EJSmadhatter Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 So I have just found out that I have to go out of town:(( I am going to start again on Mon because since I will be living out of hotels it will be too difficult to do this for me. Have a great Whole 30. Here are some tips that helped me through from my other whole 30S. 1. Always include in your cooking & prepping enough time to clean the kitchen. 2. Keep emergency food readily available. Write up 3 meals you can do easily and put it on your refrigerator. 3. Prep....prep....prep.. 4. For those pitch moments: what restaurants are near you where you can get a whole 30 compliant meal and what are they. 5. This too will pass. 6. A quote from Melissa & Dallas Hartwig "this is not hard. Fighting cancer is hard...." Fighting.... (you put in) is hard. This is a great group. Hang tough. This is an amazing program and works if you do it per whole 30 On 2/20 I will start again. This time I will need to not only get rid of non whole 30 food but: night shade veggies, garlic, onions, and possibly citrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a non compliant week +. Was going to start then it was Super Bowl Sunday.. then my daughter was turning 21 on the 11th... There's always something but I'm good now... even made the fam chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's Day and didn't even lick my fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helped alot of other issues. Give it time and you will get used to using it. I'm on day 3 and no crankiness... just hungry for the first time! Was stuffed the first 2 days and had a hard time eating all the food but not today. I'm trying to follow the first week in the book before going out on my own and I have sooo many leftovers (despite the hubs and kids) so I didn't even make todays lunch.

Kitzikin Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 So as was doing further research found out much of the bacon out there has sugar AND the bacon I ate yesterday morn did, too! Starting over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejanecek83 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 @Kitzikin I have yet to find a compliant bacon or sausage. This is why I want a meat grinder to make sausage. Where are people finding bacon?! On the bright side, at least it wasn't day 20 but still disappointing! Hugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, however, a large group of first-time Whole30'ers on there and it seems to be a pretty good group. Look for Whole 30 First-Timers Support Group. I've enjoyed reading the posts on there as well as here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelliKB Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Best of luck to you as you start again, @EJSmadhatter! And to you, @Kitzikin! I'm sure it's disappointing but as @Ejanecek83 said, at least it's early on. So last night I used the roasted red pepper sauce from the book recipe, which I'd prepped on Sunday. It was incredible, you guys. I put it on my salmon and veggies. I think I would eat almost anything with that sauce on it. Highly recommend!! I'm waking up to day 4 here, and am surprised that I don't have any cravings so far. I'm just going to get fatigued from all the food prep & clean up . I will be craving a night off from that (thank goodness for leftovers when that happens)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanvia89 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I am trying out the oven fried salmon cakes from Well Fed 2 and also making the mayo. They look so good and smell good so far if anyone like salmon here! Day 2 of Bulletproof coffee has really helped me out. Oh and instagram! jvia89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Moorachanian Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi everyone! I am a bit late, but I am starting my whole30 on Sunday, 2/19 because I am in a wedding this weekend. I would love to join this group for ideas and support! Love reading all of these threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I help an elderly woman twice a week and we go out to lunch and a movie. Well note to self to stay vigilant - Do NOT under any circumstances lick food off your fingers. It is so automatic I get some frothy milk on my fingers because I am mixing ice in her latte and I lick it off. I also think I got something at Dennys as well. Double check before I order that again. I got a stomach ache after eating chicken, broccoli, & potatoes. It was most likely seasoning salt. I am making sure I am drinking more water. I need to put the brisket in the freezer because it is not looking like I am going to get to the store to make the bone broth. So I will do that now. Getting my food ready for the day. I will check in later with all of you. Have a great day What a bummer. At least we're not very far in yet...count it as a rookie mistake. Good on you for having the determination to start again and stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejanecek83 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I want to die. My headache in my eyes, mostly right eye, hurts so bad! I'll have to post my food tomorrow for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelliKB Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Oh no, @Ejanecek83! That's awful! I hope you wake up feeling better tomorrow. As for me, day 3 & 4 have brought some uncomfortable digestive issues. I am sure hoping it doesn't last long. I saw some mention of digestive enzymes on that First-Timers facebook group, so maybe I should investigate a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitzikin Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 @Ejanecek83 - such a bummer when you are trying to be so careful. Well, here we go again, onward and upward! @KelliKB thanks for the encouragement and kind words! Will have to try the sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearandduck Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 @Ejanecek83 I was able to find bacon in Sprouts and Central Market (Whole Foods look-a-like). They are called Pederson's, here is there website. It seems it's down, hopefully it's back up soon. They have a store finder and you can check if they sell it locally. Also our local farmer's market has a guy that sells meat and he has some too. That would be another place to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcbn Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Re the headaches: Remember your water people!! And salt!! The recommended water intake is half an ounce per pound of body weight daily, and sodium intake can drop by up to 70-odd% when switching to whole foods. Lack of both can cause headaches....

Ejanecek83 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 @jmcbn I drink more than half my body weight in water each day. I've also been having salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejanecek83 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 @jmcbn I try try to add avocado to most meals. If not that, I always have ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, raw nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great - then you're doing all the right things Just make sure you're eating enough in general, and if it doesn't pass please feel free to post a few days worth of your food intake and we can take a look to see if perhaps you need to make any tweaks...
