wallysmama Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I started Monday, April 1st, but unfortunately didn't have time to prepare my food in advance. I have done well yesterday and today with limited resources, but look forward to having the time this weekend to prepare enough food to cover most of my meals for week 2. April 1: 3 hb eggs black coffee salad with carrots, green pepper, a few sunflower seeds, chopped ham (fingers crossed it was compliant) and red wine vinegar grilled hamburger patty roasted sweet potatoes, white onion & green pepper, with EVOO, salt & pepper black coffee lots of water and Keurig green tea (Tea Vert) during the day 1 hour Reformer Pilates April 2: 2 eggs scrambled in coconut oil black coffee salad with plain smoked chicken, green pepper, green onions, and red wine vinegar dinner same as April 1 ditto water & green tea 1 hour Reformer Pilates So far, I haven't experienced any headaches or other negative side effects. Curiously not starving or craving anything in particular. Hope this lasts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2013 Eggs are great food, but an ideal breakfast includes some veggies too. Lately, I have been adding 4 or 5 tablespoons of salsa to my eggs in the morning. Your ham is probably not compliant unless you are living outside the US. I've never found ham that is not cured with sugar in the US. What you have eaten does not ruin your start, but you need to find another meat choice during your Whole30. I am a little concerned that you may not be eating enough. Just in case, let me point you to the Whole9 meal template: http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallysmama Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thank you, Tom! I think you're exactly right...I'm not eating enough. This is Day 4 and I have a terrible headache today. I'm just trying to make it to the weekend, when I'll have time to prep a lot of food for next week. Here's what I had on Day 3: 2 eggs scrambled in coconut oil black coffee Large salad with roasted chicken breast, avocado, green pepper, red onion, black olives black coffee Roasted chicken breast, Greek olives, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic & green onions sauteed and served over a large bed of fresh baby spinach.....this was SO good! Water & green tea throughout the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalie.s.a Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Looks like you're doing a good job. Good luck with the rsst of the month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firecook1 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Day 4 and 5 I had horrible headaches - but it did pass. If you are having trouble getting veggies in the am - i suggest making a batch of vegetable hash - and just making some of that to go with your eggs - My hash is usually white sweet potatoes, baby spinch shredded, red pepper and onions - and I make enough for 3 - 4 days - poached eggs on top, a little avocado...done! thats a meal that will get me through the next 5-6 hours.

wallysmama Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks, Natalie, and thanks so much for the breakfast idea, firecook! That recipe sounds wonderful. I had 2 lettuce wraps for lunch today with eggs, sausage, spinach, red onion & green pepper. I'm feeling better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
