Tucker's Whole30 Log


Guest tucker

Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my Day 1 and I thought I was ready, but I ended up setting the reset button for an honest mistake.   I drank a cup of tea, using a tea bag from Good Earth.   It turns out that the tea bag had Stevia in it.  I did check the ingredient list before I drank it.   The ingredients were vague (i.e. misleading) and didn't mention Stevia.  Only after digging online today, I realized that the misleading label is hiding Stevia.   At least it was Day 1 and not Day 15, but embarrassing to start over so soon.

Tucker,, come on , read up , get your information right..  No smoothies, no protein powder..   What are you looking at for guide  lines to the program?

The moderators can plug in the meal template and hopefully will… What you're suppose to eat is  1 to 2 palm full's of protein  1-3 cups of veggies and 1-2 table spoons of Fat   3 times a day…      Cruise the boards and it will give you a better sense of what to do and What not to do!  :) :) :)

You got some great advice on yesterday's log.

 

May I suggest that instead of starting a new log each day, you continue to log here, so your whole month's worth of tracking is all in one place? It will be easier for you to keep track of, and easier for others to help if you need advice.

Thank you Shannon for your positive input.  My log has been combined.  I do so much better with positive feedback instead of negative "shouting" about the rules and insincere emojis. You made me feel better.  

I hope you didn't think my smiley face was insincere. I use them to make sure you know it was not griping or "telling".  I was just trying to note some things that I have read and is whole30. Trust me, I am on Day 16 and it is a learning process everyday!  If I could just tackle those damn cashews everything would be great!  Good luck to you on your journey!

You should stick to following the program….You never answered my initial  question of where you were getting your information. Whole 30 is clearly a no smoothies, no protein powder program…  The moderators have great patience. I'm just an average joe blow that speaks her mind.. My first post was not meant to upset you at all, you choose to read it that way.. My second post to you was with sarcasm..  Just so we're clear now :)

Tucker, you're really not eating enough -- you don't need to focus on the calories, just follow the meal template. You're eating the right things, just not in the best possible ratios and amounts.

 

When you have eggs as your only source of protein, have as many whole eggs as you can hold in your hand -- likely 3-4. Maybe more.  Or if you don't want that many eggs, make up some sausage or something to have with them. And have vegetables at every meal -- 1-3 cups.

 

I'd also caution you on the amount of nuts you're eating (and that includes the almond milk -- it doesn't still look like almonds, but it's almonds). They're an okay fat source, but not the greatest -- their omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is not very good, they're often a food without brakes for people (meaning a food that it's really easy to eat way too many of, because it's easy to continue eating them past the point of satiety), and they sometimes cause digestive issues for people. Try including olives or avocadoes or coconut instead. Or make up some sauces and dips. Mayo is a good one to start with, and from it you can make a bunch of others. Or make olive oil based sauces, like chimichurri sauce or Moroccan Dipping Sauce (it's under the chicken recipe, just scroll down).

 

I've been hesitant to offer suggestions, I know there were some issues with people before, but believe me when I say, I'm suggesting these things because I believe it will make your Whole30 experience better, and regardless of how things sometimes come across, most people here on the forum truly do want you to have the best possible experience with this.
