Well I am nearing the end of another month of Whole30 and whilst the weight loss has not been as good as the first I continue to enjoy it immensely. Well apart from last week at least.
I neglected to go shopping on Sunday for reasons I cannot recall but before I knew it I was running short of all sorts of stuff and time seemed to get away from me. I also started a new job on the Monday so things were just pretty hectic. I wasn’t eating badly, just cobbling things together or compromising here and there and I quite suddenly found myself thinking about food more than I had been.
Well, by Friday I was like a man possessed. By the time I got home from work I could think of nothing but eating. Everything. I didn’t care what it was, I was ready to eat it.
Salsa from the belly button of a syphilitic tramp? Yeah count me in. Horse scrotum hot dogs in week old buns? Yes freaking please. Flame grilled just-about-anything from a sexual deviant’s food truck smothered in his extra sticky ‘special sauce’. I’ll take two with some of those really really dirty fries.
Anyway I think you get the picture.
Fortunately the fridge was empty apart from some past its best garlic bread, a bottle of champagne and some Tiramasu, Now I may have been desperate enough to wolf down a milkshake made with Bridgette Nielsen’s 54 year old breast milk but I have to draw a line somewhere – I’m not a bloody animal and that stuff I cannot abide.
Anyway, by the time I had eaten 6 chicken thighs cooked with chorizo and a packet of Mr Ben’s quite delicious spicy rice the red mist faded and as I licked the last pickings from my fingers a sense of sanity returned.
I have since been shopping and have some fabulously yummy and healthy stuff in and all planned out for the week and feel it was a valuable lesson learned about myself and what triggers me.
Bon appetit!
Truth is, you will always eat poorly when you’re ravenous. You’ve gotten your body used to a new style, you deviated and it gave you hell. Glad you’re back on track. 😊

Pretty simple really I think I just got a recipe from the internet I take a massive bag of tomatoes and I take out all of the seeds and give them a good course chop and then I take a large red onion and I cut that pretty fine as well I then add salt and pepper and the juice from at least one lime and I had a hefty load of coriander and some fresh garlic and then depending on my mood I will either go for some red chili chopped fine and occasionally I will add some jalapeno with the seeds taken out because I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to anything super hot. Sometimes I will even add a little yellow or green pepper chopped fine for a little bit of crunch but mostly I think it’s the combination of the Coriander and onions and lime that really does it for me. I seen loads of different ways of making it and some reasons that get cooked and all sorts I just love the freshness of it to be honest but I’m always looking at new ways to make it and now and again or try something a little different
