Whole 30 Round Dos

Recommended Posts

I did my first round of Whole30 from June 1 - July 2 and loved it. I didn't do a proper reintroduction because of weddings, holidays, and birthdays. Besides the events I ate paleo but could feel myself falling back into old habits. Since my facebook group decided to do a DietBet, I figured that I start a new Round of Whole30 during this time.

 

Goals this round

-snack less

-lose 4% fat

-do more mindful eating aka not eat in front of the TV so often

 

Day 1 - July 13

BF: Pork chorizo, pasteurized eggs, and spinach wrapped in  romaine lettuce  

Lunch: Romaine leaf salad, tomatoes, cucumber, and chicken salad made from homemade mayo

Dinner: No dinner. Very stress from worked and had no energy nor appetite

 

Day 2 - July 14

BF: Still stressed and no dinner but forced myself to eat a RxBar

Lunch: Roti Chicken Thigh and steamed broccoli

Dinner: Making Cracklin Chicken to serve with sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli

I like this! So hard at my place as we don't have a dining table, and my flatmate watches TV 24/7. But I'm equally guilty of eating breakfast while looking at my phone, and lunch while looking at my computer!

Day 3 - July 15

This stress thing is taking over and I seriously am forcing myself to eat :(

Workout: Heavy Squats and a short MetCon. Weights felt good but MetCon not so much.

Breakfast: Sweet Potato bc I wasn't hungry to eat the rest of my breakfast
Lunch: Chicken Thighs and Broccoli. Forgot to pack some source of fat and carb.
Dinner: Boiled Shrimp with potatoes and corn.

 

AM Workout: Back and Front Squats plus a 12 min AMRAP MetCon.

New Stats:

143lbs ⬇️ 145lbs

⬇️ 3.5lbs body fat

⬆️ 1.5lbs lean mass

⬇️ 2% body fat

 

Are these new stats for the start of this new round? Or are you taking these measurements on day three of your whole30? If it's the latter, please stop. These measurements are not permitted until day 30. This is not a recommendation, it is a rule. You are not the exception to the rule. The rule is specifically for you. If the DietBET requires this kind of logging it is incompatible with the whole30. 

 

You would also do well to review the meal template. This one is just a recommendation, but from what I have seen, following the meal template is the key to success for a lot of people. Skipping meals, having and Rx Bar in place of a meal or having an almond (or even several almonds) with coffee for breakfast is not going to encourage your body to release fat or to put on lean mass. Here is the template: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf

 

I know, it might seem harsh to tell you that you are breaking rules and should stop, but the only reason I am telling you this is because I actually believe in the program as written. It works extremely well for a lot of people, and by picking and choosing which rules to follow, you are actually robbing yourself of some of the major benefits. I want you to have all the benefits. I hope you decide to continue on 100%. good luck!

These stats are from the the end of my last Whole 30 which ended on July 2 to Thursday which is at the beginning of my new Whole 30 that I started this week. 

 

As for the meal template, I am going a off this week only because I have been incredibly stressed and haven't been able to stomach a lot of food. Thanks for the reminder. I know I should definitely stay with the template.

Great to hear you aren't taking stats. I was worried!

 

On the template, I find following it can actually help with stress--so I would encourage you to make an attempt anyway. Just put the rest of the template meal away when you can't finish it, and try to finish it when you think you can stomach more food. worth a try?
