kaceface Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I decided to do a second round after getting derailed on vacation. I wanted to re-establish the routines of meal prep and cooking and get good at incorporating that into everyday life and long term habits. So, it's day 8 and I feel lousy. I am super tired and have had a headache for two days. I didn't get a hangover this time around and I didn't feel like killing all the things. But now it seems that those and the desire to nap forever are all combined on days 6-8. I guess I need encouragement first. I almost convinced myself to eat a peice of bread today because I'm just so tired and I know gluten doesn't bother me and all the excuses. Also, I was reading other posts and now I'm concerned that I'm not getting enough fat . I always count cooking fats, which I guess I'm not supposed to. And besides coconut milk or homemade almond milk in my coffee, a handful of olives and sometimes mayo there's not much else. In the past I would've gladly added a million avocados, but unfortunately I'm allergic now. So, any new ideas on how to add fat would be greatly appreciated.

Robin R. Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I just started but knew the fats at every meal would be hardest for me. I bought dry roasted cashew, macadamia nuts and deli olives, so that if nothing else has enough fat in it then I can have that. For breakfast I count the coconut milk ice cubes I put in my coffee. I put the basic viniagrette on all tossed salads and some veggies as a dressing. It has EVOO in it. Also toasted some almonds and put some on the top of my salad. Good Luck! I am only on Day 4 but I enjoy reading other's journeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
