Yesterday, on what was going to be my first day of my Whole30, I woke up feeling sick. I sat in our livingroom for about 5 minutes contemplating not starting. The problem was, I had purposely picked this time frame so I could do it before the holidays started. I knew that if I put it off, I would probably be looking at the new year as the next time I would try.
Then I thought, why would I put it off? I have done a Whole30 before. How would me being sick affect how I ate while sick? Wouldn't eliminating all allergens and stressors to my body actually be better? I don't eat and drink your common "sick" food anyway. There are no saltines (though my husband just asked for some for himself), 7-Up or chicken noodle soup in my house. Why would I feel the need to buy them?
I just stocked up on healthy meats, eggs and vegetables for my Whole30. Not to mention the bushel of apples we just picked up at the orchard last weekend. I realized I could make some nice, simple meals that will nourish me while feeling sick. I also already had a stock of frozen chicken and vegetable soup in the freezer. I was set!
My simple lunch of chicken and vegetable soup, turkey roll-ups with spinach and olives, an apple and plenty of water!
Tonight we will be having chicken that I threw in the crockpot along with vegetables, then off to bed! Overnight in the crockpot I will make bone broth to replenish what I am using, it sure comes in handy while sick!
Below is a link to a post on the Whole9 website about how to feed a cold. I found it helpful.
