Second Whole30 is in the books and it was great! It was much easier this time around because it's become more of a lifestyle now. I also know it works so I have faith in the program. My results were: 8 pounds lost which is a net loss of 14 pounds since October. I ... read more >
This is the last FULL week of My second Whole30 and I ended up miscalculating the days so I am not done on Saturday like I thought. I will be done on Feb 7 which is a Wednesday. I am kind of bummed that I won't be able to do Super Bowl Sunday like I ... read more >
This past weekend I went to a dinner and stayed away from obvious non compliant foods such as: Chocolate cake, Lumpia (which I love), Tamales, etc. However I did find out a frittata dish did have some hard Italian cheese in it later on down the line.

I can't believe this is my last week on the Whole30. Honestly when I started this experiment I thought it was going to be really tough. I even thought that it may be too restrictive and I would need to stop because I did not want to go back to the disordered eating habits I ... read more >
Week 2 is in the Books for the Whole30 and I'm still in the game. The first thing you think about with a program such as this is everything you can't have. It seems uber restrictive since there is no: Legumes Dairy Grains Seed Oils Artificial Sugars/Sweeteners It seems very restrictive and rigid. I have ... read more >
