Chaslie Granger Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I am 9 days into my second Whole30 and this time around I have found that sweet potatoes are making me feel bloated and very uncomfortable in my clothes. I was wondering if butternut squash would be a better alternative? This round of Whole30 is just not going too great and I feel like I have gained weight because again my clothes feel TIGHT!! Below is an example of a typical day. Any advise would be sooooo appreciated. I am also doing Insanity max30 5 days a week, could this be too much stress on my body and causing a cortisol spike? Pre-workout: one egg white because I need something but nothing too heavy Post-workout: sweet potato, turkey meatball Breakfast: 3 whole eggs, avocado, butternut squash or blueberries Lunch: chicken breast, green beans, coconut oil or ghee Snack: chicken breast Dinner: turkey burger, spinach and cabbage salad, shredded coconut flakes, La Croix water I also drink anywhere from 3-4 liters of water everyday Thanks for the help whole30 family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Do you drink a lot of La Croix water? Carbonated beverages can increase your bloat.Cabbage can be the culprit or Ghee. Also every whole30 is different. Your intestines may need more time to heal on this one so it's taking a while to adjust. I would increase your veggies. The goal is 1-3 cups per meal. I am all about variety because I love veggies so I would have 1 cup each of three different veggies per meal. You could be sensitive to sweet potato so you might want to avoid it for a few days and see if things improve. Then if they do try it out again and see if your symptoms return. Good Luck!

Chaslie Granger Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I drink one La Croix water everyday. I really hope it's not my cabbage slaw because I LOVE it so much I will start thinking of other things to change on this Whole30. It's just so confusing because my first round was so successful and I felt the tiger blood and this time nothing:( Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 You know I don't drink a ton of it but every time I've had La Criox specifically I feel uncomfortable. I don't feel that way when I do other sparkling waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
