JamBre Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hey everyone! I purchased and read the book Sunday. I am going to do my shopping today and starting tomorrow. I am nervous but more excited to see how whole30 will change me health! Can't wait to get to make new friends and support others! Breana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_Cezeaux Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi folks, I'm on day 3 and learned the hard way yesterday, Pay Attention to the Timeline and food recommendations. Do NOT neglect the starchy carbs and make certain you get enough water. I was good on the water but suffered some major brain fog and fatigue from leaving out the starches I'm not used to being able to have. Sweet potatoes are your friend. Also, put your time in on the prepping before hand so that you don't have to play catch up when you're tired and cranky during the first days like I'm doing.

Rebekah L Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I also started today. I'm also quite nervous but also very excited at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cknits Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Today is my start day as well. I, too, picked up the book, as well as a couple of cookbooks and am tagging the recipes in them that are Whole30 compliant. Breakfast of eggs cooked in avocado halves was excellent.

JamBre Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 How's everyone doing? Today is day 5! Today 3 was SO hard for me. I really thought I was going to quit...but I didn't!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadicea Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Day 5 is down now, which makes it easier to think about completing the first week! Congratulations for hanging in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cknits Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It's going okay for me. Food is starting to taste a little differently, in a good way. I noticed this morning that I had less appetite and I actually enjoyed my coffee black. I am nervous about this weekend. On Saturday I'm going out of town for the day and having lunch out with my mom. I've been searching all the possible places in Minneapolis that might have something compliant that would also satisy her and my husband's tastes. Then on Saturday night, back in town, my nephews will be here, from out of state, for dinner and then breakfast the next morning. I don't want to eat out twice in a day and so I am looking for a recipe that can be prepped in advance and then just popped in the oven to cook when we get back from Mom's.

Rebekah L Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I've also noticed food tasting a little differently. Overall, I've felt ok I have had more headaches than normal. I've already learned that planning is key. On Monday's I meet up with friends for dinner and to watch the Bachelorette so last night I ate dinner before hand and brought some carrots as a snack. It still was really hard to say no though when my friend brought out fresh baked cookies. I managed to stay strong though. cknits - for your prepped meal, one that I really enjoy that has almost no prep at all is this Crispy Italian Chicken Thighs Recipe (http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/12/13/crispy-italian-chicken-thighs/) add a vegetable on the side and you're all set. It's really yummy and easy to change the spices based on your preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cknits Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Rebekah, thanks for the chicken thigh recipe. It is just what I've been looking for. Since the oven will be over 400, I can roast some root vegetables with olive oil and rosemary and add a salad and be all set. I appreciate your help. And, nice job avoiding the fresh baked cookie temptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadicea Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm going to have to eat out tomorrow night. I will be able to have a snack beforehand so I won't be too hungry at the restaurant, which I think will help me make better choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekah L Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Overall, so far I'm doing ok. Where I'm struggling is in the mornings for breakfast. Try as I might I'm always running behind, does anyone have suggestions for a make ahead grab and go type of breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadicea Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I really quite like hardboiled eggs and have been having them frequently for breakfast. Does that qualify as grab and go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Overall, so far I'm doing ok. Where I'm struggling is in the mornings for breakfast. Try as I might I'm always running behind, does anyone have suggestions for a make ahead grab and go type of breakfast? Breakfast muffins (eggs & chopped veg/bacon etc whisked up & cooked in muffin trays) are good for 'grab and go' or an egg/veggie/ground meat frittata, cooked in advance, and cut into serving sized wedges. If you do go down this route make sure that each serving (or the total of the muffins you eat) have enough protein in them, remembering that when eggs are your only source of protein you should be eating the number of whole eggs you can hold in one hand - which is 3-4 for most females.

Rebekah L Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've been doing the hard boiled eggs but I can only eat so many of those. I'm going to have to give those breakfast muffins a shot. That sounds like a great plan! Thanks for the suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadicea Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The breakfast muffins do sound delicious! I've been finding that 3 eggs work well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekah L Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The breakfast muffins do sound delicious! I've been finding that 3 eggs work well for me. Yea I'd only been eating two eggs and then I read about the hand thing and upped it to three today and that was so much better. I didn't get my mid-morning munchies today!

boadicea Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah, it took me a few days to realise how much I need for breakfast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
