Cajun Gypsy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I am on day 24 of my Whole30, and rather than tiger blood, I am having the headaches and weird dreams of days 2-10. Last night I dreamt I had eaten a sausage mcmuffin then lamented my mistake - because it truly was not intentional - because I ruined my whole30 so close to the end. I was truly relieved to wake up and realize it was a dream! I do have loads of energy - but at the same time feel I could sleep all day. I could go either way. But no tiger blood, sadly.

Jenny B Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Me either, no tiger blood. I am on Day 23. I find at night I am just so tired. But I think I was tired before! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The reality is, some folks never experience Tiger Blood on a Whole30. Read more about it and the different types of energy people have reported here. That all being said, if you'd like input on what you've been eating, post 2-3 days worth of your food log, including portion sizes, daily water consumption, nightly hours of sleep and any exercise, and folks here can give you feedback.

GFChris Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Did you have a meal 3 today? Meals look ok: are they keeping you satiated for 4-5 hours? Are you drinking at least 1/2 oz of water per pound of body weight, daily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Gypsy Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I drink so much water! Several pint glasses per day. M3 - coconut cauli-rice & stir-fry topped with cashews pan fried in coconut oil Yes - my meals keep me satiated. And I sleep about 8 hours.

jmcbn Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 'Several pint glasses' may not be enough. You need to be drinking at least half an ounce of water per pound of body weight so if you weigh 180lbs you need to be drinking 90 fl oz. There are only 16 US fl oz in a pint glass (20 imperial fl oz for those of us in the UK) so 90 fl oz would equate to more than 5 & 1/2 pint glasses minimum per day, more if you're active or it's particularly hot.Apart from that I'm ot seeing any starchy veg in your meals. The starch will help two-fold - it will help you feel less tired, and when taken later in the day (say with M3) will often help with sleep.

Cajun Gypsy Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Winding down on my day 30! I have finally cracked the code - all the wackiness I had experienced, the back and forth on the timeline symptoms, increased my fat and protein at each meal, and added a bit of starchy to my dinner meal - amazing what that little bit of starch can do! I sleep waaaaaaay better, and am less cranky, not fuzzy headed. YAY for that! What am I doing tomorrow, day 31? Well,for one, I am going to weigh myself! Then go for a walk! Then, saute some veggies in coconut oil and add some eggs to that, and some avocado and EAT IT. And have my left over whole 30 compliant dinner for lunch. I *will* have a glass of wine tomorrow night! With my whole 30 dinner. I want to stay mostly Whole30. See where that takes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
