Whole30: Day 22

Day 22 today, and just like how the days have flown by, so has the snow. Pretty much overnight, the temperature went up to 3-5 Celsius, now turning some parts of the roads into high risk skating rinks. 
Conversations have already been held on what we would like to do after the whole30, what type of foods we'd re-introduce, and how we want to move on after the whole30.
Pretty much what it comes down to, is that chocolate, full-fat dairy & alcohol (not necessarily in that order) would make a comeback in our diet. 
My so has a deep love connection with the Greek yogurt (10%) from Lidl, and I have to admit, that stuff is pretty darn good.
Before the whole30, we didn't eat much dairy (so we thought) but looking back I realized milk, cheese and yogurt slowly started creeping back into our daily menu. Being Dutch, the cheese will probably come back every now and then too, it's in the genes :-)

I will cut milk out as much as possible, only to have it in a delicious cappuccino every now and then.
Side-note: I have a rather large collection of protein powders, so need to decide if and how I will re-introduce this. They are all whey proteins.
The chocolate will make a return for sure, but I will try to make it not a daily habit anymore, since I was having it pretty much every night after dinner.

Have to admit, I am looking forward to going out for dinner and enjoying a nice glass of wine, although I have not missed alcohol at all. 

That is the part I like about the whole30, it changes your relationship with food, habits, "reward systems" and gives your body a chance to reset itself.

Now, a blog is a public log of personal experiences, and even though it's a bit embarrassing to admit, it has to be addressed as well since it's part of my whole30 experience: for the last week I'm experiencing a LOT of gassy issues. There, I said it. 
Luckily, I'm not the only one, but now it's the trick to find out what causes this.... To be continued.

We kicked off today with eggs, bacon, avocado and a little scoop of applesauce. Got hungry at around 12.30, and had a more fishy lunch this time; shrimp, salmon, sweet potato, cauliflower & the spinach mix left-over from Thursday.

Lunch

Dinner was a rather quick meal between crossfit and an appointment, and was tuna, left-over kapunata, 1/2 avocado & salad.
