I second both of the previous suggestions. Most of the recipes I have gotten are from Nom Nom Paleo and Clothes Make the Girl. The latter also has a book called Well Fed. Almost all of the recipes are Whole30 approved, and the Kindle version (which is accessible through the phone app or through cloud reader on your computer) is only $10. It's a great book. There's a sequel, but I don't have that one so I can't speak to it. It is important to note, we like more simple foods, so some of the recipes in Well Fed were a little bit overseasoned. The Creamy spice market kale was the worst offender, the spice blend she has you make is delicious, but a little bit goes a long way!
Here is a list of good websites taken from the Whole30 website
Here are a few of my boyfriend's and my favorite recipes from our current Whole30 (we are on day 28):
Spicy Pineapple Salsa. We used less jalapeno and less red onion, because when the salsa sits in its own juices overnight, these flavors become extremely pungent.
Balsalmic Vinaigrette and the Asian Ginger dressing from this website. We haven't tried any of the other recipes yet, but the two we tried were delicious! We used a little less balsalmic vinegar than was called for, so it would have a bit less bite.
Sweet Potato Hash. I've tried this with a variety of spices and all attempts have been delicious!
This avocado chicken salad was so good that we ate it for lunch for two weeks straight. Of course, after that, we were totally sick of it. Worth it, though.
CHILI! I seriously cannot say enough good things about this Chili. I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio, and this chili is extremely similar to our local fare. Add some cinnamon for extra Cincinnati flavor! We've gone through an average of a batch per week because it is so good. Eat it on baked sweet potatoes. Eat it on sweet potato hash. Eat it on squash. Eat it on veggies. Use it as dip for raw veggies. Eat it with eggs and veggies and sweet potatoes. It's delicious in every way imaginable. AND you can double the recipe and freeze half to save on time. Just make sure that if you double it, you watch the simmer... with a larger batch it takes longer to reach a simmer, and I almost burned mine by turning it up too high to start simmering! This is also a good beginner recipe. It's really easy, and it's so delicious that you'll be shocked you're allowed to eat it. I attribute our Whole30 success largely to the success of this recipe.
Here's a good sausage seasoning recipe. I found that it was difficult to find compliant sausage, so I just bought plain ground pork or chicken and made my own sausage. For chicken sausage, I used Italian seasoning, extra rosemary, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Play around with different flavors! You could even make curry sausage if you wanted to!
Cilantro lime cauliflower rice. I was really skeptical about cauliflower rice at first. But it's actually very delicious. It's a great option if, like me, you don't really like cauliflower. If you make a big batch, reheat it separately. We made the mistake of reheating it with some meat and sauce on it, and reheating with the sauce already on made it a little too squishy.
Bonus: we haven't tried this one yet but it sounds so tasty that I had to share... Pineapple Ginger chicken wings. It says appetizer, but I'm pretty sure I could eat this for a meal and be perfectly happy.
Breakfast casseroles. I don't have a specific link, as I haven't found one online that I like, but if you want, I can give you my favorite breakfast casserole recipe that I've made so far.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I hope this was helpful!
I'm not currently doing a Whole30, but here are some W30-compliant recipes I've been loving lately. Even though it's summer, I still love warm food!
Slow Cooker Butter Chicken. THIS IS SO GOOD, and my boyfriend and I usually get 3 meals each out of it. Have this turmeric cauliflower (either cauli heads or riced) on the side: 1 large cauliflower, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 3 tbsp coconut oil. Toss the cauli in the spice mixture and coconut oil, roast on a sheet pan at 425F for 30 minutes.
(The cauli recipe comes from this cookbook, which obviously isn't 100% W30-compliant, but damn there are so many recipes in here to give your veggies some variety.)
Easy Pulled Pork. We've made this pulled pork sans tacos during W30 and ate it with roasted veggies like carrots, sweet onions, sweet potatoes or red potatoes.
Fall Harvest Turkey Thai Soup. So, so delicious, but if you're not used to eating red curry paste, you may want to use half the amount of it, or even pass on it completely.
Ha, I'm definitely in the hate-washing-dishes category with you. Luckily my almost-husband lost a bet and now he has to do all the dishes ALL the time.
Some general tips:
Hope this helps a little! Have fun this weekend!
It gets way better! Generally My stomach is pretty messed up from medication but when I eat right with whole 30 I have no problems. For your coffee try Nut Pods As far as being hungry and feeling drained the first few days try to make sure you are eating enough and for our first dinner we always do steak, sweet potato and veggies. So filling and satisfying. Bring sweet potato to work to help with the energy slump and these RxBars help with that too. Nuts are also good to snack on. Eating healthy while doing a 12 hour shift was never easy but you just have to make time. You'll feel better after the first week. Hang in there!
I have several cookbooks that I used (and you still have time to get them from Amazon if you wish).
Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook
Well Fed <-- GET THIS ONE IT IS AMAZING
Paleo Comfort Foods
Some of the recipes needed some tweaking to remove added sugar / whole30 non-compliant foods. All the recipes in Well Fed are 100% compliant though, and they're AMAZING.
The good thing is that many of these cookbooks have a "meal plan" in their intro pages, so you can look to that for guidance.
Additionally, these resources should help you out:
http://nomnompaleo.com/recipeindex (She also has a whole30 guide here)
http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/category/recipes/
As always, vet these recipes to make sure there aren't any added sugars or tamari or anything like that. In general, though they should be ok. I sat down beforehand and made 3 weeks of meal plans and shopping lists so I had NO EXCUSES, and then sort of winged it the last week (LOTS of leftovers).
From my experience, I was unprepared for the amount of food I was cooking. I only planned dinners, and budgeted the leftovers for lunches. Even so I was still overwhelmed with food (especially because my husband was only eating the dinners about 4 times a week).
The secret is to plan plan plan so you cant' fail :)
EDIT: They just posted this over at the Whole9 blog today! http://whole9life.com/2013/07/whole30-meal-plans/
For me - weekends are for cooking lovingly with lots of invested time whilst hectic weekdays for speed-cooking, so the meals I make the most are those that take the least of my time. Here's a few of my speedy staples:
Also seconding Well Fed as a cookbook, I've also recently bought Practical Paleo (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1936608758) which has some lovely chicken recipes in that are mostly compliant with Whole30 - not had a good chance to read through it properly yet though.
I am on my third round and drink my coffee black now...but, prior to W30, I poured a ton of vanilla CoffeeMate in there. While just typing that still makes me salivate, I am fine with black coffee now. It definitely got easier after a few days. You might also consider ordering nutpods. They're a great W30 approved creamer.
Honestly, Whole 30 sort of saved money for me because I'm not going to bars and spending money on alcohol anymore. I suppose if you're not seeing any cost savings in this area it means you didn't drink much before, but you should also be saving some money in terms of going out to restaurants/buying baked goods and quick convenience foods.
As far as groceries go: green cabbage and collards are extremely cheap and filling. If you can figure out some ways to prepare them to your liking they'll help with the budget. Canned tuna is good for inexpensive meat. Sweet potatoes are pretty affordable and are very filling.
You can make this work. I think your hormones are probably getting to you a little bit. The PMS is worse this time around because your glucose levels are lower. Here's a good book that explains why this happens during our cycles. Go for a walk. Get some fresh air. Figure out what's going to alleviate some of the stress for you.
It's going to be OK. This is far from the worst thing that's ever happened to you. Struggle builds character. I think down the road you'll look back at this post, this moment, this feeling of frustration, and realize you came out better for it.
Thank you for this!!! Honestly, the thing I struggle with the most is no sugar or milk in my coffee. I LOVE my coffees and that little bit of sweetness is something I consistently look forward to. I'll definitely try this! (that said, is the oil necessary? Does it still taste good without it?)
Also, which Peptides powder do you use? This is the one I found, but I also see this creamer one.
This book was a lifesaver when I had to do an elimination diet/ Whole30 a while ago. There’s a whole section on recipes and meal plans and foods to focus on for people going through chemo. This is the best $30 I’ve ever spent.
Practical Paleo, 2nd Edition (Updated and Expanded): A Customized Approach to Health and a Whole-Foods Lifestyle https://www.amazon.com/dp/1628600004/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WTvKAbHBEQGFE
wow, I remember when you first posted about W30 not helping with the pain and it's incredible that you finally got a diagnosis!
If you're still needing inspiration for meals check out this book for low FODMAP: https://www.amazon.com/Low-FODMAP-6-Week-Cookbook-Step-Step/dp/1592337899/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521310315&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=suzanne+perazzini
The author has a really popular website helping people with IBS change their diets.
Try Nutpods in any flavor they have! Whole30 approved & makes coffee taste as amazing as it can w/o sugar. nutpods Variety 3-Pack, Unsweetened Dairy-Free Creamer, Whole30, Paleo, Keto, Non-GMO & Vegan, for Coffee, Tea & Cooking, made from almond and coconut
Or buy a $20 mandolin. Sorry for the poorly formatted link, I’m on mobile! This is the one I have and it’s the brand a lot of professional kitchens use. No bells and whistles, but it works like a charm.
Vegetable Slicer Green (Old Version) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000VZ57C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UuzJAbVWC1K6X
The only one i have found is pure egg white powder. It’s the only one I found without milk products, sugar, artificial sweeteners, added color or flavor, grains, or legumes. It takes some creativity to get it drinkable, but it’ll work. I decided i was better off just eating baked chicken breast. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013OXDBU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520430714&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=now+sports+egg+white+protein&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=515SK0AudqL&amp;ref=plSrch
Edit: found another one, unflavored bone broth protein
https://www.amazon.com/Bone-Broth-Protein-Powder-Grass/dp/B06XKCYTBV
Edit #2: for muscle recovery, do some research in to creatine and glutamine. Can get both as pure powders and mix with water. Helped me immensely with muscle recovery and cramps.
Of course... there are only so many times you can brush your teeth a day!
I had to ditch my Orbitz habit, and I'm not chewing mint leaves. The only thing I found on the Whole30 blog post about this that works like gum is Wow Drops. My team (we are all doing Whole30) are using the same bottle... once you get used to it, it totally works just like peppermint gum.
You don't even need an instant pot... Any stock pot works great.
Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker WIFI, Immersion Circulator (2nd Gen), 900 Watts, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HHWSV1S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_I30gAbWQQVXDM
We've cooked a lot of the Nom Nom Paleo recipes and have loved every single one of them, so I'd highly suggest her book.
The Frugal Paleo Cookbook
I found it at my local library and wrote down the recipes I liked.
Done.
I would suggest also posting in /r/glutenfree /r/hypothyridism where there are a lot of people with Hashimotos and other autoimmune diseases which may make them more aware of food sensitivities. You may also want to pick up this book Why Isn't my Brain Working which explore a lot of immune and dietary issues that can inflame and degenerate brain function.
edit: formatting
If diet and Yoga/PT didn’t help, it could be mental.
Check out the reviews for this book: Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection https://www.amazon.com/dp/153871261X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FLFWCb98W7H6R
It’s pretty interesting. I cured my chronic back pain with a mix of Pilates and mind work.

This is the one I have! I've had it for years and use it often and it still works!

https://www.buzzfeed.com/christinebyrne/one-minute-mayo?utm_term=.fsvJxG5ZA&sub=3816117_6078396
This is the exact food processor and recipe my wife and I use. We must use the food processor at least every 2 days if not more - it's amazing. I think the real key to mayo making is to make sure the oil is as cold as possible and to pour it in as slowly as possible. It was tough to find a compliant Dijon but I think we got ours at Target. Obviously you can replace the Canola with Olive Oil in the above recipe.
The basic Cuisinart is more than enough; however, this $185 model seems to be priced down to an insane $65 and is Prime-eligible.... so... uh... buy this:

Now brand has some.
Vitamin Shoppe has some, but with extra ingredients. :\
There's also this guy, but his has lecithin (from non-GMO sunflower seeds). I have no idea if that's allowed - I know soy lecithin isn't....
I think I would stick with the Now brand.
