mandikaye Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Hi all, I forgot that this forum was here as a form of support! Today is day 3, and while I woke up feeling super energized, all of that has gone down the drain. But I also haven't eaten much today because I had stuff to do this morning. I figured I'd catch up on posting my log here, and use this as a place to track what I eat. Day 1 Sausage and eggs with peppers and onions Salad with chicken, grape tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and homemade ranch, and roasted sweet potatoes with homemade ketchup A few bites of Bison Epic bites Day 2 Potatoes, sausage, eggs with peppers and onions, and applesauce Half a lemon LaraBar Chicken, mashed potatoes (sweet+white), brussels sprouts Day 3 Unsweetened Applesauce, Bacon Celery with Sunflower Butter, Strawberries And dinner will be steak with lizard sauce, leftover mashed potatoes, and a small salad I'm coming out of a sinus infection, so it's hard to tell if the headache I have today is from that or from Whole30 - but I'm betting it's the latter, especially since I just woke up from a nap with it.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted October 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2015 You'll get the best results from your Whole30 if you aim to make all your meals meet the meal template. So far, you don't seem to be eating enough. That could be part of why you have a headache now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandikaye Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 That is my goal - it was just a hectic weekend. Day 4 will look much better when I post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linven Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Keep trying! My biggest issue seems to be getting all the meals in. My mornings are problematic. I have a boiled egg and black coffee, then go work out. By the time I am home and making breakfast, it is close to lunch time. You can do this! I had a sporadic headache for the first 3 days. Usually a tylenol would take the edge off. Yesterday and today (d5), I feel pretty good. Was still feeling draggy yesterday, but today I feel pretty normal. Good luck!

mandikaye Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Day 4: Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with salsa (in a small amount of clarified butter), 2 homemade sausage patties, OJ Lunch: half a steak, leftover mashed taters (white/sweet mixed), strawberries, celery with sunflower butter Dinner: Salad with tomatoes, green peppers, sunflower seeds, and chicken breast Things I've learned: 1) Cold brewed coffee is AMAZING. And it got rid of my apparent caffeine headache in minutes. As soon as that headache was gone, I felt completely revitalized. 2) I can eat salads with less dressing now. I'm using the paleo ranch from the whole30 site, and it's GOOD - just a bit strong/tangy. I don't need nearly as much. 3) Sparkling water mixed with some fruit juice now tastes almost as good as soda, and I'm slowly decreasing the amount of juice (today was less than half).

mandikaye Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Day 5: SO did not stick to the template today. Meal prep is crucial, yeah? Breakfast: Lots of coldbrew coffee, half a beef Epic bar (they're so rich I can't handle more than a few bites) Lunch: Chicken breast and applesauce Dinner: 2 eggs cooked in clarified butter, bacon, strawberries No idea how that little food hasn't made me sick today.
