Whole30 Coconut Chicken

I have hit this magical stage that the Whole30 calls Tiger Blood!

People at work think I have lost it as I keep telling them, 3 more days until Tiger Blood hits as if is common knowledge. Of course, everyone at work was eager to know how Tiger Blood day one was going. I even had a phone full of Tiger blood memes which include the beauty to the right.
Well, here is the truth. I don’t think my Tiger Blood stage is like the light switch that the book described. The crazy dreams have ended, and people are starting to notice that my waist and face are thinner. This is always an awesome feeling, but I assumed Tiger Blood stage would feel different. For goodness sakes, Whole30 called it something so bad ass.

16 days in and I can see the change in my cravings and habits. Where I use to crave greasy, sugary and fatty food after a long day, I am now looking for great conversations with a friend. I truly feel my emotional eating will be a thing of the past after these 30 days. We are on the downward slope and I can already see my changed habits as the normal fix was cut out.

To celebrate receiving tiger blood, I made coconut shrimp and chicken for dinner.
