MichelleK2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi everyone! I started the Whole 30 on 1/20 and am currently on Day 8. Would have joined online sooner but my computer had other ideas and needed some repair. Better late than never right? So far the food has been great, I have had absolutely no cheats (yay me!) and I've learned a lot about cooking. Boy, there is a lot of veggie chopping in this one! Venturing way outside my normal cooking comfort zone with lots of spices and it's fun! Only problem is I always seem to be hungry. Not sure why but I am. Anyone else have this happen? I am very happy to be here and to start my healthy journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50andstillhere Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Are you eating enough fat? Enough protein? I have been in your shoes and you just have to eat more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2017 Make sure all your meals match the meal template. Notice that the template mentions a range of sizes for protein & fat servings -- it is okay to eat to the upper end of the range if you need to. Don't skimp on the vegetables. Add fat in addition to what you cook in, especially if much of your cooking fat stays in the pan and isn't consumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleK2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Doing a bit better today as I upped the protein a bit. I figured I wasn't eating enough when I saw some of the daily logs people posted. I am still a bit hungry but dealing right now with more of old snacking habits that want to rear their ugly little heads. Like when watching a movie with my husband, we used to have a snack. I have amazingly little will power when it comes to snack foods. I am hoping the Whole 30 will help me reign that in. So far I have adhered strictly to the plan and have not cheated at all although temptation is huge! Especially when grocery shopping! I make my list and stick to it and then run from the store. I am going to make it through this program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50andstillhere Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Are you worried that you will lose too much weight ? Do you wake up in the middle of the night hungry? If you wake up hungry you really need to eat more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
