Shaunna Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks Johnny. I should add that I wake up hungry almost every morning and eat a good sized meal with carbs (veggies), fats and protein. Then I don't feel hungry for another 4-5 hours and I've noticed a pattern where I am NOT hungry at all for dinner and the thought of food doesn't even cross my mind. It's usually dinner that I'm not hungry for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley E. Bean Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm inspired by your journey....I'm on Day 2 and find that after my meals, approximately 60-90 minutes, I'm hungry again !! I've tried increasing my portion sizes slightly, but then I'm too full to finish.....I'm already noticing benefits though, such as reduced bloating and gas following meals ) (this has become a major driving force in my starting W30) On a side note: Plantain chips are W30 approved ?????? I love those things !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those things !! Thanks Shelley! I can't believe I'm already on day 22. Please note that when I do eat plantain chips, I have 5-10 and then I put them away. I use them for emergencies! If you are constantly hungry I would suggest increasing your vegetable intake at each meal. When I eat vegetables they take up almost half of my plate. I try my best to eat them with breakfast, lunch and dinner! I'm actually going to go cook some brussel sprouts, kale and swiss chard for tomorrow since I work 12 hours. Good luck to you, please check back in frequently with updates! That is one of the key points for success (for me at least!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE coconut flakes as a snack. It is so satisfying:) Hits every craving, sweet, crunchy, fatty, satisfying mmmmmm Hi Keren! I feel great and have been trying my best to remind myself to eat, even if it's just a few bites of protein or veggie here and there. It has helped! Although, I haven't had dinner yet and I'm not hungry one bit. It's so strange! And I wonder how often we can eat the coconut flakes? I am officially addicted!! How are you feeling! Can you believe tomorrow is day 25!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaunna Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 I know! Can you believe it? I have to be honest, I'm totally looking forward to a cheat meal the day after I finish my whole30! Just pizza & red wine... I really want to eat this way indefinitely, though, so I'm going to start another whole 30 on June 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaunna Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Today is Day 30! Yay! Even though it's not the END of day 30, I still weighed myself and I've lost 15 lbs! My skin has improved tons, less acne/breakouts/oily/dry skin. And the number one thing for me - NO MIGRAINES! I suffer from a migraine at least twice a month and I didn't have any during my whole30. I usually have bad anxiety and get anxiety attacks randomly, usually once or twice a week and my anxiety is way, way down! It feels great. I also have lots of energy now, much more than I did pre-whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
