Yesterday I started my Whole30-diet. This is what I ate:

Breakfast:
2 fried eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 1 tomato

1 banana

Lunch:
salad of lettuce, rocket, half-dried tomatoes, pine tree nuts, some aspargus and a tiny bit of beetroot (wasn't sure wether these were paleo though  )

1 apple

Dinner:
2 pieces of chicory, fried with some herbs and some coconut milk
Some raw mushrooms

After roller derby practice:
Cup of coconut milk with boiled water (50/50) and a spoon of chai spices.

I was planning to eat more for dinner, but roller derby always interferes with my evening meal... Overall I felt excited about starting the 30 days and felt energetic and not hungry at all.

Thursday's menu:

Breakfast:
2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 1 tomato, all fried.

Feeling a lot better than yesterday already, more energetic and satisfied after breakfast.

Munchies:
1 banana
some pistachios

Lunch:
Fatty pork chop

In between:
more pistachios

Dinner:
Big bowl of salad: iceberg, tomato, onion and a grated carrot, together with some slices of courgette, mushrooms and 3 strips of bacon fried in the fat rendered from the pork chop. Dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Weird, I know.

Dessert:
Home-made icecream:
1/2 avocado
1 banana
a good splash of coconut milk

Mash the banana and the avo. Put in ice cream container, mix until you have a nice consistency and pop it in the freezer. Mix every hour so it won't go rock solid.
It's pretty good, and the taste is even close to real ice cream. Will experiment more with this concept! Suggestions welcome

Then: more pistachios. It's physically impossible to open a bag and not finish it, isn't it?

By the way, I'm drinking loads of water, some tea and try to limit my coffee consumption.

Still hungry... and really tired. Had to take a powernap during lunchtime

You don't seem to be eating enough. Or at least you eat a lot of plants and not much meat. Eat meat, fatty meat.

2 small sausages

Read the ingredients list. Some have starches added, vegetable oil, etc.

Some anchovis (in oil)

Unless in olive oil (non paleo but probably ok), go for sardines in water. Most sardines come in sunflower or soybean oil.

Breakfast:
Fried some cubes of zucchini, half a yellow bell pepper, 3 chunky mushrooms, 2 strips of bacon (teared into shorter bits). Added two eggs by the end to scramble. Mjum.

Lunch:
Salad (mixed lettuce), some tomato and nicely fried pieces of chicken breast (at a restaurant).

In between:
About 3oz of macadamia nuts and a banana.

Dinner:
Skewers of fatty pork chop, green and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and mushroom, marinated in a dressing of olive oil, various freshly picked garden herbs, clove of garlic and some peper & salt.

Desert:
Scoop of the self made ice cream and half a mango.

Felt quite good today. Just a bit blend in the evening, but that was probably because I didn't arrange anything for a nice Friday night out so I stayed in... bored to death, bleuh.

I felt really satisfied after dinner, realized that I should keep some of the meat for tomorrows breakfast, as to not overeat in the evening.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Ghent festival (Belgium), which will be quite a challenge, as the festival is know for it's beer stands everywhere and the smell of fresh baked non-paleo yumminess (fries, hamburgers, ..). I'm up for it, bring it on! 

Monday, July 25th:

Monday

Yay, I've survived my first week of the Whole30! And I am feeling really great too. My energy levels are way up and I feel happy and confident. My skin looks good too.

Breakfast:
Chicken leg and mushrooms, baked in butter.

In the late afternoon:
An apple
A banana

Early dinner:
Some pitta meat (lamb) with some salad.

Dinner dinner:
Tuna salad: lettuce, tuna, tomato, capers and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar

I felt energetic and bubbly all day.

Dessert:
Home-made icecream:
1/2 avocado
1 banana
a good splash of coconut milk

I've made something similar before with avocado and banana, but instead of freezing it, I threw it in a blender with some dried coconut flakes and some unsweetened cocoa powder to make a chocolate pudding. You can sweeten it a bit with stevia, honey, or agave nectar. You can also put strawberries in it too. I suppose you could freeze what I make, and it's like ice cream.

I've also hear about soaking cashew nuts, and adding fresh coconut milk, vanilla, and honey to freeze like an ice cream concoction of sorts. 

Stevia sweetener and agave nectar are not paleo.  Hunter gatherers tend to eat a lot of honey and it may be paleo, but it's probably not a good thing to eat in any quantity.

Friday

Breakfast:
2 small sausages, 2 strips of bacon, 1 egg, all fried in a small lump of butter.

Lunch:
1 apple
Salad: cabage, endive, white cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli (all raw) and bacon, no dressing.


Dinner:
1 whole broccoli, steamed and sprinkled with crushed and slightly toasted pecans


__________
Saturday

Breakfast:
1 chicken leg (thy and leg), 1 leek, fried in butter

Lunch:
1 banana
Nuts and some dried fruit and coconut
1 dry sausage, local butcher's made

Dinner:
At Wagamamas: Hefty bowl of steak salad, containing a lot of taugé (and I'm afraid that's not paleo, since it's actually soy.. ), some chilli, cabage leaves and bits of beef steak.

Nibbles: a few macadamia nuts. Mmmm...
