Jon Ball Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Today was day 1. breakfast was the same as usual. 1/2 baked spud, 1 habanero, about 1 T onion, 1 clove garlic --- all chopped up and cooked in coconut oil with 2 eggs. took a couple of carrots and an apple for lunch.....i ended up being out 'til dinner. dinner was a ground turkey patty. 1/2 of it on a loose leaf green salad with green onion, broccoli, and shredded carrot. The other 1/2 cooked into a frittata made with 2 eggs, jalapenos, onion, garlic, sambal oelek. desert was a small glass of apple cider. feel good. 1st day is easy. already craving potato chips and a corn dog. I just realized that the oelek has potassium sorbate in it. Guess i will have to make my own. I am still counting this as day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Ball Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 so, I have to start over. seems that peanuts are not on the list. I goofed. been doing very well except for that. so, 30 more days, this time with no peanuts, starting now. eating a lot of veggies, some fruit and healthy meat. still no caffeine. working a lot of shift work = 16 to 18 hour days. makes it difficult to maintain. plus at work seems to be bringing in my favorite non30's. I am always hungry. but have plenty of energy, cant sleep well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I am always hungry. There is no reason for you to be hungry on a Whole30 unless you've been eating lunches like the ones you described above with the carrots & the apple - I'd be chewing on my desk if I was relying on that to keep me full!! Follow the recommended meal template of 1-2 palm sized (YOUR palm) pieces of protein, 1-3 cups of veg (with 3 being optimum) and a generous serving of a healthy fat at each meal & you won't be hungry any more. Honestly, eat (although do try to move away from the dessert mindset) - you'll feel SO much better. Shame about the peanuts, but good on you for committing to start over - positive mental attitude!!

Jon Ball Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 so, day 2 of my restart. feeling good. The previous post about my "lunches" were because i was caught out longer than planned for, so my snack became lunch. i always carry a snack in case the day goes long. usually carrots, sliced raw yams, and an apple. i made my own sambal oelek for flavoring - used habanero (I like caribbean spice/heat), white vinegar, salt, and a bit of garlic. yummy. should last a month or so. also made my first batch of homemade mayo and avocado mayo for spread and salad dressing, made with light olive oil. learning some new things.

Jon Ball Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 still going strong. day 15 of the restart. had thai red curry w/chicken for dinner/breakfast (depending on whose schedule you're on) will have a giant salad with turkey lunch - around 2 am. raw almonds and an apple for a snack. have only had caffeine once since November, and that was because I had to pull an unexpected double.

Jon Ball Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 well, it is the 21st day of my 30, and I feel like crap. had chicken soup at a Mexican restaurant with the mrs. I checked and it looked perfect for the 30. Something must have been in the soup, today my stomach is hard as a rock and very tender. No energy, feel terrible. could be getting sick, but the hard belly tells me it is food related. Going to a naturopath next week for a blood work-up on food allergies. I am not starting over at this point. just being careful to be very diligent about the next 11 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Ball Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 So I fixed the trouble by cooking my veggies except for the salads of course. I fished my 1st 30 a couple of weeks ago. It is going ok so far. However, I got the results of my for allergy test back. Gluten,dairy, shrubs,radish, and......eggs. eggs are severe on my list. The naturopath say that my body might reset itself if I go 90 days with out eating my trigger foods. This does not apply to eggs because they are too high on my reaction list. I am at a bit of a loss. I've eaten eggs all of my life. They are a staple food for me. At least goat cheese is ok. I am wrapping my head around a whole 90. Not exactly ready to commit yet. I am still going over my diet plans. After I get a semi-90 day menu worked out I will give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
