jenn Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm on day 3 and right in the midst of the headaches and nausea and letting go of all the sugar cravings. It's tough but I'm working through it. What I can't get my head around is all the meat. We weren't big meat eaters before - once maybe twice a week max - and I just can't stomach all the meat so far. I've tried different recipes, spices, different methods of cooking, pre-cooking but when it comes down to eat I just can't stomach it. I'll be hungry getting a meal ready but then when I sit down to eat it, just can't do it. I'm not a vegetarian just not a big meat fan. I don't love eggs so definitely don't want to eat them more than once a day (and really if I could eat them every other day would be a lot happier). Any suggestions for what I can do? I really want to have a successful whole 30 but I think I'm going to have to add in an alternate protein source. My main reasons for starting were to get rid of sugar and dairy. I have a major sugar addiction and lately my exczema won't go away and I have a feeling it's dairy. My joints get really achy after I have dairy so I'm thinking there's lot of inflammation there. So all that bveing said.... any ideas for alternate protein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAK911 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Are you having the same reaction to fish? My basic suggestions would be to go for some of the less meaty seeming seafoods if they're an option for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberrantatavia Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Is it just meat you have a hard time with or fish and Poultry too? I did something similar to this a couple of months ago and only had eggs and fish for protien. They aren't as heavy to digest if you aren't used to much meat.

jenn Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm the same with poultry. I'm better with fish, it hadn't occurred to me to incorporate it more. My husband doesn't eat seafood so I've never cooked it much. The thought of cooking 2 meals isn't my favourite but it may be a way around all the meat.

hellojosie Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It doesn't need to be two meals! Don't think of it that way-- it's just two different proteins. If you're grilling, get yourself a nice piece of fish and your husband a steak or a burger. Or if you're roasting something in the oven, put a chicken breast in for your husband and then toss some fish in for you for the last 20min.
