry tomatoes Snack: Mango Shrimp Cucumber Meal 2: Chipotle! Carnitas, pico, guac Meal 3: Leftovers "hotplate" stew Hamburger meat chopped broccoli steamed carrots onion coconut milk and a little water, Ras el Hanout seasoning Today was day 4 Meal 1: 2 poached eggs (I only eat 2 because I am so full after this meal, I don't want to be overstuffing myself) sweet potato hash Meal 2: Tuna Salad "Wrap"* (Can of WFs chunk light tuna in water, homemade mayo, salt/pepper) *I saw a video of someone showing how you're supposed to wrap a lettuce wrap, it involves laying down your pieces of lettuce on wax paper or parchment paper and wrapping it so you have something easy to hold in your hand without losing anything. I ate it in the car, not the best but it worked for the time Meal 3: Taco Salad! Ground beef Cherry Tomatoes Romaine lettuce Avocado Well thats that... I am feeling pretty good thus far. My bowels have been pretty regular. I still need to drink more water, but otherwise everything is good. I think I need more salt because I'm voiding more often than usual, and the urgency is worse :/ I just forget about salt, until later in the day when I have a light headache or dizziness. I am enjoying the food. Unrelated to my log... what would you guys make for someone who is on a typically SAD diet, to show them how awesome this stuff is? My boyfriend wants to go on a little trip, and I'd like to stay compliant and get him on a better eating schedule. So thoughts? Maybe things from the NomNomPaleo cookbook?

healthyAbby Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 So it's day 5! Kill all the things is hitting me hard right now. My food for the day was as follows Meal 1: Sausage Steamed carrots Cucumber Mayo mustard dipping sauce Meal 2 Hard boiled egg salad wrap (I'd used up all my homemade mayo in the morning, that I had mixed the lemonaise I had instead as I was pressed for time) cherry tomatoes Meal 3 Cod Sweet potatoe wedges on the grill Cucumber, pepper, tomatoes, steamed carrots I got a green tea from starbucks earlier in the day.... I think they gave me sweetened even though I asked for unsweetened :/ super annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyAbby Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Day 6 Prior to meal 1 I drank about 16 oz water Meal 1: Chicken apple sausage Sautéed yellow/red pepper In coconut oil Kiwi Tahini Meal 2: 2 Applegate hotdogs Grilled carrots (3) Cherry tomatoes Mango Meal 3: (to be eaten later) Egg salad lettuce wrap Extra carrots Cherry tomatoes Small peach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleomedic Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nice looking meals! I tried making mayo with olive oil once it tasted wrong to me. I've since tried avocado oil, while still wasn't great but edible. The best so far has been macadamia nut oil. Very mild tasting. Taco salad sounds yummy!

healthyAbby Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks! I try to make all my meals satisfying, I use the extra light tasting Olive oil for mayo. Better on my budget lol. My parents offer to buy me things but I feel bad having them buy things for me all the time, when my siblings aren't getting the same things. The taco salad was really yummy! So easy too.

healthyAbby Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Today's (Day 7) Meal 3: 2 applegate hotdogs Sweet potato steak fries on the grill (leftover from meal 2) Salad with red wine vinegar Homemade mayo with mustard dip (its just mayo and a bit of spicy mustard, mixed.) I drank a ton of water today. Felt pretty thirsty for some reason, kinda unknown to me. I'm super tired as well. I think I need the carbs at all meals or need to tweak something. I wonder if its because of my medications? I'm on a low dose aspirin and zyrtec for allergies (allergic to dust, feel better when i take it.)

healthyAbby Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 So yesterday was day 10. Meal 2 was broken up into two mini meals several hours apart. I had one chicken finger, and a cup of snow peas for one "meal" and the cucumber/tuna I didn't eat as my snack day 9 (you know you're on a whole30 when your snacks you keep in your purse don't consist of fruit as frequently as veggies. Meal 3 wss "built" like a template meal, but I'm sure there were offplan ingredients. So I broke my whole 30 for something hibachi, and the grill person thought it was weird I wasn't eating the rice so I think he just added extra sauces and butter. I'm ok with this moment of noncompliance as I wanted to make this a Whole30 summer. I kinda wish I had just cooked something complaint :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda wish I had just cooked something complaint :/ If you did have butter, unfortunately ingesting dairy (accidental or not) hits the reset button on a Whole30. Call it a Whole40 if it works better for your mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyAbby Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Didn't mean to do that. I'm glad to hear that my meals have been inspiring you! Nice to hear someone else is from the wonderful state of Massachusetts lol. If you want to log your meals you should make your own log or i wouldn't mind if you logged here Meal 2: Leftover hamburger meat 2 carrots Cucumber homemade mayo Meal 3: asparagus Grilled chicken olives Nectarine I'm feeling pretty good right now. But I've noticed some bumpy rash on my legs. I'm hoping to figure out what is causing this rash with my whole30. I decided to weigh myself tonight as technically I'm starting over, and I've lost 3.4 pounds. I have clearer skin, so I'm seeing some benefits.
