Abbs Whole30 Log

Hi I'm Abbs,

Today I started Whole30 for the first time. 

I have a complicated history with food, a Diet Coke obsession, and I'm a professional chef. I have a lot going on when it comes to food LOL. 

I'm recently into my 30's and I've finally realized how badly I need to get my health in order. This seemed like a good place to start.

Hey there - 

You seem to be a bit fat heavy and protein light in some of your meals... tonights dinner for instance had three fat items and one chicken sausage?  Protein is asked for as 1-2 palm sized servings (width x length x thickness of your own palm) and unless that sausage was enormous, I can't imagine it even met the low end of the template.  This is not to say that you should be fat phobic and having more than one option at a meal is absolutely acceptable, but we do need to strike a balance and the template is where you find that balance.

When eggs are your sole source of protein, it's as many as you can hold in one hand without dropping... that's certainly more than two and for most people starts at 3-4.

Your dinner yesterday was also woefully lacking in veggies... you may find that if you can match to the template a bit better, you'll feel better.

Do you mean actual plain green peas or some sort of snap/sugar/snow pea in the shell?

Peas are a legume, which are not allowed.  Snap, sugar and snow peas are more shell than pea, so they're ok.

Whoops, they were snap peas. Should have written that. :)
