Amanda Colf Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have been prepping for two weeks and am now on day 2. Feeling sluggish and tired but that could also be due to being up all night with a sick baby. I am doing this because my sugar cravings are out of control. I am a type 2 diabetic and want to make healthier life choices so I can be more active with my two daughters. I am also exculsively breastfeeding a 4 month old. I am prepared for this to be a tough journey. So far so good. I am craving fruit though and had planned to not have it for at least the first week to help get the sugar cravings under control.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2013 Avoiding fruit is a good idea. Fruit strengthens sugar cravings too often. Be sure to eat plenty so that you are not hungry. Being hungry tends to make sugar cravings worse and many people do not eat enough when they start a Whole30.

Amanda Colf Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks. Due to the breastfeeding I have been eating 3 meals and one mini meal. I feel like they are too large but are mostly veggies as I strive to have 1/3 protein and 2/3 veggie at every meal (plus fat of course). Avoiding fruit is a good idea.

Amanda Colf Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Ugh! Really feeling day three. No energy, constant low grade headache and upset stomach. Just gotta keep thinking about what's on the other side. Craving raspberries like nobody's business. Don't want to give in even though it's a compliant food because I know it's just feeding my sugar dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
