Hello,  

 

I am approaching the two week mark and I am struggling SO HARD. All I think about is putting bread in my mouth. Plus, it's hard working as a night nurse with this. I feel like I haven't seen/really felt any change. 

 

Am I rushing? How can I help myself finish? 

 

 

Thanks all

Hi There!

 

Sorry to hear that you are having difficulties.  Are you able to give us some ideas on what your meals have looked like for a few days.  It could be a case of not eating enough or not getting enough carby veggies in your system.  But post a couple days worth of meals here and people should be able to help you trouble shoot.

I echo Carla's request to post 2-3 days worth of your meals, along with your exercise routine, daily water consumption and average daily hours of sleep, so folks here can help with possible tweaks. 

 

A gentle reminder that it's a 30 day program (see 1st article link below).  Remind yourself of the reasons you chose to embark on a Whole30, and use those to motivate you to see the whole program through.

 

Also, here are a few articles that you may find helpful:

Michele Tam is a great friend of Whole30, and until very recently she worked the night shift as a pharmacist.

Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating enough, and getting enough nutrients. Night shift can burn through your resources a little faster.

 

If you're not taking any, I highly recommend magnesium supplements before bed.
