I actually posted on it and Urban said it could be my fat intake (possible since I cut carbs and upped fats in an effort not to loose weight and keep my performance up), or just my system adjusting to the increase in veggies. I believe it is a bit of both but probably more the latter. I'm about 40 days in (I cheat here and there now that I'm done with the Whole30), and while there is no discomfort, I'm not exactly to normal yet. <br /><br />As far as a log goes, I just logged everything I ate, how I felt, and hours of sleep I got into an excel spreadsheet. I didn't get caught up in amoutns. For instance, I measured almonds by the handful. 1 handful, 2 handfuls, etc. I share your gi problems with the diet.

What do you do for food logs? What have you tried that worked and what didn't? <br /><br />I'm not weighing and measuring, so when I started this 30 days about 10 days ago I didn't think I'd bother logging anything. Just focus on getting my 8 hrs of sleep and staying strict. Keep it simple. <br /><br />I'm having some gi issues the last week and I'm trying to figure out what the causes may be. I keep pretty detailed training logs and really preach the importance of this with clients. What I'd do there when a problem came up would be look at the logs, see what changed and what day the symptoms appeared to see if I could connect the dots. Would like to do that with my diet, but no logs exist.<br /><br />I've started a simple log today basically including what foods I ate (no quantities) at breakfast, what supplements I took, hrs of sleep and general feeling. I also made a few notes on what the main issue I have right now is and what I think the problem could be (too much fat / too much fish oil / too much fruit). <br /><br />I'd love to hear how others have approached this during the 30 days and after when reintroducing foods.

The Whole30 definitely knocked my cravings (and like everyone else, once I slip it is double the work not to keep sliding). I used to look forward to my morning yogurt so much more before the Whole30 as a yummy treat, along with my flavored (read sugar) coffee. <br /><br />Now, when I tried to incorporate it back in, I found it wasn't the treat part I liked anymore (and I ditched the flavored coffee, I am all black coffee with a little cocnut milk now!), it was the convenience and lower cost. I didn't have to get to work, go to the cafeteria everyday and cough up $5 for fresh eggs and sausage.<br /><br />Anyone have any suggestions on what I can prepare for breakfast and put into a container and bring to work? <br /><br />My husband made some killer carrot paleo cookies with mostly almonds, maybe with some turkey sausage and a small amount of fruit (I do zone paleo).....

You can also get yourself some high grade coconut oil, very stable at high temp, and flavorful.<br /><br />Roelant @ Jess, I use organic Butter sometimes.

We-our forbears, that is–ran, stalked, threw weapons at, and spent a lot of time chasing food (and running away from predators)

But from what I understand, it was subsiting on the 'Paleo' style of food sources, no?

I am cleaning up my dietary act–going Paleo, and my x-fit workouts are improving very rapidly–especially in the strength building arena.
(but I'm not totally Paleo in my eating yet)
Were you refering specifically to Met-con type workouts?
