Whole30-Week 3, 2014

We are over the halfway mark!  By now, your pants are probably fitting a little looser and your energy should be fully charged.  For some of you, weight-loss isn't quite noticeable yet.  For others, cooking dinner is becoming fun again for them.  Where ever you lay within that, I hope that you all are beginning to enjoy food in a new way.  My challenge to the group this week was to eat something that you used to dislike before.  Your taste buds are changing and you may actually like that food now.  For me, it was shredded coconut, but I now love my monkey salads!

Week 3

• Baked Tilapia with Root Vegtable & Califlower Puree
• Roasted Chicken and Sautéed Swiss Chard and Red Onion
• Thai Lifesaving Curry
• Steak and Berry Salad-omit cheese for W30
• Curried Cream of Broccoli Soup

Hope you all are enjoying these meals and ideas for dinner.  What is your favorite W30 recipe?

Whole30-Week 2, 2014

You did it! We are out of the first week of the Whole30 and starting the second.  How are you all feeling?  I am noticing I have more on my plate (no pun intended) this time around then I did the first round.  Makes a huge difference in the time commitment and preparations for meals and such. 


Week 2

• Burgers with Caramelized Onions and Holy Moly Guacamole
• Pan Seared Chicken and Baked Sweet Potato with Ghee
• Taco Salad
• Stuffed Green Pepper Soup

What have you noticed causing you to stumble through the W30?  What victories are you seeing?

Eggs are not dairy and coffee is okay!

Here we are on day five of the Whole30 and I hope everyone is feeling great!  Some of the comments and questions I have received are so different from the last W30.  However, this was the first time I had people asking me about eggs.  Eggs are sold in the refrigerated section but are not dairy. 


From Webster...

dairy

noun, often attributive \ˈder-ē\

: a farm that produces milk
: a place where milk is kept and butter or cheese is made

: a company that sells milk and foods made from milk (such as butter and cheese)

plural dair·ies

CloseStyle: MLA APA Chicago

Full Definition of DAIRY

1

:  a room, building, or establishment where milk is kept and butter or cheese is made

2

a :  the department of farming or of a farm that is concerned with the production of milk, butter, and cheese

b :  a farm devoted to such production

3

:  an establishment for the sale or distribution chiefly of milk and milk products

So, eggs are okay on the W30.  Please be using them as a source of protein!  If you chose not to eat them for other reasons, so be it, but they are not considered dairy.  Yeah! 

Coffee beans are not the same as legumes, I will just let the W30 team explain it here. 

If I didn't get to have coffee, W30 would be a completely different challenge for me! 

What are your thoughts about having coffee and eggs on the W30?
