Hopefully by now the positive changes you feel should make you appreciate the benefits of the Whole 30. Also help with your resolve to finish strong and stay on track. Please take a moment to share your experience with the group.
For myself I must say the amount of dairy I let creep back into my diet lately was not agreeing with me. It's definitively obvious to me now and I will have to think hard about what I bring back into my diet. I much prefer a flat stomach. My belly is much happier, no more bloating and gas.
This week my energy has improved greatly and I am not nearly as hungry. Sweet cravings are going down. I am taming my sugar monster! Also didn't feel as bogged down by cooking as I did in week one. Getting the hang of I guess. Not to say I don't have my struggles. Very anxious about the family thanksgiving dinner and all the temptations....
If you don't feel any better and hate it, speak up too, there is no shame in this. And maybe we can tweak some things for you and make this a more enjoyable and successful process.
Great work everyone! Keep on posting and sharing.
Just after finishing writing all these wonderful changes I was feeling, I am having a very snacky/hungry kind of day! Could definitively be due to the hour and 20 minutes run I did, but still...
ReplyDeleteBreakfast:
2 egg muffins with a little roast veggies. Bulletpro coffee.
Snack:
Banana and almond butter pre-run.
Lunch:
3 eggs and a chorizo sausage with some yam and roast veggies. A decaf and a spoonful of coconut butter.
A couple of hours later and I am still hungry so I just had our last bowl of butternut squash soup with some crumbled proscuitto. Hope this does it!
Dinner:
DeleteChicken slow cooked in salsa verde served on top of mashed cauliflower and yams and a few sliced tomatoes. Made a green sauce to top it off with avocadoe, cilantro, lime juice and homemade mayo.
Now I am finally full! Spent the day hungry since I did my run. I think I will have a couple of dates now for sweets, maybe with almond butter and a cup of herbal tea.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone else!
