Day 27re: filling up and other things

I've discovered I graze too much. The Whole30 template says 3 full meals and when I do it, I really don't need the snacking in between.

Another notion debunked: that only grains are filling. Like I need bread or rice to balance out a meal and fill me up. Nope. The good fats are a must. And adequate amounts if veg, too. Truth be told, I still think I need to keep upping my veg, it's the part if my meals I have to work at hardest. There's a good long term goal: learn more variations and flavor for adding more veg to my life.

Read the reintro chapter tonight. Fun to think about. On my non-gluten grain day I think I'll get a Chipotle bowl w brown rice and tortilla chips. Heh, oh wait... The meat has soy. Gotta think this through....then how bout the legume day and get the salad w black beans? heh, fun.

On a different note, I'm nervous about hidden oils or small mistakes I've made that didn't allow my body to get full benefit. The scallop w butter and 4 grains of rice... Did they keep my body from really getting full benefit? The dates... Was it too much sugar? I'm not seeing drastic changes. Wish I had measured. Hopefully my before and after photos will help me see change. Maybe my skin will clear up on day 29? Sigh.
