4/14 check-in

[sallywalker]

I had a green smoothie for breakfast. This probably wasn't the best idea, but T wanted one.

L: grilled salmon with asparagus

D: spaghetti squash with meat sauce.

For some reason, I have been craving mashed sweet potato with Kerrygold lately. I've gone through a Costco bag of sweet taters in like two weeks.

Checking in here on 4/15. My D3.

So far so good, still learning what is the right amt of food to eat so I don't get hungry before my next meal.

But I have been loving everything I have been eating so far and feeling pretty good except for a damn headache last night which I read is normal. Hated getting that because I never get headaches and I really didn't eat so bad before W30 so it was a surpise.

B: scrambled eggs with tomato, pepper And onion, coffee blended with coconut oil and a half avocado
L: zoodles with meat sauce, 1/2 apple with little almond butter
D: Green salad with veggies and roasted pork, side of leftover roasted veggies

Question - I see salt is newly allowed. Does this mean any and all salt? I have been using TJs 21 seasoning salute because there is no added salt. It's decent but a seasoning with a little salt added might be nice! Thanks in advance.

I wasn't aware that salt had ever been off limits.

Everything else I gave up for W30, if I had had to give up salt, that would have been a deal breaker for me.

If you're (general you) removing all processed food from your diet and NOT eating salt, I'd be seriously concerned for you.

Luckily for me (specifically me) I am a salt fiend, so this is not an issue

Cooking is not worth it without salt. #teamsalt

I read on a forum - let me find it - that white potatoes and salt are the only changes from the original program. That these are now allowed. I have no idea how 'new' this info is though.

Also, everyone is always recommending these certain seasonings as 'whole30 approved' and when I looked at the ingredients they are always 'no salt added' so I thought that was why they were always being recommended. Like the TJs 21 seasoning salute.

ETA: So please god tell me I can sprinkle straight salt on my meats to season them!

Potatoes were a new addition last year.

On page 3, it lists table salt as an exception to the sugar rule: whole30.com/downloads/official-whole30-program-rules.pdf
