Day 2

[Linda K]

I survived day one.  Not a raging success but Whole30 compliant. I just hate to cook so this is very hard!! And hubby keeps hollering for mashed potatoes! But I will not quit even though Diet Coke is calling my name!!!

Good for you for making it through the first day!

You can have mashed potatoes! Just don't add any dairy and use clarified butter (ghee but no browned). Mashed cauliflower is also delicious.

I'm eating mashed potatoes while I check the forums!  Lots of ghee and onion salt, and I love to also mash up potatoes with other root veggies (turnips, rutabaga, celery root).  Sooo delicious and such a nice change.

PS _ i was a hard-core diet Coke addict, 4-6 cans per day.  Once you step away from it for a good month (w30!), the taste will horrify you when you try it again.  I attempted to drink one - after not having it for a long while - when my grandma fell suddenly ill and passed, thinking I NEEDED the comfort/solace of my old friend diet Coke - only to have it repulse me!  Never touched the stuff again - even the smell is so fake.  It does get better!  And my current fave drink is flavored sparkling water:  you get all the bubbles and nothing fake (La Croix tangerine and key lime are both delicious, as is Bubly strawberry).
