NadineW Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Today is day one for me. I have been doing some serious reading on the Whole30. I am hoping to get tips and tricks from all of you experienced members. I hope you will have lots of good advice to help me stay on track. I am a vegetarian, and I am worried that will slow me down. I love veggies! I cannot think of any that I am unwilling to eat. I am open to all suggestions, so please feel free to give me as much good advice as you can. I am reintroducing a limited amount of eggs to my meals. My biggest fear right now is that I will have "cheese" withdrawal. I have only used milk in cooking for the last several years so I am not very worried about dairy. I am concerned about what to saute veggies with since I normally use butter. I need to lose weight and more importantly I need to feel better. I AM ALWAYS TIRED! I have seen lots of information that leads me to believe that my chronic fatigue will get better with this new way of eating. So best of luck to all of you out there. LETS DO THIS!!!

NadineW Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 My biggest problem is that I have gained too much weight being a stay at home mom for the last 7 years. I have let myself get lazy. I am looking forward to a "reset". I wish I could demolish my kitchen and start over with only ME in mind, but I have two active kids that I have to consider. I also have a husband who will not support me on any diet restrictions. So I am living with constant temptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannlib Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Clarify your butter and sauté your veggies in ghee instead!! And good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NadineW Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm looking for ghee locally. I live in Cocoa, FL. I've tried publix, windixie and aldi's with no luck. I'm on a mission later today. I am a full time college student so I have a lot of school work to do before I can venture out today. But I don't want to order it online and wait for a delivery. I also watched a video on the Whole30 website on making my own mayo that looked promising. Thx for advice Hannlib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gailemilia Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Today is my Big Day also AND I too am a vegetarian. I do eat some fish and will reintroduce eggs because it seems to limited otherwise. Let's do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyD Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Coconut oil also works really great for cooking veggies. Before ghee started showing up in our local grocery stores, I had to go to health food stores for it so you might try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassy1973 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I started yesterday as well. I baked my asparagus with a little bit of coconut oil today and it was great!!! Looking forward to watching your progress and sharing mine!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NadineW Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Today for dinner I had eggs with mushroom, onion, green peppers. With homemade salsa on top. And a side of asparagus. It was pretty good. I'm thinking of weird stuff to snack on like kimchi, or sauerkraut, some garlic stuffed mushrooms. I'm going to make guacamole tomorrow as well and use it in place of salad dressing. Also need to pick up some spaghetti squash. Man I have the munchies right now. UGH!

Hey Nadine, one of the big recommendations on Whole30 is to limit or eliminate snacking. If you eat a meal large enough to keep you going for 4-5 hours you shouldn't need to snack. But kimchi & sauerkraut are an awesome healthful addition to your meals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
