    So I went off plan a little this past weekend. For those who do go off plan, do you tend to just pick up where you left off (which I did), or do you start it off from the beginning?

    Oh I' m so glad I found this board. I started the whole30 a couple days ago but I keep slipping at night. If anyone wants to send a friend request that would be awesome. I'm trying to just keep going from where I am. I think since I keep slipping ill just add the days at the end.

    My problem is not getting enough calories I know they say not to record them, but I am diabetic and my doctor has implanted in my mind to track everything. So I find that by the end of the night I'm only up to 900-1000 calories I end up snacking on "bad food". Anyone have any good tips?

    Eating healthy fats up the cals, and puts the hunger in check, at least for me. If I add some ghee to my veggies, or cook with coconut oil, my cal count will be up there, although I try not to focus on counting so much. As diabetics, we need to make sure that we are eating often enough on top of everything else!

    Okay thank you for the ideas. I need to pick up some more coconut oil. :)

    The Whole30 for this month is coming to a close. I can't say that I've been 100%, yeah, I know, it defeats the purpose. However, it was very beneficial simply because I felt better, I've lost some inches, and my BG levels were in pretty good shape! A few more days to go and I will broaden my Paleo/Primal scope.
