Hols1 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Day 26 -Ok I'm having that delayed reaction thing again. I remember in one of the W30 emails there was a discussion of pants initially getting looser then tighter again but it happened in week 2. Well it's happening to me now! Pooh. I keep being told that I don't eat enough or enough fat. After many, many decades of low cal and low fat eating that is a hard habit to break, not that it has done any good! Ok I'll do it but if I gain weight I'm coming back to you guys!a.m. -Two Nom Nom Paleo Curried beef, broccoli, onion and egg muffins12:30 -BIG salad with 4 oz chicken, red pepper, fresh fig, green onion, bacon bits, tomato, evoo and red wine vin dressing. 4:00 - Still having low blood sugar in the afternoons. Had some veggies dipped in Well Fed Tahini sauce. 7:00-Salmon cake w/ a dollop of mayo and hot sauceAsparagus with gheeHandful of Mac nutsI have just started using ghee to see if it impacts my gut like dairy but so far so good which I am totally psyched about!See lots of fat!

Hols1 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 What great news it would be if you realized you no longer needed those BP meds at all! Very cool if you get to cut back the dose, at least. It does make a world of difference in how you feel. My dad has had a lot of experience with this, unfortunately. If only I could get him to try a Whole 30! This is Day 4 of cutting my BP med dosage in half and I am finally starting to feel better. I suspect that my thyroid med may be need to be reduced too since I am having heart palpitations. Got to go see my naturopath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hols1 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 ! I came here today specifically to tell you congratulations. I am very impressed with the progress you've made, and I hope you continue to do so. Best wishes for better health! Thank you so much! I am very excited to get on the scale and take measurements! I know that I still have a ways to go but I am totally committed to living a Paleo lifestyle. I don't think I will be adding much of anything back in except the occasional potato or glass of wine. I hope it's OK to occasionally check in here. This has been a great source of support and inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Of course, stick around as long as you want! I haven't even officially done a Whole 30 since May, but I'm still here. Did you know that potatoes of all kinds are allowed now? So really... if you continue to eat Whole 30-style, just adding in an occasional glass of wine... you will continue to see great improvements.

I am eating more veggies than ever, drink at least 9 glasses of water a day, make sure I get enough and still having problem! What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 What have you introduced since the end of your Whole 30? Did you do the re-introduction periods as recommended in the book, so that you could pinpoint what may be causing symptoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
