Reading labels on the Whole30 can be frustrating, realizing all the things we cannot have. There is added sugar in literally everything and often for no reason at all other that everyone is so addicted to sugar we need to make everything extra sweet.
Just try to find a ham to bake or a jar of mayo without it. Yet if you do make mayo at home like I did yesterday, you do not need sugar at all and it can be delicious. I have spent more time cooking and planning meals in the past week that I did in the past month. True. But if I am honest, I also had some amazing meals this week and really felt satisfied all week. I for one value my health, but still firmly believes that eating should be both decadent and fuel my healthy lifestyle.
Of course the food that come without a label at your grocery store are whole foods are always our best option. Read your labels carefully! Be creative in the kitchen and share with us any new kitchen creation you come up with.
Let's have another good week!
Okay, feeling more energetic this week for sure. Last week Wed-Friday felt tough. Didn't realize how much sugar I think I was eating heading into this. I miss my dark chocolate...
ReplyDeleteMeal 1: Egg muffin and banana with almond butter. Annie may post the recipe, but it's an egg, proscuitto, and tomato cooked in a muffin pan.
Meal 2: 3 eggs and back bacon, white potatoes, raspberries and grapes.
Meal 3: Chorizo and sauerkraut with coleslaw.
Finding I need about 5 med sized meals along with snacks to keep from feeling hungry during the day.
It's a lot of work being a beefcake. 😍
DeleteBut technically if you eat sufficient amount at each meals you should find that you don't have as many cravings and hunger pains eating less sugar and keeping your levels more balanced throughout the day.
PIGGGGYYYYYY!!! :)
DeleteBreakfast:
ReplyDeleteA couple egg muffins with my bulletproof coffee. A couple hours later I had a mashed up banana with almond butter and coconut.
Lunch:
Salad with salmon cakes I made yesterday and raspberries in coconut cream.
A half-caffeinated Americano as a treat.
Snack:
Another egg muffin, an apple and some coconut flakes.
Dinner:
I made a stirfry that I will have later with ground turkey, kelp noodles (found at Costco taste like Asian rice noodles), broccoli, mushrooms and coconut aminos in lieu of soy sauce.
I meant to say Whole Foods for the kelp noodles. They can also be ordered online through the Caveman Grocer. A small Paleo online grocer from Whistler that will ship for free to Vancouver for orders over 40$.

Its just not the same without the fun stuff... I wish we had a way of getting coconut wraps cause it would make things way more interesting but cave man grocery is always out of them.... Are we allowed to eat those and does anyone know of any other place we can get these babies?
DeleteHi Tyler, Scott and I use to love those, but last time I checked it was an issue bringing them into the country with the packaging. I haven't been able to find them anywhere else.
DeleteLettuce wraps can be boring, but if you check out the Stupid Easy Paleo blog link, she has a good paleo tortilla that isn't bad if you don't mind cooking.👍
