3/3 check in

Day ?

Is there a meal you eat on repeat?

I wish my intestines liked salad. I really do enjoy it, but my colon does not

On that note, I'm considering shelling out the big bucks for soil based probiotics after our financial situation stabilizes.

Do you have a link? I know that I need to get on some sort of probiotics, my stomach is still a mess even after being gluten and dairy free for 2 months.

The brand I'm looking at is Prescript Assist.

HOWEVER, if you've never tried "normal" not soil based probiotics, definitely give that a try first - like Jarrow. I am interested in the soil based because the regular ones aggravate my histamine issues. There are far cheaper ways for people who don't break out into hives every time something is slightly off

I haven't really tried anything beyond Coconut Yogurt with probiotics at this point. I'm going to Whole Foods today and I know that they carry them, maybe I'll check there before moving on. I just want my digestive issues better, and I'm hoping that the addition of probiotics helps, because I don't really want to follow an AI Protocol if I don't have to. I'm trying really hard to get this all figured out. If the probiotics don't work, I think I'm going to need to get tested, I've been worried for years that I might have something more "wrong" than I know about.

For sure try a regular probiotic then.

I'm on Day 2 of my second W30.

Last night, we had sirloin filets with (compliant) bacon wrapped around them with mushrooms and onions, sweet potato fries, and green beans. It's definitely a favorite meal.

Another favorite meal is what I'm making tonight - pork loin chops baked with apples/onions and rosemary red-skinned potatoes.

D17. Ditto the salads on repeat. Especially since I made all of mine for the week at the same time.

B: Eggs with tomatoes, spinach and onions
L: Salad with spinach, cucumbers, beets, peppers and chicken. Blueberries
D: Chicken "sausage" with spaghetti squash and some other veggies - probably leftover brussels sprouts.

Day 10. Breakfasts are a repeat (either strawberry/banana/coconut shreds/coconut milk or a sausage sweet potato hash). If I forget my lunch, I always get the same thing from the cafeteria (salad with grilled chicken, cucumbers, carrots, olives, and a oil/balsamic mix for dressing). We keep dinners pretty varied.

W40

breakfast is usually eggs with some sort of meat and whatever veggies we have on hand, then baked. On the weekends I will make my family pancakes or French toast and I will have meat/veggie/egg scramble. guacamole is a repeat and so is salsa verde, its my favorite salsa and I eat it with almost everything.

I'm new to this board and hope to check in regularly. Just started a Whole30 yesterday, so this is day two. I had success eating Paleo pretty strictly for a bit last year, but didn't fully commit, so I'm picking this month (no vacations, big event plans, etc.) to buckle down and do it. Hoping for some improvement in my sinus health and general seasonal allergy situation, plus weight/fat loss.

Anyway, day two for me. I expect taco salads to be a recurring meal for me. We make a big batch of pressure-cooked pork shoulder in our Instant Pot that can then be crisped up a bit for carnitas or added to other recipes. I love making a big salad of green leaf lettuce, sliced colorful peppers, avocado, and cilantro topped with carnitas and fresh salsa/pico de gallo as a dressing. I also use the Instant Pot to make 10 hard-boiled eggs on Sunday nights and eat two daily.

Day 3
No favourite meals yet, but as I try some of the ones listed by previous posters, I think I'll get some

B: sausages, banana, strawberries, coffee with coconut milk
L: chicken and stir fried veggies (peppers onions water chestnuts carrots) on spaghetti squash
Apple mid afternoon - I'm having a really rough time making it from lunch to supper without eating
S: ground beef in veggie pasta sauce (celery peppers garlic onions), with green beans (the rest of the family ate it on spaghetti), more coffee with coconut milk

Day 2 of my second whole30.

We usually have burgers and salad once a week. It's easy and satisfies that fast/junk food craving. I also eat a banana and almond butter for breakfast almost every weekday.

Breakfast: banana, almond butter

Lunch: leftover pork chop with green beans and potatoes

Dinner: yep, burger and salad night

Day 3: So far it hasn't been too difficult, but I have had to be more mindful about what I eat. Like, I had an all day meeting on Monday where lunch was provided, so I had to basically load up on lunch meat and vegetables and skip the brownies. I felt pretty proud of keeping it together in that situation though and hope to keep that resolve as time goes on.

B: Egg bake with tomatoes and shallots, sweet potato hash.
L: Ground turkey with tomato sauce and boiled shredded cabbage and carrots, blueberries.
D: Salad with shrimp, onions, and avocado with oil/balsamic vinegar.
S: Cashews
