Yes, I have to restart for accidentally having soy in the dressing in a salad on 6/6.  This is my second restart.  Starting from the beginning again!

 

Day 1 (formerly day 7)

 

Meal 1: 2 beef sausage egg muffins (egg, spinach, sweet potato, black olives, ground beef, fennel).  1 sliced banana.  Black coffee.

 

Meal 2: A kind of hodge podge of stuff  - 2 Applegate beef hotdogs, sauerkraut, cashew chicken over green salad.  Water. 

 

Meal 3: I made a delicious African spiced chicken with onion gravy over spaghetti squash.  Served with green salad with balsamic vinaigrette.  (From here on out, I make all my own dressings. I have not bought a bottle of dressing for like 6 months).  Water.

Meal 1: 2 Saag chicken bratwurst sausages (Chicken, vinegar, 2% or less of sea salt, spices, lemon powder (salt, natural lemon flavor), in beef collagen casing), sauerkraut, 2 over easy eggs, sweet potato and plantain hash.  Black coffee. 

 

Meal 2: 2 romaine lettuce wrapped cashew chicken, grapes, water.

This sounds like a great meal. Tell me more about the onion gravy.

 

 

The dish is made in the crock pot  - chicken thighs, chicken broth, carrots, allspice, salt, pepper, and a ton of thinly sliced onion!  I use my mandolin to slice them nicely.   When it's all done, the onions just blanket the chicken, and it's so delicious.  I got the recipe from a crock pot Paleo cookbook.

Day 4 - Can't I just have a hamburger???!!!

 

Meal 1: 3 beef sausage egg muffins, 1/2 orange, black coffee. 

 

Meal 2:  I really wanted a burger, so me and my kids went to In 'n Out Burger.  I ordered our food to go through the drive thru - double double with grilled onions only, protein style, and an unsweetened ice tea. This was confirmed to me 3 times, and although I was impressed that the food server at the window knew about Whole30 (she asked about my order), I was not impressed by what I opened at home.  I got it wrapped in lettuce.... and that was the only thing right.  They put EVERYTHING on my burger, and I was so sad!!!  I didn't want to drive back to the restaurant with 3 kids (it's about 20 minutes away), so I just threw it out and made lunch at home (which is what I was avoiding today.).   INSTEAD... I made 2 Applegate hot dogs, sauerkraut, 2 rings of fresh pineapple and the ice tea.  Plus, a bad mood.  Ugh.

 

Meal 3:  More darn chicken.  I really hope I can avoid poultry tomorrow!  Indonesian chicken over carrot "noodles", steamed broccoli and cauliflower.  Water. 

 

After dinner:  Will there be an after dinner?  Probably.  I'm thinking fresh fruit or baked apple rings with raw cashews and raisins.  Just to complete my day.

Meal 2: Finally got my burger!  Made grass fed beef patties at home with sauteed onions and pineapple, lettuce leaf wrapped.  Jicama "fries" (I sliced them into matchsticks and sauteed them in the burger juices). Sparkling orange water. 

 

Meal 3: Ground turkey shepard's pie (carrots, onion, celery, turnip, garlic), topped with pureed cauliflower (ghee, salt, pepper).  Green salad with balsamic dressing.  Water.

 

Herbal tea, sliced pineapple. 

 

All pics are on my blog.

A reminder on post WO fuel: the template calls for protein and carb. No fruit or fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30. 

 

I know :(.  We haven't gone food shopping yet, and my kids have eaten everything since being on summer vacation :(.  My daughter had opened the banana and left it on the table, so I took the opportunity to eat it instead of wasting it.... Hopefully after this weekend, I can have some premade stuff  I can grab!

Under pressure for tomorrow's Fathers Day brunch.  So far, I've got crab and shrimp cakes with hollandaise sauce and asparagus, poached eggs (So it's like a crabcake benedict with no english muffin).  Sweet potato hash, fruit "ambrosia" salad (with unsweetened coconut flakes).  *Sigh*  Just don't feel like it's enough for my dad.  (Hubby -yes, but my dad is totally all breads and pancakes kind of guy).

Meal 1:  Crab and shrimp cake benedict on top of sweet potato and spinach hash browns. (http://nomnompaleo.com/post/3635746431/paleo-krabby-patties).

No meal after brunch. We ate late and I wasn't hungry for lunch.  We went on a hike.

 

Dinner:  we went to 5 Guys (double patty burger with grilled onions, bunless), and Pizza My Heart (field greens salad with my own balsamic vinaigrette.)  Sparkling lemon lime water.   Unfortunately, I started to not feel well during dinner (maybe from drinking a large coffee on an empty stomach after the hike).  I ate half of the burger and no salad.  I'm still waiting to see if I feel hungry later.

Have you tried digestive enzymes? They really help with acid reflux. You will need to take them with every meal for a while before noticing the effects. Congratulations on making it to day 20!

 

Thanks, Tina :).  Unfortunately, it's autoimmune, and I'm allergic to all things nightshade :(.  I tried an introduction, not thinking that I would react so unfavorably to 1 tablespoon of the tomato sauce.  I guess that means I should still stay away!  I haven't taken a Tagamet since I started Whole30 back on May 1st.  It has a histamine and acid reducer, so it (should) work against the allergy.  It reduced my symptoms (which has always been gastric distress for tomatoes - potatoes and others give me hives) a bit, but I still have some reflux today as well.  Sigh... it takes a few days to go away :(
