jackiemw Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hi, I'm starting the whole 30 on September 1st, really looking forward to it. I need to re-boot my system and if I lose a few pounds too...fabulouso! Is anyone else out there doing it for the first time? Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatinana Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 First timer here! Not even half way through my first day. I've been glued to the forums between meals and snacks to keep focused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted August 30, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2016 @Tatinana - consider that if you are wanting best possible results you should be following both the rules and recommendations and we recommend not snacking. Eating your template meals 4-5 hours apart, if they are built correctly, should negate needing to snack. There's lots of reading in my signature below.

Tatinana Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I didn't know snacking was not recommended! I did some research before starting but kind of just jumped into it. I had cucumbers a bit after breakfast/before lunch @ladyshanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted August 30, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2016 @Tatinana - ya, so check out the meal template. The idea is to make your meals large enough and well-composed so that you can go 4-5 hours without having to eat again. This gives your system a chance to process what you're putting in, distribute the nutrients and then "rest". Our digestive systems aren't meant to be running all day long which is what they have to do if you are eating every 2-3 hours. If you do need something between meals while you are figuring out the best meal size and composition for yourself, the recommendation is to have a mini meal or at least either fat and protein or protein and veggies. Just those cucumbers isn't going to do anything for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatinana Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Okay I will check it out and tweak my meal plan for the week! Thank you @ladyshanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
