– I still feel very focused on it, and I am not struggling at all as a whole. Yes, there are days where I want carbs and sweets. Most of the time I’ll eat fruit or a few nuts or something. – This week, I tried to add in more vegetables and I think I did a decent job. I’ve said it before, but Greg and I aren’t huge meat eaters, so this has probably the biggest adjustment. – I’m not sick of eggs. I actually ate eggs and egg whites all the time before Whole30. – I’ve used my food processor more in the last two weeks than I did in the last year. – I made some Whole30 mayo and it turned out great! Granted, we don’t really eat a lot of mayo. I made it for a potato salad, and I loved it. – I’m not hungry and I’ve stopped thinking about food. – This way of eating is becoming more natural and automatic to me.

I didn’t snack very much, but when I did it was usually fruit, nuts, baby carrots with baba ganoush, or a Larabar in the mid afternoon. I usually eat lunch pretty early, around 11:30, so something in the afternoon is needed to tide me over. As far as staples, I have been using a lot of canned coconut milk. I always drink sparkling water instead of soda, but it’s worth mentioning because it’s Whole30 approved. I buy the HEB brand, but LaCroix is also great. Eggs are definitely a staple. I also made a baba ganoush and it was super yummy (instead of cumin I used paprika, and added a little bit more garlic and lemon juice than the recipe suggests).
