Melodyf Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 So it is day 15, and I know it is NOT a Whole15. I am just not seeing any changes in my body, or energy levels. I generally eat pretty clean to begin with, but I generally do eat legumes, dairy and a nightly glass of wine. I am not a huge vegetable lover, especially cooked veggies so I have been eating what I call ingredients. I have my protein, and then usually raw bell peppers, celery, tomatoes etc. I have been making soups and sneaking in extra veggies that are not on the recipe i.e. cauliflower and brussel sprouts to get more veggies in my diet. I have a salad pretty much every night with dinner and have made certain there is spinach and cabbage as well as lettuce. I make my own home made vinaigrette with garlic, whole30 approved mustard, various vinegars spices and then either olive or avocado oil. I drink 100 oz of water a day. I usually spend 1 day of the weekend cooking and prepping for the week - make soup or chili or both, make mayo or ranch dressing. So, I am in the later half of my 50's and post menopausal. I'm generally full after eating and can easily make the 4-5 hours between meal. I do not as a rule eat any snacks, but I do tend to nibble while I'm cooking. My daughter thinks I am not eating enough, but I am feeling full. Here is my logs for the past 15 days - all of my bacon, sausage and beef comes from US wellness meats.
