Hellooo FS fam❣️
As I’m finishing up the last days of whole30, the reintroduction of trouble foods is the next part of the program. I’m going to skip introducing sugar 🍭 🍬 and alcohol 🍺 . I don’t plan to eat much added sugar and I’m not a fan of alcohol. My reintroduction timeline is going to look something like this (adapted from whole30.com):
* Day 31: Reintroduce legumes 🥜 all by themselves.
* Days 32-33: Back to the Whole30
* Day 34: Reintroduce non-gluten grains 🌽 all by themselves
* Days 35-36: Back to the Whole30
* Day 37: Reintroduce dairy 🥛 all by itself.
* Day 38-39: Back to the Whole30
* Day 40: Reintroduce gluten-grains 🌾 all by themselves.
* Day 41-42: Back to the Whole30
Finishing the reintroduction just in time for my NYC trip to eat bagels 🥯 and pizza 🍕❣️
During this time, I discovered even “healthy” foods can cause bloating. I was eating broccoli 🥦 and cauliflower, wound up with a preggo looking belly🤰because my body was having trouble breaking down the raffinose (natural sugar). My body more or less followed the Whole30 calendar, except I missed out on tiger blood 🐯 💉 .
I have been eating more carbs everyday in the form of fruit 🍓🍍🥭🍅🥑, sweet potatoes 🍠 , plantains 🍌 and veggies 🥦🥬🥒🥕🍅 AND still experienced weight loss. #CICO is still working even though I’m not counting anything. Don’t blame the carbs for what the calories did. 😉
I noticed when I was eating potato chips from the bag, my skin flared up. I learned that Omega 6 fats found in vegetable oils can cause acne. 🌋
Permanent changes that I will make:
1. Eat less chips, make it at home if I want it.
2. Eat cruciferous vegetables in moderation. Have broccoli 🥦 or cauliflower, be prepared if I have both in the same meal.
3. Add more tomatoes to my diet. I hated the taste of it growing up, but I see how good it is for me.
4. Continue to eat mostly home cooked meals. It was very easy to maintain my weight eating fresh delicious meals that I prepare to my liking. #realfoodies
