Day 7 - Nausea, Vomitting

[haley12]

I was wondering if someone could take a look at my daily meals and let me know if there is anything to adjust. I am on Day 7 after having a bad previous diet and I have been having diarrhea almost every day and I am now very nauseous. I have cut out raw vegetables, but that still hasn't made a difference

Breakfast: roughly 1.5 eggs, 1 link of turkey sausage, 1.5 cups of cooked spinach, green peppers, and onions

Lunch: 3oz cooked ground turkey, 1 sweet potato, 1 cup steamed broccoli

Dinner: 3oz cooked ground turkey, 1 cup cauliflower rice, 1 cup mixture of roasted red tomatoes with cooked onions, mushrooms, and green peppers

If I work out, my post work out is 1/4 cup of almonds and 1 HB egg

 

Thanks!

Hi @haley12 I'm sorry you're feeling poorly! I'm not a medical professional, but nausea and vomiting are generally atypical on a Whole30. Different bowel movements, however, have been seen on the Whole30 as your gut starts to heal (review the timeline here: https://whole30.com/2013/08/revised-timeline). I would recommend a trip to your doctor to get checked out, just to make sure nothing else is going on, as well as make sure you're OK to undertake the Whole30.

From your food log that you posted, you could definitely be eating more fat (fat is satiating), and more protein. The recommended meal template (link here: https://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf) doesn't weigh or portion your food, rather it uses your hand as a guideline for food portions (1-2 palm sized portions of protein). For most people, a recommended serving of eggs is 3 - what you can hold in your hand (I usually do two because I am on the smaller side).
