stacymatt Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 i'm on day 6 of my 3rd Whole 30 and I can't find anything to sate my appetite. It's not like I'm having particular cravings for non-kosher food, it's simply that nothing I have made in the last 4 days has left me feeling full/content/sated. It's not even like I've laid up on food prep. I've made lovely filet with coconut/kale salad; curry chicken salad, flank steak beef jerky but none of that has left me satisfied. Anyone else?

Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 6, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2016 Can you give us more specifics on what you've been eating (include portions), meal timing etc? We can then give more directed feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurathegoth Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Eat more? I'm on day 5 and eating loads, definitely the bigger end of the meal template (2 portions protein, 3+ cups veggies). Don't forget the fat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacymatt Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Curry chicken salad (obviously with homemade mayo); regular chicken salad with grapes, pepitos, celery; homemade meatballs; turkey meatloaf muffins; eggs with avocado/tomatoes and salad. As for portions, I am in no way restricting how much of that I'm eating and as for timing, well, that varies. Sometimes I have a boiled egg first thing in the morning but typically I have black coffee with some almonds and figs and then have a heavy workout (4 to 5 mile run followed by a crossfit workout). I just can't seem to find something to fill me up that leaves me saying,'ahhhhhh, delicious.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 6, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2016 Check in with yourself, what is your body asking for? What would feel "aaaaahhhh, delicious'? Are you using enough salt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 ^ I direct you to my post above. Lol. Fat is satiating. If you already think you are getting plenty of veggies & protein ~ the key to satiety is to UP your fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 6, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2016 That's a pretty hefty workout. In addition to your PreWO hardboiled egg, are you also eating a PostWO meal AND Meal 1? That's what would be appropriate. Our recommendation for PreWO is protein and/or fat. You want to skip the high carb fruits or veggies preWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
