kb0426 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hello and welcome! May I offer you a bit of advice, or more of a question? What brand of turkey bacon did you find that is compliant? Make sure you check your label for sugars (may have names other than sugar) as well as some odd ingredients. I have never found a bacon, turkey, beef or pork, that I could buy commercially.

I'm missing bacon but not wanting to spend the money to order it online. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie2020 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 day 3 end and day 4 so far. Day 3 ended ROUGHLY....went to WF and got spag squash and made a dish w coconut oil, coconut milk, pasta sauce, compliant chk sausage, veggies and salt/pep. And i DIDNT like it!!!! im a PICKY eater as it is, and knew I wasn't crazy about coconut...but I felt very discouraged after this and had to make another meal. Made chk with a little bit of almond flour, cooked in EVOO, and brussels with garlic. Had some applesauce w cinnamon after. **SIGH*** Day 4- feeling better! New day!!! meal 1- 3 eggs with avocado(tho i dont love it plain), strawberries, banana, and coffee w a little coconut milk (i dont mind it this way!) meal 2- to come, salad w chk, avocado, pecans, balsamic.

Heather Robertson Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Do you have a farmers market near you?? You may be able to find someone there that sells meat (including bacon!) that is excellent. We've got a source at our market that sells uncured chemical free bacon and pork. They also have beef, lamb, chicken, eggs, and all kinds of wonderful meats!! The price is higher than conventional but you save on shipping and I feel it is worth it. Especially with pork.

Jackolantern Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 mmmm Rao's... You might want to try adding some more fat (like some olives or a drizzle of olive oil on that chicken) and making sure snacks include protein and fat, not just fruit. I've been eating a lot more fat on the Whole30 than I used to but I find I'm so much fuller after each meal, full enough that I don't need a snack.Try switching the pistachios for cashews or macademia nuts or snacking on cocnut flakes. The ISWF shopping list has some good ideas for how to fill your cart: http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Shopping-List.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
