cafelover Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I guess technically I could say I started yesterday since the only noncompliant thing I had was a soda water sweetened with stevia which actually didn't stay in my system too long because of a short bout I've had with the stomach flu. The last whole 30 I tried was in May and I stuck with it for almost 14 days. And I lost 6 lbs and have kept it off! I have about 10 more lbs til my goal weight, and I'm hoping this next try at it will make a dent in that weight loss goal. Previously, a year ago, I had tried a whole 30 and I actually gained weight. I was too focused on eating really elaborate, delicious paleo meals and obsessed over food. When I did the program again in May, I kept the food really simple and noticed that after awhile, I didn't look to food to excite me anymore. Also, I know whole 30 says eat 3 big meals, but my body just doesn't work like that. I feel very uncomfortable if I eat too much. I would much rather eat to satisfaction and then have to grab a hardboiled egg between meals if I get hungry. That makes much more sense to me than eating past fullness just to avoid being hungry in between meals. That's just me though, that's what I did during the last whole 30 attempt, and it worked for me. I am hoping to feel better mentally and have more energy and better sleep after completing this Whole 30. If anyone wants a buddy, let me know!

GlenG Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've not had 3 meals a day all week for a variety of reasons, but I'm not hungry either. Stick it out this time, you can do it! Day 19 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafelover Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Nice work, Glen! Getting through the first week has always been the hardest. I am actually going to wait two or three more days to begin. I still have the stomach flu and the only thing that has appealed to me has been gingerale with stevia and brown rice cakes. I have also made a bone broth soup with celery and chicken, but even that seems like too much for me to handle. I know, I know...the brown rice cakes aren't ideal, but I don't feel like they're that harmful either...I just need something to sooth the symptoms so that I can work from home. If anyone would like a buddy, I'd really like to give/receive encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
