Boring but filling!!! I also mix boiled eggs with a can of low sodium albacore tuna and mustard ( I used organic regular mustard but there are recipes for paleo/whole 30). It's actually pretty yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248611 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 08:33:39 +0000 catlady 2248611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not but the elimination diet I had to do for LO was similar (except I could have grains but could not have nuts). I filled up on alot of fats where I could, especially avocado and coconut. I had coconut everything - ice cream, smoothies, butter, even coconut chips. One of my favorites was baked sweet potato slathered in coconut butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248554 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 07:46:21 +0000 blackbird 2248554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: that's definitely a fair amount of fats! You also might have better luck ensuring your meals are combos of fat/protein/carbs (aka more sweet potatoes lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248535 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 07:26:19 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2248535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm not opposed to grains. I've just always wanted to do a Whole30 and see if anything that was currently in my diet is having a negative affect. Over the course of the rest of the day I had 1.5 avocados, a Larabar and my breakfast was cooked in coconut oil. It seems like a lot of fats to me but I don't really know. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248485 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 06:10:04 +0000 blackbird 2248485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what you're eating the rest of the day, but a couple scoops of coconut butter may definitely not be enough fat unless you're getting ample elsewhere. I eat a lot of protein now that i'm lifting again, and 12 meatballs seems pretty low to me. i would aim for more like 5 ounces or so of a lean meat and see what that does. </p> <p>Also, your body may just be craving complex carbs. Personally, I am fuller when I get them in my diet, but I am one of those people who does well with whole grains and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248478 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 04:34:01 +0000 rosegold 2248478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>have also been wondering about whole30 while ebf!!! we ought to have a recipe/experience thread going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248463 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 22:49:44 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2248463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When breastfeeding I had to be a bit more snacky. Nuts, nut butters, fruit, avocado... All good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248453 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 22:08:02 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2248453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I just finished the whole 30 a week ago. Definitely from what you wrote I would add more fat! Just as a note, my supply totally tanked and it was only good on days I ate a lot of starchy veg or fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248436 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 21:32:04 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2248436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: I LOVE smoothies! And strawberries :) </p> <p>I'm really curious to see the permanent changes I may need to make to my diet once this is over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248432 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 21:26:01 +0000 lady grey 2248432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: sure! I've done two whole 30s and am eating primal now, with the guidance of a nutritionist. Really trying to make this a long term way of eating. I need to since I'm a sugar addict :bummed: </p> <p>Do you like smoothies? This would be a good one for you:<br /> <a href="http://www.preppypaleo.com/2013/11/paleo-strawberries-cream-smoothie.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.preppypaleo.com/2013/11/paleo-strawberries-cream-smoothie.html</a><br /> Esp. since flax seed is suppose support a good milk supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248426 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 21:15:15 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2248426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: @lady grey: thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248421 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 21:12:07 +0000 lady grey 2248421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you may need more fat and complex carbs, along with plenty of protein (which it sounds like you're getting). Try eating more avocado, almond butter, coconut milk, nuts/seeds, squash, beets, apples, almond milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248407 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 20:48:12 +0000 simplyfelicity 2248407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done a whole 30 but not while bf...I would say you are missing fat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-did-the-whole30-while-ebf#post-2248406 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 20:36:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2248406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you do to stay full? Tomorrow will mark 14 days of my second attempt at a Whole30. The first time I tried I got a nasty stomach bug 5 days in and couldn't hang while I was vomiting. I really don't want to give up this time but geez, I'm STARVING and it's not for lack of eating. For example, for dinner I had 12 chicken and pineapple meatballs, an entire bag of steam able broccoli, half a bag of steamed green beans, a banana, 2 spoons of coconut butter, a small sweet potato (size of my fist), and some raspberries. I average about 200 ounces of water a day so I know it couldn't possibly be thirst. Any suggestions? </p>
