Greeny82 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi everyone! This is my first whole30 and for the most part I am really enjoying the process. Before I started I was counting macros and mainly eating a diet of greek yoghurt, sugarfree jelly, rice cakes, kangaroo, konyak noodles and egg whites, So I was eating pretty much eating zero vegetables and definitelty not healthy! I love vegetables now and can't imagine not eating them they are so delicious! The second week I felt a steady flow of energy and pretty good but day 20 I woke up with a headache which I never get and have felt super tired the last 4 days. I am not sure why. My pants are still the same tightness maybe more so. I wasn't expecting to lose weight as am probably eating much more than I was before but I didn't think I would gain either. I have just about finished my cycle, I started on Friday (the day before headaches came). Typical day of eating: M1: Kangaroo meatballs and 1- 2 cups capsicum, zucchini, brussel sprouts, pumpkin cooked in coconut oil with 1/4 avo and 2 tsps. homemade almond butter or mayo M2: Plate sized serve of Mince with cauliflower rice and bowl of raw snow peas and capsicum and carrot plus 1/2 avocado. 1/2 banana M3: Steak or salmon with 3/4 plate full of roast vegies - brussel sprouts, broccoli, butternut pumpkin, kale and blueberries all cooked in coconut oil and 1/4 avo and 2 tsps. of mayo or sprinkle of almond flour ixed with nutritional yeast (dairy free parmesan). After dinner several times a week I might have some more berries or half banana or some almonds. I workout about 4 times a week, mainly weight training 1-1.5 hours and 1 session of hiit circuits. On these days I have a pre workout meal of either kangaroo patty and avocado and then post workout of 1 or 2 homemade meatballs and small serve of roast vegetables. I drink 2-3 litres of water a day in the form of water and herbal tea. Can you see anything I might be doing wrong which I can correct now? I feel fine but I feel like I could/should be feeling better? Im not sure.... Thank you for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted July 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2017 Sorry you're not feeling well. Your meals actually look pretty decent to me... I"d say maybe you're a titch light on fat - avocado is a half to a whole and even tho you're supplementing with the mayo, it may not be enough. Otherwise I'd say maybe you just caught a bug or it's your period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeny82 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi SugarCube. Thank you so much for replying. It's good to know nothing really stands out and this tiredness might pass. I will keep at it for now. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
