I sometimes would include spinach and avocado, looks like I should try to incorporate daily. (also the approved bacon). I have to do a little research, but do you know if there is a preference over eggs vs egg whites? I did not check the egg white carton yet for the ingredient list.

Follow up... did some research... egg whites in the carton are NOT approved, processed. Eat REAL food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat REAL food. Also, a whole egg is a complete food made in nature - the egg white and the egg yolk are symbiotic and are most nutritious when eaten together as a whole food Good job doing the research tho!

Yes, each meal should have protein, fat and veggies per the template (linked in my signature below). When you use salad greens as your veggie, you need a truckload of them (think of what happens to fresh spinach when you steam it down... it nearly disappears). Adding heartier veggies to salad greens is a good way to bump up your veggies and yes, definitely fat at every meal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStack Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi! I am also starting my very first Whole30 on April 2! I’m excited and nervous! I think I have all that I need for the first week, but if you have any advice I am all ears! Good luck and be well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking to see if there is anyone else that is starting around the same time. I loved my first whole30 so much and am looking forward to that Tiger Blood again! I think this will kickstart my healthy summer. I have some tricks that i learned during the first round (like always having approved snacks available, meal prepping every sunday, and I know what products to use now), but I'd like some accountability assistance! Hi, I am going to start on April 1. This will be my first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope4Overcomers Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 @Cjane, if you want to direct it to someone in particular, you put the @ symbol and then their user name directly after. Lots of us are learning. Don’t get discouraged! It’s my first time doing Whole30 too, and I’m just like you, another participant. If you want to see someone’s profile, touch their picture/name.

suzannes Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Beginning on April 1st, yes it's Easter, but it won't be any easier on Monday. I'm focused on conquering my fire-breathing sugar dragon and improving some aggravating health issues. Just want to say thanks to all of you in advance for sharing your Whole30 experiences, struggles and support - I think I'm going to need it.
