jennamariebee13 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I actually started my Whole30 on January 1, but I'm needing a place to communicate to others participating to see if I'm in the same boat, and see if anyone else has any suggestions or recommendations! My reasons for doing a whole30 - I have a serious sugar addiction. Fountain Coke is my savior. I love chocolate cake. Sweets sweets sweets! Iced Chai Tea Lattes & Strawberry Acai refreshers are my favorites at Starbucks. Can you tell I have cravings right now? I want to try and retrain my body not to crave sweets so much, while eating healthier as well. Not a huge goal to lose weight, necessarily. I'm 5'5" 128lbs. Although I would classify myself as "skinny fat." I've had two kids, my youngest is 4.5 years old. I'll start with yesterday's meals: W30D6Breakfast Scrambled eggs with leftover Sizzling Pork Greek Salad mix (the pork, onions and olives). (SO DELISH. I could eat this every day.) Whole grapefruit. Lunch Side of mixed greens (without dressing) at Noodles & Co while my kids made me jealous with their Mac & Cheese. Dinner Spanish Chicken & Cauliflower My biggest hurdle is the sugar cravings and the exhaustion right now. I don't drink coffee so finding a compliant caffeine source is an issue.

nutburger Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The cravings will get easier as you get further in! Have you tried the iced (unsweetened) black tea at Starbucks? It is good with lemon, or the passion fruit one is good too. You could also try Kombucha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennamariebee13 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Monday night I had a bit of a meltdown, not wanting to cook but feeling stuck not knowing how to just "eat" and be full. I ended up grazing on a few things, striking out with a W30 approved BBQ sauce, but finding luck in the end. Yesterday I noticed I wasn't as tired as I have been. Today I'm feeling gassy and bloated, but blame the brussels sprouts. W30D7Breakfast Banana, Blueberry Muffin Luna Bar, Water Lunch Leftover Spanish Chicken & Cauliflower, Strawberries Snack Almonds Dinner Turkey Breast, shredded cabbage with W30 approved coleslaw dressing, cantaloupe, pistachios W30D8Breakfast Banana, Apple Pie Luna Bar, Water Lunch Leftover Spanish Chicken & Cauliflower, Apple Snack Pistachios Dinner New York Strip Steak Burger, roasted balsamic carrots & Brussels sprouts W30D9Breakfast Water, Black Tea (not my best day) Lunch Leftover NY Strip Burger, roasted balsamic carrots & brussels sprouts, apple Snack Pistachios and bare apple cinnamon chips Dinner ???
