Breakfast: Apple sausage, sweet potatoes, bok Choy.
Lunch: 1/2 salmon can, raw spinach, peppers, pepper and salt, olive oil, and juice from one lime. This was delish!
Dinner: jambalaya with two chicken thighs and a handful of shrimp, I scooped the mixture out before I added sausage, rice, and chicken bullion to the pot. I added coconut oil to my bowl to meet the amount of fat required- you can see it hadn't melted yet:-).
So reading the whole30 book has helped me build my plate easier.
Protein should be between one and two Palm size.
Fat should be two thumb sized portions.
Nuts should be a closed handful.
Veggies should fill the rest of the plate.
This has seriously helped stave off cravings. It has also helped me in the compulsive eating/snacking department. I was so guilty of that before I started this. I remember having a wake up call when chris and I went out to eat and he couldn't finish his meal. I finished mine- was FULL and then came back home and was looking in the fridge minutes later.
They talk about it in the book- how the food we are eating is just not satisfying. The food that restaurants sell is intended to hit all the pleasure points but not your satiety point.
