Naz786 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I made it through Day 1! I weighed and measured myself this morning. I knew I had put on significant amount of weight but I didn't realize how much until I actually saw the numbers. My weight gain always happens because of binge eating and I'm hoping to fix that through whole30. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. I did have a slight headache but that eventually went away. I actually feel "lighter" today as opposed to the heavy feeling i would have by the end of the day. For meal 1 I had 2 cups of cauliflower rice with chicken in a tomato based curry. I topped that with a Pico DE Gallo style chutney. I also had a cup of steamed broccoli on the side and a mug of green tea. About 4.5 hours later for meal 2, I had salad with cubes of chicken and the greens from a kale salad mix I got from Costco. I also diced a red delicious apple and added a large pinch of walnuts with 2 tbsp of citrus vinaigrette. Then for meal 3 I repeated the cauliflower rice and the chicken from breakfast but I also added baby carrots to the broccoli and orange slices seasoned with black pepper on the side. I'm almost to my water goal but I still have some time to reach that while I relax. This is the time that'll be hard to get through. This is normally the time I watch TV and eat random stuff. I've got my water bottle next to me to help overcome the cravings. Day 1 is almost done and now to tackle day 2! I hope I make it through day 30!

IamSteph Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey Naz, I hope you are making it through your first night successfully! I am also doing the W30 because I am in a habit of getting home in the evening and watching tv after dinner and binge eating, even though I'm not hungry. Today was my unofficial first attempt at doing this and I did really well during the day except that I couldn't tell when I was eating just to eat or when I was hungry. Because it was a holiday, my meal times were off, so this did't help. This evening, it was so hard to resist my normal habits...I ended up eating an avocado with salt on it- totally delicious and I don't feel guilty like I normally would, but I really want to break that habit. Good luck to us both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz786 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Steph! My first and second days went really well so far! But yeah I have a similar issue where I don't know if I'm still hungry or it's just how you're supposed to be full and not overstuffed. How did you do?

Naz786 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Day 2 conquered!!!!! I still feel pretty good. No headaches today! And I actually had more energy! Meal 1: Two spicy tuna cakes sandwiches. I used eggplant slices as sandwich buns! Topped with some romaine lettuce, whole30 mayo, and whole30 ketchup. Had some steamed broccoli and green tea. Meal 2: The mixed greens from Costco with chicken breast cubes, diced apple, a large in pinch of walnuts and 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette. Meal 3: Two cups of cauliflower rice with chicken and spinach topped with a pico de gallo style chutney. Had some steamed broccoli and baby carrots and an orange on the side. I'm making myself super conscious of eating the orange with dinner. I don't want my brain to think of it as dessert. That has become a BIG weakness for me. As soon as I would finish a meal I would look for something sweet to complete it-no matter how full I was. So far going well...so on to Day 3!

Naz786 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Day 3 is done!!!! Today I didn't feel as good as I did yesterday. It still wasn't too bad but between meal 1 and meal 2, I had a headache. It wasn't too bad and went away after meal 2. I still miss my comfort "junk". Other than that everything else is going well. Meal 1: Two spicy tuna cakes with eggplant buns, romaine lettuce, mayo, and ketchup with a side of broccoli. Oh and a mug of green tea Meal 2: Kale salad mix with chicken breast cubes, diced apple, large pinch of walnuts, and 2 tbsps of Asian vinaigrette. Meal 3: Two cups of cauliflower rice with chicken and spinach topped with Pico DE Gallo style chutney. Had some steamed broccoli and baby carrots. Also had an orange. Keeping up with my water goals. I still am having a hard time getting used to this new feeling of being full. Since I feel "lighter", I almost get confused thinking am I hungry. I drink a good amount of water and think would I be able to eat broccoli at the time. That helps a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyriel Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Half way there. Way to go! Seriously. Also, kudos on eating whatever sounds good for breakfast and not trying to make it "breakfasty". That's a lesson that a lot of folks don't even consider till about day 16 when they're sick and tired of eggs. I don't see a lot of fat in your meals, though maybe it's just hidden in the cuts of meat and the cooking oils that maybe aren't listed. If you aren't getting hungry between meals you're probably in fine shape, but if you're struggling to make it from one to the next that's something to consider. You're meals look tasty.

I've never been a fan of eggs. My fats in meal 1 are in the cooking oils, meal 2 are in the vinaigrettes, meal 3 are in the cooking oils. I don't get hungry between meals except when it's almost time to eat. It's like body knows my schedule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
