melbournegirl Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Learnt lots on my whole30+ and learnt some more reintroducing sugar and cocoa and also in not paying quite enough attention to the importance of meal sizes and planning and snack composition. Also learnt that I have the commitment to do this and that I want the benefits it brings. So I want to do a whole7 to rebalance and get me to the other side of Christmas. My goals are: No coffee or tea other than herbal Limit nuts to during meals or Pre WO snacks Focus on planning three meals in advance and if still hungry make the next meal bigger or have four meals rather than introducing snacks Eight hours sleep Eating a bit less than I need rather than a bit more than I need Eating more soups and vegetables Outcomes sought: Lose a bit more weight Give my stomach a bit more rest Feel more balanced.

melbournegirl Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks Heather, hasnt gone as well as I'd liked but going to try harder today! My Christmas present was a training diary which I will use to log meals, that will help. I particularly want to look for fodmap effects and figure out how much fat and carbs and protein I can tolerate to avoid an upset stomach. Hope you had a good Christmas. Pre WO 2 brazil nuts (30 minute walk and 30 mins weights) M1 2 eggs with ghee and large stuff mushroom Post WO 2 brazil nuts, 2 apple slices and a small peice of sweet potato (70 minutes rollerblading) M2 vege soup with squash and roast pork, small salad, coconut oil M3 steak, brocolli, tomato, cucumber, beans in ghee, berries with coconut milk. Going to stop logging now and move to my whole100 log. Thanks again everyone for your support and interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
