FischerRo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 There are about 5-6 of us starting on May 1/13! Worried about breakfast any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Welcome!! Why are you "worried" about breakfast? Time constraints? Ideas? Not used to eating breakfast? More info please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FischerRo Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm not used to eating breakfast and I want some breakfast suggestions that are easy and that i can plan ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Well nothing is quicker than leftovers from the night before. I got away from the traditional breakfast ideas and moved to meal 1,2 & 3. Scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FischerRo Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks, I will try that for meal #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 21, 2013 I keep boiled eggs in the refrigerator all the time and buy two or three packages of salsa at Whole Foods each week. Then I eat three boiled eggs cut into quarters with 4 or 5 tablespoons of salsa for breakfast most days. Whole Foods sells maybe a dozen different salsas and at least 3 or 4 of them are made without added sugar and are Whole30 compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angekfire Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'm starting the same day, and I have been eating leftovers for breakfast for years. I had only recently switched over to nuts & yogurt, but leftovers do make an awesome breakfast. Especially if it is hearty like a bowl of whole30 chili. But scrambled eggs/omelets can have any number of things added. I like wilted chard, or taco beef & salsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemarie Illona Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm starting may 1st as well. Breakfast seems to be the hardest meal to eat. Just because I don't normally eat breakfast. The ideas you guys have suggested seem easy enough to follow. Here's crossing my fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldmd Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm planning on starting May 1st, too. My big concern (other than "can I do this?!?") is my crazy schedule. I work a LOT and dinner is often shredded wheat, dried apricots, almonds & FF milk. Does anyone have suggestions on how to plan ahead when all of your meals might be eaten at work? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I will be starting with you on May 1st as well. This will be my second whole30 but unfortunately I didn't make it past day 18 last time. I'm really determined to finish the 30 days this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calee Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hello, I'm planning to start on the first as well. I've been eating Primal 80% since January 1st. I think dairy and dark chocolate will be my difficult foods to give up, as well as the occasionally gluten I've ingested since starting Primal. I'm going to take it one day at a time for 30 days.

Bethann67 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Ldmd- mason jar salads are awesome..you can make a dozen on Sunday and they will last all week.... A couple tweaks I've discovered... You really pack the lettuce in and I wanted to be able to shake my salad (dirty dishes quadruple during whole 30 .,.And I have landfill guilt) so the last thing I add is iceberg lettuce ( which is simply a space filler, and gets thrown out so I can shake )! There are a ton of recipes on line,but the most important rule is to keep the wet stuff away from the lettuce. (shredded cabbage does this beautifully) The second tweak is master homemade mayo as early in your whole 30 as possible! homemade mayo alone will change your life! 😠Also Whole 30 leftovers are obscenely good ... So Every time you cook, cook for +1 (I am horrible about planning ahead, but do know how to cook for big eyes!) good luck! The most delicious month of your life is right round the corner!

Misis Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi, I'm new in this forum. Planning to start on the first as well. Last months were on Dukan diet, lost 12kg. Now would like to try more strict and healthier regime. Weekends are the most dangerous for my attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, bethann67!! I love this idea. I'll have to get some mason jars. Do you use the quart size (I can't imagine two cups of salad being enough to hold me until the next meal). I saw the mayo recipe in ISWF and since I'm starting my Whole30 mid-week, I figured I'd tackle it next weekend. I did a mess of cooking yesterday so I'm ready for May 1st. Thanks again...I need all the help I can get!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keianna Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Cooking egg, spinach and sausage muffins or frittatas are good for breakfast. Make once and serves 2-3 meals. Diced sweet potato hash is quick and can go with any protein for breakfast. I got the recipe from Nom Nom Paleo website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a frittata yesterday but the sweet potato hash sounds great, too. Definitely want to mix it up so I don't get sick of what I'm eating.

lmack0104 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I am also starting on 5/1! I've done Paleo before, but was allowed to use honey, maple syrup and nut flours. So, this is a bit more strict, but I am so ready!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy Myfanwy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm starting on the first too! I'm already used to gluten free, dairy free, and egg free most of the time due to allergies.....but I have massive sugar and carb cravings. I am hoping that taking a month off from them will make those cravings disappear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7carmicals Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I would like to start on May 1st also. Looking forward to having an online buddy system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriciaLo14 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I started yesterday, as I just wanted to get going! This is my 3rd whole30! I'd love to join the group and help out where I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi Lissette Stacey-Arenas Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I started two days ago...so I think this thread of starting may 1 can still pertain to me! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliciadunn Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 For breakfast, I like to make a dozen or two dozen egg muffins on Sunday night for the week ahead. you can use a muffin tin and mix/match different combinations (e.g. I might put peppers and onions in a few muffins, mushrooms in others, broccoli and garlic in the rest and mix/match the spices). Once they are cooked and stored, you can re-heat the ones you want to eat in the morning and it gives you a bit of variety to choose from. Today is my last day of Whole30 and I PROMISE that the worries in the days leading up to Day 1 and those first days after you start are tough but you will be doing just fine in no time! It is well worth it. Good luck everybody!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
