GBR Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I did a log (whole30 in France) but now I am switching to the post w30 section. day 31 : i am not at home. We went for dinner to my friends house and slept there. I had one glass of red wine. I have headache but I am not really sure why. I had headache during my last week of w30 + went to bed late + my daughter had nightmares and went several times to me during the night... I will go back to W30 until I feel better. And when I feel better, I will try again alchohol. My last week of W30 was disappointed because i had headache and low energy. i have 4 ideas : 1) too much salt and not enough water? I have read this in the forum. 2) too much starchy vegetables and fruits? I know the recommandation are often the opposite: eat a lot, eat a lot of starchy vegetables. But I have come to know myself through experimentation and I feel a lot better when I eat low sugar, including sugar in fruit and vegetables. I compensate with lot of healthy fats. 3) too much nuts. I eat a lot of nuts and when I do that I feel that I feed the dragon or I may have some kind of allergies? 4) too much meat. Again, the W30 recommendation are lot of proteins but I feel like it is too much. I want to go further and find out. So I want to do more days of w30, adding my own rules : no more almonds, more water, less salt, fewer meats, fruits and starchy vegetables. it will be easier when i will be home. I have been traveling for a week and it is a lot less easy to find what i want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 I am now on W30+ 4 days Day 1: I have reintroduced wine Day 2 : W30. I have headache but I am not 100% sure it is related to the wine yesterday. I did not sleep a lot. Day 3: I had few bits of paremsan cheese. I did not anticipate this. It was mixed to other things in the salad I ordered. Day 4 : I went back to whole 30. As explained before, I had headache and low energy on my last week of W30. I would like to wait until I feel better to do the reintroduction. Or else I will not be able to interpret correctly the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Day 5 (or 35) : W30 compliant day. No lunch because I could not find compliant food. But big breakfast and dinner. Low energy in the morning, better on the afternoon and evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Day 6 (or 36) : W30 compliant day. Feeling ok but not terrific. Not heard of the tiger blood for a while. I Wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Day 7 (or 37) : W30 compliant. Feeling better. I have reduced my fruit and starchy vegetables consumption and I think it is better for me : lot of fat and very low sugar. I always observed the same : after 2-3 days of this diet, the energy comes back. I will start reintroduction tomorrow with wine I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Day 8 = W38 Feeling terrific. Tiger blood is back. I ate W30 compliant Day 9,10 = W39/40 : W30 compliant except for 2 dinners where I ate in a restaurant. 1) First restaurant was a 1 star restaurant, in which there is only one menu with 5 courses. I do not think there were dairy. But one sauce had a bit of pralin (not sure the word in English. It is nuts with sugar) and another had soja. I also had a glass of wine. I am very proud of me for not having dessert, even if it was part of the menu. And this was to celebrate our 12th anniversary 2) Second restaurant with a friend visiting Paris. Manage to have gluten free, cereals free, dairy free and sugar free. I had vegetables, fish, home made mayonnaise. No dessert. I had a glass of wine. Conclusion : I did not have any issues following the 2 glasses of wine I had over the week end, the very small portion of sugar and the soja. My mood was not as good as the days before but I think it is related to other things : short nights, no time to meditate, too much to do. Cravings are not back and of that I am very glad ! It was not hard to eat like that, without the fresh home made bread, the desserts and I had satiety. My plan for the next week is to go back on W30 from Monday to Friday, because it is easy for me. On the week end, I will reintroduce depending on the situation and will hopefully get to know me better. I want to be very careful for I am very afraid of loosing all the benefit of my W30.

GBR Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Day 12 = W42 W30. Feel terrific. Good sleep, good energy, good mood, good digestion, no cravings, good skin, happy with my size (I wear 6 in US size / 36 in France) . Looking for having a glass of wine next saturday (not that I need it or crave for it, but to check the effects on me). I will not be home. I have to prepare myself to have only wine and stay W30 compliant otherwise. I know this is the kind of situation where I can easily go off track if I am not very carreful. Especially with the friends I am staying with, who enjoy food/drinks a lot and tend to encourage you to feast as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Day 13 = W30 + 13 days Still feeling amaizingly good ! 2 more days and I want to slowly reintroduced : 1 glass of wine a day next Saturday and Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Day 14 = W0 +14 days A little bit more tired today. I think it's because I am approaching the end of the week and I did not get enough sleep over the last few days. Today was a W30 compliant day. Tomorrow I will reintroduce wine. A glass on the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Day 15, 16, 17 after W30 Did not manage to re-introduce only one thing as I planned! I had soja, wine, probably cream (not sure what was on the sauce), sugar, gluten, wine My mood was kess good and I had a small headache. I had a hard time to resist to some apple pie on the second day, but I did ! I do not know what is responsible for what. I would like to go back to W30 and when I feel good I can reintroduce again. Hopefully one thing after antoher and not many things at once. Also I want to highlight that I have not eaten tones of things, I was not out of control. This is very positive. Everybody had more drinks that I, had bread and I did not, had ice cream and I did not, etc. I wish I had gone slowlier to reintroduce but I do want to see the positive apsects as well.

GBR Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Day 21 after W30 was a compliant day Day 22 : was a day with many nuts (too much) and wine/goat cheese reintroduction. Day 23 : I went to a marocan restaurant and had a "pastilla" which contains gluten, and honey. I should have waited before reintroducing gluten and sugar because yesterday I already had cheese and wine... Too many things... Day 24 : felt discouraged and decided to have milk chocolate ! Felt even more discouraged and ate way too much banana bread (with no gluten, but with honey and lot of banana). I was craving for more sugar after that. Bad mood, headaches. I am not sure if it is due to high carb, to gluten, to dairy... I get up at 3:00 this morning, so it also creates issue with my sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBR Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Day 25 after W30 - Back to W30 compliant food. I have found some blood analysis result from 2015 and it said that I have intolerance to eggs ! do not know why I did not see it back on 2015. I do not know how reliable it is. So this week I will not eat eggs. Just to see. This is my customized W30, with no eggs and no coffee (I have decided to stop that when I started the W30 in August, and do not feel like having it since then).

GBR Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Day 36-38 On friday I was carving for sugar - We went out for dinner and I had a glass of wine, french fries and meat (big portion). I think this was too much for a reintroduction ! On Saturday, my cravings were most. I have started eating non compliant food in the middle of the afternoon, including gluten. And ate too much On Sunday, I was craving all day. We were invited and had rices. I had few dark chocolate bites. Nuts. Fruits. --> Bad mood, bad digestion, thinking of food all day What I have learnt? I have obvisouly crossed the line... I will try to remember the following : 1) When cravings start, I should know that Nothing will help. The more I eat the more I want. I think the best when craving comes is to realize it and not to feed the dragon until cravings go away. 2) I do not know why I had the cravings. Maybe stress? lack of sleep? or eating out without knowing that I was eating Something that fed the dragon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
