Day 61 Friday, November, 11, 2016
Today is the day I start reintroduction. I am quite nervous!! I am glad to have so much information from my Whole30 books and online. I feel more prepared. They recommend introducing one food group at a time while keeping the rest of your diet Whole30 compliant. The first thing they suggest to reintroduce is legumes, which include peanuts. I started off the day around 6:30 eating an apple smothered in peanut butter. I felt a little guilty eating peanut butter… It was smooth and creamy and tasted pretty good. After I worked out at the gym. I sauteed zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms spinach and heated up some leftover pork and scrambled 3 eggs into it. I added about 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce near the end of cooking to reintroduce soy. Although I don’t really like soy sauce I wanted to see how I would react. It was pretty tasty and I was hungry so I ate it all. About 30 minutes later, my stomach started gurgling and feeling uncomfortable. I had to run to the bathroom and I have terrible diarrhea. I am thinking it is the soy sauce, and that my body doesn’t like that. I realize now that it might be beneficial to separate peanuts from soy, but maybe next time. That’s why I want to take these notes. For lunch Greg and I went to Red Robin so Greg could partake of the free lunch that Red Robin offered to veterans today. He enjoyed his big ole burger and bottomless fries. I enjoyed my Avo-Cobb grilled chicken salad with Italian dressing. Tonight for dinner we had taco salad. I reintroduced black beans, which is usually how I make my taco meat, mixed into the meat. I piled the lettuce on my plate then the meat and beans then some fresh salsa and tomatoes and cucumbers. So far so good. I don’t know what my upset was from this morning. I was reminded by my sister Jen that soy sauce has wheat in it!! I have been looking up soy today on the inter-webs and found this website and now I really want to keep soy out of my diet!! Anyway, today was a pretty good day aside from the bathroom trip earlier. I will see how the next few days go. I am supposed to wait a couple of days before reintroducing the next food group. I believe the next thing to introduce is not gluten grains, for instance oatmeal, quinoa, corn,...I will keep you posted.
