Depending on what you were eating before, your body is probably going through withdrawal from certain foods. That is what is making you feel like crap. When I went mostly paleo, the same thing happened to me. But within a week or so, you should start to feel great. Lighter, more energy, and definitely losing weight. (But, remember, there is no scale during whole30 for a reason. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1023963 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:18:30 +0000 cyndistar3 1023963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay... I am having a really hard time not giving up. I have been doing this for 4 days now and I have never felt so tired since the beginning of my last pregnancy. Is that normal? Besides the fact that I broke down and weighed myself this morning and I have gained 4 lbs :( what am I doing wrong? For breakfast I have been eating eggs and fruit. For lunch I have been eating grilled salmon or chicken and veggies of sorts and for dinner I have had grilled chicken and veggies and fruit, baked chicken sweet potatoes and veggies and I have been drinking nothing but water this whole time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1020311 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:51:56 +0000 plantains 1020311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: @blackbird: you lost 4 pounds in your second trimester?! Holy cow, that is amazing.</p> <p>zomg, the cauliflower tortillas were bloody fantastic! A ittle bit of work, but I loooved them and DH did too. I'm going to get a pork shoulder and make slow cooker pulled pork just so I can keep making cauliflower tortillas!</p> <p>Day 4 and I totally forgot my lunch at home so I am eating deli buffet food. It is definitely paleo in spirit but I have no way of tellibng what dressings etc they used. Annoying.</p> <p>Breakfast - egg muffins with spinach, onions, tomatoes and chicken sausage.</p> <p>Lunch - roasetd veggies, salad, grilled chicken and steak</p> <p>Dinner - Baked cauliflower with broccoli and pork chops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1019549 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:31:26 +0000 blackbird 1019549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1019450 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:12:53 +0000 Running Elley 1019450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: Report back on how the cauliflower tortillas come out! I've been wanting to try them but I'm chicken lol. </p> <p>Today I had a banana with almond butter for breakfast, ill have some carrots and grapes as a snack, grilled chicken for lunch with squash and sausage, red potatoes and broccoli for dinner!</p> <p>It's been going really well for me! I've been having trouble not weighing too. I had an OB appt this morning though and he weighed me. I've lost 4 pounds since last week! I seriously think my body hates gluten. Whenever I stop eating it I drop weight fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1018816 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 09:42:34 +0000 plantains 1018816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: how is the whole 30 treating you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1015546 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:07:15 +0000 plantains 1015546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is everyone doing? </p> <p>I'm on day 3. Only 27 more days till I can have wine hahaha. </p> <p>Breakfast - Egg Muffins ala Mrs Bee</p> <p>Lunch - tomato salad, roasted chicken and a green salad in the side</p> <p>Dinner - Fish tacos served on cauliflower tortillas</p> <p>I have never made cauliflower tortillas so this should be an interesting experiment. </p> <p>I feel pretty decent at the moment, but of course the torture of not weighing in is killing me. I don't know that I can go 30 days. I might cave a weigh in once a week on Fridays only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1010626 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:09:21 +0000 Running Elley 1010626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: It was the first time that I tried it.

I'm so glad that you're jumping on board :)</p> <p>Today's Menu: Green smoothie for breakfast (spinach, peach, mango, strawberries and a little almond milk), snack of baby carrots plus a banana with almond butter, leftovers for lunch (chicken kebobs- chicken, red bell pepper, pineapple and red potatoes), no clue what my afternoon snack will be and baked tilapia, steamed broccoli and baked sweet potato fries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1009994 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 10:38:32 +0000 plantains 1009994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started this morning. Had an omelette with peppers and tomatoes for breakfast, steak salad is the plan for lunch and then roasted chicken with tomato salad and sauteed kale for dinner. </p> <p>I'm probably going to do primal as opposed to full paleo because I need to have a splash of milk in my coffee and a dash of cheese in my eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1004902 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:06:22 +0000 Running Elley 1004902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I need more veggie snack ideas... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-the-whole-30-tomorrow-anyone-want-to-join/page/3#post-1004901 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:05:53 +0000 Running Elley 1004901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Yummy!!!

I made 'sloppy joes' (not quite, but Whole-30 version) and was going to use cabbage leaves for mine and bread for DH's, but that delicious smelling fresh bread was too tempting and it won! </p>
