This Friday, 6/12, I'll be starting the Whole30 Elimination diet. I've done this twice before, with life changing results! Not only did I learn a lot about nutrition and my body in particular, it also helped me get several health issues under control. I lost 30 pounds the first time, got off both my blood pressure and ( Read more... )

Feel free to join me! I think I had that soup on an earlier plan and never got around to making it, so I really want to try it out this time.

Congrats on your recovery! I didn't really think I had any food-related issues, but I found after my first one that I totally do. I eat a lot of grains and dairy, and both have a tendency to make me bloat and have stomach pains. Hopefully keeping better logs will help me pinpoint everything (amounts included).

I'm on Day 23 of my first whole30! Looking forward to seeing some of your recipes!

Congrats! How are you enjoying it so far? You're on the home stretch now. I've done the program twice successfully, and then twice failed. Once I just got lazy on the cooking and gave up during week one, and then once I got really, really sick. I couldn't cook OR keep anything down for nearly two weeks, so I just gave up at that point, since I think the meal template is a huge part of it.

I really like it! It's the only "diet" that I've actually stuck with. Well... um... I didn't read the book like my hubby did, so I wasn't even aware there *was* a meal template until the 2nd week. I chose to continue with the rules through Day 30 & then start another, actually compliant whole30 soon. I think the meal template is important as well.

I've never read the book, tbph, but I really love how they put so much of their info on the website. I love that you don't have to buy the book to follow it & succeed.

The second time I did it, I really got a bit lazy on the template. I'd skip breakfast if I didn't have time in the morning, or I'd scrounge whatever I had already made and didn't worry about proper proportions. I think that's why my #2 attempt was not as successful. The meal template really gets your body (mine, anyway) rebooted and fuelled properly. I can't wait to start #3, but I definitely have to have foods pre-made and ready, or I tend to default to poor habits when I don't feel like cooking.
