I'm glad I did it because I had been wanting to get back to Paleo for quite a while. I plan to keep eating this way but make some defined allotment for non-compliant food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30/page/2#post-2728323 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 12:52:58 +0000 jhd 2728323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: those look good!

I'll probably have to talk him into it though, but since he has a chronic joint pain condition and I do the cooking, he might be game for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30/page/2#post-2727796 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:27:40 +0000 LAZB 2727796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some favorite recipes<br /> <a href="http://nomnompaleo.com/post/74180911762/cracklin-chicken" rel="nofollow">http://nomnompaleo.com/post/74180911762/cracklin-chicken</a><br /> <a href="http://wonkywonderful.com/bacon-avocado-chicken-salad-whole30-recipe/" rel="nofollow">http://wonkywonderful.com/bacon-avocado-chicken-salad-whole30-recipe/</a><br /> <a href="http://simplymrsedwards.com/2015/09/28/whole30-balsamic-garlic-chicken/" rel="nofollow">http://simplymrsedwards.com/2015/09/28/whole30-balsamic-garlic-chicken/</a><br /> <a href="http://sassysouthernyankee.com/2016/02/rosemary-dijon-pork-chops/" rel="nofollow">http://sassysouthernyankee.com/2016/02/rosemary-dijon-pork-chops/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30/page/2#post-2727793 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:25:26 +0000 LAZB 2727793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are finishing up day 20, and it's going great! I can definitely see is continuing to eat mostly clean for a while. I know you're not supposed to, but we have been weighing ourselves weekly, and lost 10 pounds in the first two weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30/page/2#post-2727790 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:18:20 +0000 jhd 2727790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were talking today and decided to start May 1. How is everyone doing? Any favorite recipes or go to meals that have been working well for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30/page/2#post-2724033 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 17:14:23 +0000 thepicklemonster 2724033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on Day 14 and doing pretty well. The actual eating part is way easier than anticipated, but the cooking and grocery shopping is a pain. The biggest change I've noticed is that I don't get hangry at all. I'm barely hungry ever, and even when it's time to eat, I feel fine. In the past, I felt shaky and hypoglycemic all the time. My (crazily sugar addicted) DH is doing it with me and feels good, too. We are both amazing that we made it this far but it's actually not that hard.</p> <p>We are traveling to NYC next weekend for a wedding and I have no idea what we'll do. I think we'll just do our best but I can't see us not drinking at the wedding. We'll be like day 22-26 at that point. I also have a girls dinner early next week but I think I'll eat beforehand and not drink. I love having a few glasses of wine, but it's definitely one of my triggers for overeating and generally makes me feel gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30/page/2#post-2724031 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 17:10:50 +0000 lioneyes 2724031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting may 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30/page/2#post-2723988 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 14:56:22 +0000 Corduroy 2723988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is everyone doing? </p> <p>My day to day is going well. I'm starting to see some small results and I'm feeling more even energywise. </p> <p>I had a rough weekend solo parenting out of town. I relied on premade food from Whole Foods. I chose to have a drink at what was essentially a memorial service but otherwise managed to follow the guidelines. </p> <p>I just realized that my college roommate's wedding is next weekend and it would normally be an occasion where I would definitely drink (out of town with DH). I need to think about what I'll do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2720722 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 10:28:54 +0000 LAZB 2720722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On day 4 and so far so good!

The evenings are really hard but everything else has been ok. Today was scrambled eggs + veg for breakfast, chili for lunch, roast chicken + asparagus + potatoes for dinner. I was surprised to see you can have potatoes on Whole30 now so I was super excited to eat them.</p> <p>I picked up some paleo books at the library. I had never been outside of the kids' section there so this is already expanding my horizons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2719700 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 20:40:04 +0000 MrsSRS 2719700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh getting out of the evening snack habit is so hard. Breakfasts at my house this week: saute an onion and a container of baby bella mushrooms in ghee, layer in a glass dish, top with a bag of raw spinach, pour over a dozen beaten eggs. Bake, cut into six slices, serve with salsa and/or hot sauce and avocado. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2719690 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 20:27:58 +0000 knittylady 2719690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cauliflower and potato curry on a bed of cauliflower rice. I had to laugh after I served myself. In this case, I only have myself to blame. I think I'll have bunless burgers topped with bacon and guac tomorrow to make up for how sad dinner made me tonight.</p> <p>ETA - And the curry was actually really food! It was just cauliflower overload... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2719564 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 15:25:38 +0000 Mrs D 2719564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not going quite whole30 mode but I just re-committed to my Whole eating plan!</p> <p>Today was day 1 - I always start on a work day when I am out of the house and only have the food I planned/brought at my disposal! Breakfast was oatmeal, snack was apple and natural peanut butter, lunch was salmon and potato wedges, snack was Jicama and dinner will be eggs and some bacon or sausage! Plus lots of water...and all my vitamins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2719552 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 15:14:51 +0000 Mommy Finger 2719552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoops! So, April 1st came and went and I totally forgot. I think I'll start after Easter at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2719463 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 12:41:22 +0000 knittylady 2719463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA! This is terrible!!!

I was super annoyed this morning because my husband thought we were starting today and got my daughter donuts, but not us lol. I was going to really splurge, but instead I just had an English muffin. About to head to the store for fresh veggies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2719094 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 07:02:41 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2719094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: I started yesterday as well. I'm actually doing GAPS which is slightly more restrictive.

Way harder psychologically than I expected!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2719021 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 17:23:12 +0000 Academicsocialite 2719021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So... today was my day one. I realize this is going to be hard for me to do, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Today's wins-no coffee (which I can't drink without milk), I went out for lunch to a place I researched in advance and had a brisket hash, so was compliant. I also went to a 5 year olds birthday party, and there was pizza, and I didn't have any.</p> <p>I'd kill for a glass of wine right about now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2718511 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:44:01 +0000 farawayyama 2718511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Commenting to follow. I plan to start the day after Easter. I need to fast for a medical procedure, so it feels like a clean start </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2718499 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:31:07 +0000 knittylady 2718499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Academicsocialite: yay!! I feel like it's going to feel like a good way to punish my body for the sad/mad feelings I have, but then on the flip side it will actually be a great way to heal it and hopefully prepare it for pregnancy in the future. #notcrazy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2718409 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 12:28:14 +0000 Academicsocialite 2718409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: I've decided to join!! I've never done anything like this, but I think the group support would be good for me right now. </p> <p>I'll have to break it to my daughter that our Saturday ShakeShack routine is going to have to go on hiatus though... She'll likely assume it's an April Fool's joke as I love that place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2718392 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 12:04:34 +0000 knittylady 2718392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are you all feeling about starting this weekend?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-interested-in-doing-the-whole-30#post-2716881 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 13:00:10 +0000 knittylady 2716881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wanna share meal plans for the first week? And what you'll prep?</p> <p>I'm planning on making like a quadruple batch of whole30 lemon marinade then grilling like 20 chicken breasts. I'll put some in fridge but the most in the freezer - or half and half? I'll also roast a bunch of sweet potatoes for the fridge...</p> <p>*So with all that chicken I'm hoping for lots of grilled chicken on salad with avocado, grilled portobello, and maybe even compliant bacon. This is one of my favorite meals in general so I'm hoping it'll help me feel that I'm not reinventing the wheel with all the new recipes... </p> <p>*Likely will roast a chicken and veggies and make rice for the kids to have with it.</p> <p>*Burgers from trader joes - buns for the kiddos. Make sweet potato fries for the side?</p> <p>*Whole30 chicken tikka masala in the crockpot.</p> <p>Hopefully all of that will cover the first week! Now to think of Breakfast.... </p>
