swithy Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 This is my 2nd Whole 30! The first time, I kept a food log in a notebook, but this time, I thought it would be fun to record what I'm eating here. Also, I love sharing recipes, so I will post my favorites here. Day 1 I started yesterday, but because I was out of town all weekend, I didn't have any time to prepare (except mentally). That said, I think I got through it ok, although I didn't eat enough of anything so I was a bit hungry. M1: Two hard-boiled eggs, handful of stringbeans (I know, I needed to eat more than that) M2: 1 (very large) chicken sausage, raw cauliflower, coconut & cashews M3: Sardinian sausage sauce over spiralized sweet potato and zucchini noodles Day 2 (only had breakfast so far, but here's what's planned for the rest of the day) M1: 2 scrambled eggs with 1/2 chicken sausage, sauteed mushrooms and spinach, cucumbers, a couple blueberries M2: leftover Sardinian sausage sauce over spiralized sweet potato and zucchini noodles M3: Grilled pork chops (in a rosemary brine according to the recipe here), cabbage slaw from the Whole 30 book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B: scrambled eggs with cucumbers and baby carrots L: leftover chicken saltimboca and chicken/olive&lemon, potatoes, kale salad D: leftover chicken with olive & lemon, kale salad My reintroduction plan for tomorrow: non-gluten grains (oatmeal with breakfast, rice with lunch, corn with dinner). On Saturday, reintroducing either dairy or gluten, undecided. I know from my last W30 that legumes have little effect on me, but that I also eat very little of them, so not bothering to bring them back for a while till the other groups are out of the way.

swithy Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hello Day 31! Gonna keep tracking here for a few days to see how things are going with my reintros. B: 1/4 cup oatmeal, pork patty, drop of maple syrup I made these vegan raw chocolate chip cookie dough bites out of cashews, oats, maple syrup and vanilla extract and ate one (yeah, I couldn't wait for the closest thing to a cookie). 3 hours later, I have heartburn. Already! My guess is it's the oats... not liking it! L: leftover chicken with olive & lemon, white rice D: Went out to celebrate at a Mexican place! Corn tortilla chips with guacamole and salsa. Corn tortilla tacos with cornmeal dusted shrimp, kale and onions. Grilled corn (no cheese). Rice. 1 glass of Cava. S: 1 cookie dough bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swithy Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 B: pork patty S: cookie dough ball - got heartburn again L: leftover chicken with lemon & olive S: chocolate D: ribs and kale salad, corn on the cob, bbq sauce had soy in it, watermelon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swithy Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 So, I ended up having non-gluten grains again yesterday. For one thing, I want to know what's causing the heartburn. I had no effects from corn/rice, so it's definitely from the cookie dough ball - oats/cashews and maple syrup or chocolate chips. Well, I had chocolate when I got home from work, and no reaction. This morning I decided to have just oatmeal for breakfast - no syrup. No reaction. So now it's either gotta be the maple syrup, or the cashews? I ate plenty of cashews my first W30 and never noticed heartburn, but I just realized I didn't have hardly any this time around. So perhaps it's the nuts. Or the syrup. But if it is the syrup, why???? Also - I don't plan to eat oatmeal for breakfast anymore. I quit eating morning carbs several months before my first Whole 30 to help with mid-morning and mid-afternoon slump. And right now, I am slumping... B: plain oatmeal. L: finally finished the chicken with lemon and olive D: chicken paillard with corn and squash salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swithy Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 This weekend I went a little off the rails. I kind of planned for it--I planned to start a Whole 30 that would end a few days before my trip to the state fair. And here was that trip. I had a good health first two meals Saturday--pork patty for breakfast, leftover chicken paillard with corn salad for lunch. Then I got to the fair, and surprised myself with how not-crazy I went. I had kind of a meatloaf made of brisket which was pretty good and protein-y. And corn on the cob (haven't been having any issues with corn). Shared with friends a couple bites of french fries, rice krispy treat, and mac n cheese, but not very much of each. My indulgence was an ice cream bar and it was totally worth it. Had two hard ciders (gluten free). But then things went a little haywire when I got a giant bucket of cookies to take back with me for work. I had one, and then couldn't stop...for two days. I probably ate 20 of those little things between Sat and Sun. I also ended Saturday night with a piece of pizza and some wine. So yeah, things started out ok, but kind of spiraled. I kept telling myself it was fine to have one day where you just have what you want and don't feel guilty, but then on Sunday, I continued with bad eating. THAT's the problem... one day IS fine, but when it leads to another and another, not fine. Yesterday: B: sausage and eggs with one mini gluten free pancake, a little maple syrup (no heartburn). L: 1/2 fried pork tenderloin sandwich with fries, ketchup and mayo, bloody mary S: chocolate peanut butter malt --eeek dairy D: the other 1/2 of that sandwich and fries, some corn salad S: more cookies So today, I am back on the Whole 30 + corn for three days. Sorry, it's the end of the summer, not giving up any more corn! I have some plans Thursday and Friday that will take me off W30 but will stay 75% on plan those days. B: pork patty and 2 eggs, cucumbers L: leftover chicken paillard with corn salad, cucumbers D: chicken sausage sauce with spiral zucchini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swithy Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Aaaaand we're back. After the State Fair, and then two visits to ANOTHER state fair, and then 2 weeks of vacation in two fabulous food cities, a birthday, a wedding, a retirement, I'm done. I can't eat that stuff anymore. I feel sick/bloated/heartburn constantly. And I came home from vacay and weighed myself -- up 7 lbs in 18 days. Cake twice a day will do that to a person. So, I'm back on W30, this time for a W40--I plan to end on Oct 20, exactly a year since I began my weight-loss. But I'm not even counting the days this time. I'm just doing it all day everyday. Goals this time around: 1 - rely less on white potatoes, which I love but can't be all that great for me 2 - more leafy greens instead of watery veggies like cucumber, lettuce - not only better for me, but less environmental impact 3 - more squash and veggies of varying colors besides green (not my favorite goal, as I don't like sweet foods in my savory meals, but gotta do it for health) B: 3 egg omelet/kale and tomato/olive oil L: chicken sausage tomato sauce/spiralized zucchini and sweet potato/olive oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swithy Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 I didn't eat dinner last night because I slept through it!

Today: B: tuna/celery and onion/mayo L: leftover chicken sausage sauce/broccoli/olive oil D: orange beef/broccoli/sesame oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
