What's going on after 4 days of 21-Way and 21-Day Fix?

Over 4 days down on our 21-Days...how are you feeling?

So according to the Whole30 book, you may be feeling a little like you want to Eat All The Things you see.  Your body may be demanding the sugar you are used to, and your brain may really be desiring the sweet and salty foods you ate more of last week.  Do you need some mini-meals to help offset the hunger?  And are you really hungry or is your body just throwing a temper tantrum? 

If you are hungry enough to eat some broccoli or hard boiled eggs, then yes you are hungry.  So grab a snack to tide you over until your next full meal.  If the answer is no, then you are having a craving.  But don't panic!  Cravings really only last 3-5 minutes, so distract yourself!  Go for a walk, call a friend (call me anytime!!), go do some laundry (there's ALWAYS that to do) or whatever it takes to get you through.  Every time you resist a craving your Sugar Dragon gets defeated!

If you need a "sweet treat" after meal, try a bowl of blueberries in Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk, or try some tea. Start training your brain and body with some new habits.

For those of you on the 21-Day Fix, you may be feeling some of these same things.  Fill your containers, look up some new recipes and schedule your workouts.  The trainer, Autumn, is a great motivator!  Don't miss a day of her workouts - she gives you great tips, ideas and keeps you on track.

You may also find that your patience level with people is low.  It's normal!  And this too shall pass. So hang in there, post on our Facebook page because it helps everyone when we do!!
