Renee626 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Off with Day 3 I'm feeling like I CAN DO THIS but when will this energy kick in? I feel SO EXHAUSTED!

jmcbn Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sweet potatoes are great, but they WILL continue to feed your Sugar Dragon, and if you lead a sedentary lifestyle or have blood sugar issues they should be eaten in moderation.If you really want to show that Sugar Dragon who is boss reach for some fat every time you have a craving that won't pass. Some olives, a spoonful of coconut oil.... Only fat & protein will stamp out those sugar cravings - nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee626 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 I dont eat meat my options are very limited I dont live a sendetary lifestyle I'm currently running 3-6 miles a day, doing Insanity, and Lifting. Protein is very difficult for me as right now I usually have a plain veggie burger, protein shake, veggie bacon etc but thats not allowed I don't THINK so I've been trying to fuel off potatoes eggs LOTS of veggies of course, and limited nuts...any suggestions for other ways to get protein?

jmcbn Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Nuts are actually a fat source on Whole30, not a protein. Potatoes of all varieties are carbs. Do you eat fish? There are all kinds of varieties, and tinned fish like sardines, tuna, mackerel & salmon can be fairly economical and used in many ways - fish cakes, salads, fried, chowder etc.For the cravings - a fat on it's own will do perfectly fine - olives, mayo, oil of any kind, avocado, coconut milk/cream/flakes, lard, tallow, schmaltz....Just be wary of relying too heavily on nuts as a fat source as they can be particularly hard on the digestive system and have a poor omega 3:6 ratio.Oh, and drink plenty of water! A half an ounce per pound of body weight is the daily recommendation ETA: Veggie burgers/bacon would be out as they would be processed & most likely contain soy. Protein shakes also contain off plan ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
