mollimel Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 This will be my fourth Whole30, but I have not kept a log previously, and I'm hoping that this will help keep me on my path this time. I'm also going to use i to monitor my mental health. I have Type 2 Diabetes which the Whole 30 and paleo eating have helped get my blood sugar levels down, and maintain it so far, my last A1C test was 6.1, and I've had a test come back confirming gluten intolerance. I've noticed that when I eat gluten, my mental health seems to be depressed as well as anxious, cranky and easily irritated. I've found that dairy makes my skin erupt and itchy. And so it begins!

mollimel Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Day 1 - 9th January, 2015 How did I sleep: My nights are getting later, probably doesn't help that I'm on annual leave and have no routine at the moment. The heat is always a bonus too, but going to sleep as it rained was lovely. Still need a nap during the day though! How do I feel AM: Did not want to get out of bed, but did because I was hungry. Exercise: Gardening Breakfast: Stir-fried capsicum, zucchini and mushrooms with baby spinach, and 3 eggs cooked in ghee. Lunch: Roast pumpkin and beetroot with rocket, and 195g can tuna with drizzle of coconut aminos. How do I feel after lunch: Tired Dinner:Well Fed Chocolate Chilli with sweet potato mash and half an avocado. I ended up having a mini meal of what I had at lunch about 5,30 as I was starving, guessing not enough fat at lunch time, will monitor this! How do I feel before bed:Little bit tired and grumpy, looking forward to not being so tired all the time again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndJP Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm following your whole30 log! I too suffer from anxiety and depression. I went off meds this summer and was doing great but then got off track with my diet and my mood slowly changed. I'm back on the meds and finally back to whole30 and am finally getting some relief. It really does make a difference! Keep on keeping on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
