Susan W Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So, wait I thought EACH MEAL, according to the template, HAS to include 1-2 thumbs oil, 1-2 thumbs butter, 1-2 hand olive, 1-2 hand protein, veggies, 1/2-1 whole avocado, 1-2 heaping coconut, AND a closed hand of nuts......... ?????? I have been eating ALL of this, LOL! And while some of it is in the pan, sometimes I put the oil directly on the food (like when I eat a sweet potato or veggies with ghee). So I'm definitely full with every meal, and I feel great until the next mealtime! I sit all day at work, I don't have an exercise regimine (yet), but I peeked at the scale and its going down! I discovered two nights ago that I dont like guacamole but last night that I like plain avocado. I'm glad I gave it another try (maybe it was the $5 i spent on them at Whole Foods, lol.....) OMG..no. It's just one of all of those you listed as a healthy fat. Not all of them. Not sure why you are looking at the scale, but you may want to scale down the fats for the long run. Also butter is not Whole 30 at all. Do you mean ghee? Butter is dairy. Ghee is browned butter with the milk solids removed. You can get 5 good avocados at Costco for $4.99.

(And in the amount listed on the template right?) And yes, I know butter is out (I said butter meaning coconut butter, etc) Ghee is included in "oils" ... and I peeked at the scale because I was curious.

Hopefully a Mod will weigh in but yes, just one or 2 of those fats with each meal. How glorious your meals must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael2288 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 As for your fats, it is actually good from my understanding to mix up two kinds of fats at a meal. So for example, I cook my veggies with one tbsp of ghee or coconut oil and then have a half an avocado or less than a 1/4 cup coconut milk drizzled over fruit or sweet potato/squash. That way even if I don't get ALL the fat that I cooked with in my stomach I know I got enough fat to keep me satiated until the next meal! I WISH we could eat as much fat as you were at each meal.... oh man that would be such a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 ... and I peeked at the scale because I was curious. Staying off the scale may have been the most difficult part of my Whole30. I never did get good at that part, even after I tried to hide it from myself in the garage, where there are spiders!! Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I reckon you should be able to have double the fat in the first week to make it easier. One week without peeking on the scales for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlaccini Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 No I haven't thought about joing an aviary forum. I will be sure to check it out. My parrotlet sounds very similar to your pineapple. She is so totally my sidekick. Always perched on my shoulder, or burrowing in my hair. If anyone comes close - watch out! I'm her property you see! lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 D: TBD *I wish my avocados were ripe, I may get some guacamole at Chipotle, since I love it so* You may know this trick already but put an avocado in a paper bag with an apple. It should ripen faster! By the way, that ground beef with veggies and fruits sounds soo good! I'm getting my CSA meat order tonight, including 5 pounds of ground meat (we order once a month). I think your lunch will inspire future dinners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
