Things you cannot live without during a whole30

The mayo is great with steak or chicken and for making chicken or tuna salad or deviled eggs 2) Canned full fat coconut milk - use in my coffee! 3) Coconut oil - I cook with…

DAY 9!
It's Day 9 already! (For the majority of us... some are ahead and some are behind). How is everyone feeling/doing? I feel pretty good, but feel like I'm not getting enough veggies. I need to do something about that... Otherwise, resisting temptations hasn't been hard at all. This gets easier every time I do it!

New Foods You Find Yourself Loving
Since going paleo and doing my first Whole30s, there are a lot of foods that I have tried for the first time and now love or that I used to hate and now love: 1) Coconut. I used to HATE anything with coconut in it. Now I use coconut milk and oil daily and use coconut flakes occasionally too! 2) Avocado. I used to think it…

Stupid Things People Say
I work with some serious sugar zombies... Sugar-addicted Coworker: I'm hungry, but have nothing to eat. Me: I have a ton of food in the fridge! Would you like some avocado, veggies, meatloaf or a chicken breast with ranch seasoning? Sugar-addicted Coworker: NO! I want something that actually sounds good! She went on to…

I'm looking to increase my protein to 100-125g/day. Currently I average about 50-75g. I don't want to resort to protein powders (nothing against them, I would just rather eat real food). Any suggestions? I already eat 3 eggs at breakfast and some sort of meat at lunch & dinner. I have no trouble meeting my fat or carb…

HUGE pet peeve of mine. Learn to spell. You do not loose weight, you lose it.

Food is Fuel
You wouldn't pour dirty dish water in your car's fuel tank and expect it to run well, would you? So why eat garbage and expect your body to perform? Reading some people's diaries makes me sad. I would be seriously depressed if I lived off of Slim Fast shakes and Special K bars (yuck!) Come on, people! Pick up a vegetable…

Book-It Starts with Food ~ Anyone read it?
http://whole9life.com/itstartswithfood/ This book was just released and because my husband and I are planning to do the Whole30 program (we've been paleo for a few months now), I bought it.
