By now, you have all experienced cravings and hanger and have questioned why you are doing this. Stay strong and know that your cravings will be the strongest during the first week. Remind yourself why you are doing this and arm yourself with strategies to stay strong.
Learn to differentiate between cravings and hunger. Plan your meals and snacks ahead so that you don't end up hungry with no healthy options around. I am encouraging everyone to eat whole food during the Whole30, but I ordered myself a case of RxBar for those emergency snacks and moments of desperation. Hungry leads to Hangry and nobody wants that.

Try a tall glass of water! You will be surprised how many times thirst is mistaken for hunger. In the evening make yourself a cup of herbal tea at the time where you would have normally reached out for the dark chocolate.
Same goes for boredom. Listen to your body, eat when you are hungry and don't when you are not. Cut down on mindless snacking and go for a walk instead or crack open a book!
I love you all, stay strong. Weekend is coming!
Post your meals to comments.

Made a great pulled pork yesterday. It's a regular item for our household.
ReplyDeleteFor those interested in a good butcher we use Rio's Friendly Meats on Hastings just East of Nanaimo (north side). The 5 lb port shoulder is organic and was $25 and feeds us for a couple days! They have organic ground beef for about $6/lb and they make their own sausages that are sugar and grain free. (Just ask which ones). Well worth the trip over the bridge...lol.
Dinner:
ReplyDeleteAs Scott sais we had pulled pork with roasted butternut squash, peppers and asparagus.
A few more Concord grapes for dessert.
We make this pulled pork all the time. It's super easy and so tasty. Here's the recipe.
