Feeling pretty good tho today I would've loved to have ordered dinner and made myself a martini. I did not do either, though I did have a few Whole30 friendly olives.

A few observations so far:
1. I am enjoying what I'm eating and haven't found myself hungry.
2. I am skeptical that I'll really lose much weight because I feel like I'm eating a lot of (yes healthy) fat.
3. But I'm enjoying eating above mentioned fat - coconut oil, olive oil, ghee, avocado… yum
4. Lunch seems to be the biggest challenge but not impossible. Breakfast is getting boring but it's easy. I'm not afraid of boring auto-meals for breakfast so it's fine.
5. I'm discovering lots of new foods and ways of cooking that I think will stick beyond the program.
6. In fact, I think I'm going to continue this lifestyle beyond the 30 and just treat myself here and there. I like how I'm feeling.
And that's about it.
Some people on a Whole30 recipe exchange board mentioned that they get 'tipsy' on kombucha. I never knew that! Now I might have to try kombucha ;-)
Last night I made organic pork chops, yucca and salad. Tonight I made organic steak, leftover yucca, a zucchini sautee, some sliced plantains and a few slices of avocado. It sounds like a lot but it was just a little of each thing. It was soooo yummy.
How are things with you?

Hi Jen!
It's the start of day 8 for me today. I have been feeling great and actually managed to avoid all the other side affects that others have described and also according to the Whole30 timeline... until yesterday. My energy was in the dumps! And today.. I didn't even want to get out of bed. So I grabbed a warm blanket and moved to the couch. HA! I haven't strayed a single bit. I have stayed 100% compliant and can't believe how committed I have become with minimal cravings. I just wish I had more energy.. and totally hoping this passes QUICKLY as I live an active lifestyle in a ski resort, mountain town!!
Any suggestions?
Signed..

Hi Jen, I didn't have too much of an energy slump but I definitely still enjoyed my morning coffee and some green tea here and there. I think the energy should return in a day or two. How are you feeling now?
The energy slump will pass, I promise!!
Also, kombacha has slight traces of alcohol ion it, says on the bottle. That is what is making everyone tipsy!!
I'm working out regularly through this. Anyone else? I feel awesome!
