So, it just dawned on me that it is already day 22 and there is only 8 days left of this Whole 30 round for Kaci and me. My take is that this has actually been pretty simple. Although, I think there are a few things I can improve upon....more veggies and less fruit (I'm addicted to raspberries, strawberries, and cherries I think), and fewer nuts (probably am "crackin out" on nuts more than I should - they are too darn convenient). Aside from those things, I haven't had any cravings for processed foods or desserts/sugary stuff, dairy, or even grains or legumes. It seems pretty crazy, but I don't really miss any of it. We went to a wedding this weekend, and I was able to bypass the wedding cake, wine, Summer Brew (which sounded great), and my favorite mixed drink - Malibu Rum and diet Coke. I was content with my water and a plate of roast beef, veggies and fruit, and was still able to socialize with everyone else just fine. :-)
So, how are the rest of you ladies doing following the Whole 30? Any particular issues?
I am on day 9. I feel really, really good being off the grains. My body loves it! I was having terrible, awful, smelly gas (sorry if that is TMI), it is GONE! My husband is sooo happy! I still want gum and a diet soda. I don't think the cravings are bad. It just feels like a bad habit that I have to remind myself I don't do anymore. My blood sugar has stableized and I really have a lot more energy. I wasn't on sugar before I started this so that wasn't a problem. Getting rid of the artificial stuff hasn't been too hard either. I think this will definately be a lifestyle change for me. Can't think of a reason to let grains back in.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Renee. I'm glad to hear it. I definitely think that much of this will be a lifestyle change for me as well. Not sure i'll give up grains entirely, but likely will just have them once in a while rather than daily, same with dairy.
