primalamy Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Day 1 is done. Breakfast was fried eggs and a banana. Lunch was a stir fry with veggies and sausage. Dinner was baked chicken and green beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuilterInVA Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Primalamy, your menu is not following the meal template. You need 1-3 cups of vegetables and 1-2 thumbs of fat before any fruit is eaten. You have no fat with your m2 and m3. Cooking fat does not count since most of it is left in the pan. Again the meal template is 1-2 palms of protein + 1-3 cups of veggies and you should be closer to the 3 cups most of the time + 1-2 thumbs of fat. Have you read the information under the Whole30 tab?

Any suggestions on brands and products that are whole30 or a place where I can find that resource? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesar Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi there - I just started today! I just heard about this yesterday and decided I would like to try to get to October 30. I am looking for support/other people sharing this with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetnFitr Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Day 1 of my first Whole30: Done. I made it thru my witching hour(s) 4-8pm without any trouble. Usually, that's when my cravings come out in full force, and I lose all sense of willpower. Not tonight though, and boy! Is that a relief. Here's to us and getting thru day one!

My boyfriend and I are giving it a shot to jumpstart eating healthier and just getting healthier. Any suggestions on brands and products that are whole30 or a place where I can find that resource? Your best bet is to buy fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits (more vegetables than fruits, though), raw meats, and good quality oils and fats like olive oil (extra virgin for salads/sauces, light olive oil for making mayo), coconut oil, macadamia nut oil, or avocado oil, or lard or tallow from grass-fed or pastured animals. Anything that comes in a container with an ingredients label, you'll have to read the label and ensure it doesn't contain anything that is against the rules. There are some other resources linked in my signature that I'd encourage you to check out if you haven't already, and if you have questions about specific items, googling Whole30 plus whatever you're wondering about will usually turn up answers -- but if you try that and can't find anything, come back to the forum and ask.

GetnFitr Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Good Morning Everyone! My feet didn't hurt when I woke up this morning. This has plagued me for two years, so I'm pretty excited to experience something like this right off the bat. I realize this might be a fluke but it's a fluke I'll gladly accept this morning. Any of you notice any changes this morning? Wishing you all a good 2nd day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippers Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm in! Second time doing W30 but first one (2+ years ago) I was not super strict about and didn't really get the results I was looking for (my own fault.) I started yesterday and felt great all day after an enjoyable evening shopping, cooking and prepping. Felt a little hungry in parts but drank a lot of water and stuck to my set meals: scrambled eggs with coconut oil, a pear; followed by steak, potatoes and snow peas for lunch. Had small amounts of almonds, macadamias and one piece of dried mango as well as some apples and more snow peas as a snack, followed by bareburger (bison burger with no sauce wrapped in collard greens) for dinner. Overall a good day. Woke up this morning (day 2) feeling crazy anxious, worse than I can remember in a while. I'm sure it's just the shitty things detoxing from my body but wondering if anyone else is experiencing this feeling. It's pretty bad. Still, made eggs, tomatoes and shallots into a scramble served with Chicken and Apple sausage with breakfast, and I feel good (as in, not hungry) just still really, really anxious. Lots of factors here but imagine the new diet has a significant amount to do with it. Lunch will be the same as yesterday; dinner will probably be a small snack and more eggs depending on how late i get home from work. Good luck everyone. Let's do this.

chelseaspring Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Count me in, too. First Whole 30 and really looking forward to getting a handle on my sweet tooth! Even though I generally eat pretty healthy and am still getting my CSA, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the time required to cook and prep and plan!

I didn't realize that I had so many sugar crutches until I read the not allowed list - sugarless gum anyone? Sugarless gum has artificial sweeteners in it. No gum while on your Whole30.

QuilterInVA Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Lippers, you need 1-3 cups of veggies with your breakfast. You can't push them off your plate with fruit. Veggies come first. You need 3 full meals following the template 1-2 palms protein, 1-3 cups of vegetables and 1-2 thumbs of fat no matter what time you are eating. A snack isn't a meal.

MargaretAnn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Day 2 and I am still feeling confident! Especially since I planned ahead for a take-a-long breakfast and passed on all the pastries and bagels and cream cheese that were draped across the tables of our annual company meet & greet this morning. Yay me! So glad I did lots of reading and ramping up for this during September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetnFitr Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Great Job MargaretAnn! That's a rough go having to pass by tables full of pastries and the like when you're only on Day 2. Phew! Sounds like your preparedness paid of in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetnFitr Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Good day 2 for me. I had a few too many dates apparently, and a few too many nuts which I'd mistakenly used as protein source, but other than that, I'd say it was a really good day. No Diet coke and no sugar for 2 solid days--that's huge. Hope you all are doing well, and feeling good. I have to admit my will power regarding the Diet Cokes is becoming a bit slushy, so tomorrow will be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could get something like that around here. I live in the south where everything is breaded and/or fried and they think you are nuts if you try to order a healthy meal.
