Day 28 of Whole30.

I went to see my dietitian at the UW yesterday. I showed her my numbers from FatSecret and she felt that my diet was too high in fat, worried about saturated fats and didn't understand why they eliminate legumes. All things I have questioned as well.

Coconut oil and ghee, she reminded me, were almost 100% saturated fat and I should keep that to 7% of my dietary intake for the day. The more I read the more I realize that this swing to eating so much fat and coconut oil is going to eventually backfire, just like all the low fat stuff did in the 90's. It's about MODERATION! Everyone hates moderation because it's so...moderate. Middle of the road and boring, but that's pretty much what sustainable weight loss is.

What I want to keep from my Whole30 experience:

-Limit sugar to the lowest amount possible. I'm not going to avoid every single sauce or condiment that has a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar in it, but I'm not adding sugar to foods myself anymore.

-No more sugar or erythritol in my morning coffee. Coffee doesn't taste as good, but that old way of doing it was not working out for my diabetes.

-Keep eating more and more veggies. More veggies with breakfast is a big one. Eat more veggie snacks during the day instead of fruit or nuts.

-Limit grains, even whole grains, and protograins like quinoa. I'm not afraid of gluten, it's just that it's so easy to overeat these things and I don't like the way they affect my blood sugar.

I'll end my round on June 8th. So just 5 more days to go. The first thing I'm going to re-introduce is dairy. I think I'll start with some yogurt since it's low in lactose and it's creamy and yummy. Not full fat yogurt though. I think that's more middle of the road and makes sense for my genetic background (Heart disease etc)

Oh and I can't wait to have a glass of WINE!!!
