slc_melissa Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 If you post specific meals, amounts/types of food as they relate to the template, sleep, exercise, water consumption, etc, we might be able to help. As is, we don't have enough info to provide any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpoolman Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Breakfast--Typically sweet potatoes, sausage, sautéed spinach, and some avocado. Lunch--Typically either a salad with protein and fat, or a soup with protein and fat and veg. Dinner--Typically a protein, green veggies like broccoli, salad, or slaw, with a fat and two mandarins. Sometimes I include potatoes some days not. I have to eat a late lunch at work, so if I can't wait until lunch I have a tbsp of Nutzo to get me through. Not drinking coffee-just two cups black tea in the A.M. I take 1 teaspoon natural calm at night. I drink at least 72 ounces of water a day and I have a cup of herbal tea in the afternoon. I go to bed between 9pm-9:20pm, and get up about 5:10am to workout (typically walking, weights, or yoga). I've been working about at least 3-4 days but I was sick for about three days (cold), and did not workout for a week. I'm wondering if my issue is nightshades, as I have been occasionally eating tomatoes, I use pepper on most things, and I've been eating either chili or another soup with tomatoes. I also think my cold has made a lasting impact on my energy, and stomach. @slc_melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpoolman Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 I should also add, I never feel hungry, and I feel like I'm eating enough. The only time I get hungry is when I've eaten breakfast at 7:45am and am waiting to eat lunch until 1:30pm. Some days I can make it and some days I can't and have the tbsp of nut butter.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted November 4, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2017 It's hard to say -- nightshades could be the problem, here's an article with more about them: https://www.thepaleomom.com/what-are-nightshades/ If you do feel like they're the issue, you'll need to eliminate them, and would probably notice improvement in a few days. Your meals look okay, and if they're keeping you satisfied 4-5 hours at a time, you're good there, although you do just mention that you add fat to meals, and don't specify what fat -- nuts and seeds cause digestive issues for many people, so if you're using them (and nut butters, nut flours, or other nut products) every day, maybe leave them out for a while and see if that helps.

Jpoolman Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 @ShannonM816 Oh sorry about that. Typically it’s avocado or dressing. I really don’t do much nuts and seeds but I will keep an eye on that to see if it’s the issue. Thank you for the feedback and the article link!
