Who's up for a challenge?

I mentioned in my previous post that I attended a nutrition seminar last week. It was put on by Melissa Urban and Dallas Hartwig of Whole9 who provide individual coaching on nutrition as well as travel all over conducting nutrition workshops. Their main philosophy is that whatever we put in our mouth will either help us be more healthy or will cause us to be less healthy.

They have designed a program called Whole 30, which basically works like an elimination diet where you take all the "garbage foods" and "other foods" that may be causing you to feel like garbage out of your diet for 30 days.......No Cheating Allowed!!!! At the end of the 30 days, you can begin to add some of the foods back in slowly (i.e. dairy, grains, legumes, etc.) and see how these foods affect you. Read the details and explanation of their program at Whole30.

Kaci Caldwell and I are going to be starting this on Monday, so that we have some personal support through the process. If anyone else may be interested in starting this, please let me know so we can all support each other during the process.......it won't be easy!

FYI - I do have some information they provided at the seminar such as shopping lists, websites, and recipes that I can share.
