bebeaccia Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Day 31 - Results Non Scale Victories - Broke up 30+ year habit of artificial sweeteners (put it on everything from coffee, tea, yogurt, fruit, smoothies, etc.) More energy Sleeping more soundly Cooked amazing gourmet foods Ate until content (no starving or calorie restrictions) Very little actual hunger Not starving in between meals No weigh in every day feeling that awful feeling of defeat or elation based on the number Scale VictoryLost 4 pounds (yes I wanted more… was hoping for 10, but have to consider the fact that I was sick for at least 20 of days of the 30 day program and while being sick did not cause me to eat off plan, the meds I took may have contributed… i.e.., very strong antibiotics, steroids, and inhaler). For today….Will likely reintroduce dairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvFlyGirl Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Congratulations on your Whole 30! I have 6 days left to go. I'm thinking I'd like to reintroduce dairy first as well. While I can drink my coffee black I so enjoyed my flavored creamers. Who knows, maybe I won't like it as much now. And cheese, I do want cheese! Please continue to post how you do with the reintroduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebeaccia Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Congratulations on your Whole 30! I have 6 days left to go. I'm thinking I'd like to reintroduce dairy first as well. While I can drink my coffee black I so enjoyed my flavored creamers. Who knows, maybe I won't like it as much now. And cheese, I do want cheese! Please continue to post how you do with the reintroduction. Good morning LuvFlyGirl: This morning I reintroduced some plain greek yogurt. Historically I would have used stevia to sweeten it with, but this morning I had it like this: Maybe 3/4 of a cup of Fage Plain 0% greek yogurt 1 T Chia seeds maybe 5 raw walnuts I orange cut up MIxed it all up and the first bite was AMAZING... it tasted so sweet to me which was a total surprise as I fully expected it to be bitter. Now I'm waiting to see how I feel. I need to see if this awakens any sugar dragons or any other cravings and if it sustains me. I'm def not ready to add anything in my coffee. I always had flavored sweetener AND stevia in my coffee. DEF not something I was to reintroduce. I'm going to try really hard to keep my coffee black and not use it as a reward of any kind. Will keep you posted on the reintro. Good luck to you on your final 6 days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvFlyGirl Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Tomorrow is Day 30! I'm really enjoying this and almost a little apprehensive about reintroduction, silly I'm sure. I actually have had very few and very fleeting cravings. I count myself lucky as I know others have struggled in that area. The challenge for me will be eating out I think. Also my husband wants to reintroduce different things than I do, so a cooking challenge there as well. I also did the flavored sweetener AND stevia, lol! I'm sure I can skip the stevia even though I still have a hard time wrapping my head around it not being ok. I have done a pantry cleaning during this time and tossed a bunch of not so great for you items. Many had sat there so long they were expired so not a great loss, should have used them when I bought them! So, it's been a few days of reintroduction for you. Still going ok?
