Days 2-4

Day Four: 

Woke up with an awful headache this morning. This is supposed to be expected. 

Not much of an appetite so far today.

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, plain. An apple. A small cup of orange juice.

Lunch: Tilapia with coconut oil, lemon juice and Mrs. Dash's garlic and herb blend. Not feeling hungry, so nothing else.

Bought whole 30 approved cashew butter at Kroger, and I don't like it very much, so I made my own almond butter with some cinnamin and it's much better! It took 20-25 minutes to make, but it's worth it to have something rich to have with a banana or apple for desserts. I could probably add cocoa powder and it would be pretty good too.

Day Three:

Breakfast: I was tired of eggs for breakfast, so I made a fruit smoothe with a banana, frozen strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries (all unsweetened) and coconut milk and cinnamin.

Morning snack: Eggs (sigh) with onions, spinach, and tomato

Lunch: Chicken (from the crockpot) with spicy brown mustard and a dil pickle,and  a sweet potato with cinnamin

Snack: An apple

Dinner: Went out with friends to a specialty pizza place. I had a salad with spinach, mushrooms, egg, chicken, toasted pepitas, grape tomatoes, and bacon. (I had them hold the edamama (legume) and the dressing). I had oil and vinegar instead. The bacon probably wasn't whole 30 approved, but I'd say for eating that at one of my favorite pizza places, I didn't pretty well.

Day two:
Breakfast : scrambled eggs, spinach and onion

A banana

Lunch: steak, a salad with apple, avocado, red onion

Dessert: Lara bar

Snack: apple

Dinner: chicken in crockpot, spaghetti squash, sauteed onion and eggplant, sugar free tomato sauce.

Dessert : banana dipped in cocoa powder

Whole30

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in April of 2015. Since then I have done some research that shows that about 90% of people with this autoimmune disorder are also dairy and gluten intolerant, and that these things can cause flare-ups to the autoimmune disorder. Enter visit to nutritionist who recommended Whole 30.
