Whole 30 **january 2020**

Woooo I LOVE whole30. I've completed my first two this past year (Feb & Sept). While I won't be able to do a complete whole30 this January bc I have sooo much going on, I would love to join in as much as I can and offer support/tips for others. Whole30 is so much more than a diet, it's truly a lifestyle change and I would say my fiance and I eat whole30 probably about 80% of the time since completing the 30 days.

Some tips from my experience:
1. Research the program before starting Whole30 and understand it.
2. Make sure your house is whole30 compliant. Get rid of, donate, or hide anything that isn't within the program. Out of sight, out of mind.
3. Try to have a partner join with you for support and if your household won't join you, let them know what you're doing and make sure to have their full support. You will have temptation.
4. Make a menu for the week!!!! This is hard at the beginning, but so worth it. Not only will you know what you're having each week, but you'll buy exactly what you need and reduce grocery waste.
5. Have "emergency meals" available as a backup plan. Something quick you can whip up like canned tuna with whole30 compliant mayo on a bed of lettuce for when you're on the run.
6. Follow the whole30 accounts on Instagram. @Whole30Recipes features someone new each week and they introduce you to a whole new world of recipes and things you can do on whole30.

The whole30 community does one in January so you'll have an entire online support system.

Good luck and can't wait to follow your journey!!

Sounds cool to me!

I’m currently in the middle of my second round! On day 12! My fiancé joined me for this one and it helps so much. Honestly, it’s super easy after a while and truly does help you feel your best. The goal is not weight loss but I lost 13 pounds my first round! I HIGHLY recommend getting the day by day journal on amazon especially if someone is doing it for the first time. It’s fun to read what the creator says you’re likely going to be feeling that day and you can record your favorite meals, what you’re experiencing, etc. For example, I’m breaking out a lot right now and I noticed that this happened around the same time as my last round because my body is purging all of the toxins. I got a ton of recipes from Pinterest! There’s a lot of cooking involved and it takes a lot of effort but if you meal prep it’s easier. You definitely feel more energized, less dependent on food, and digesting is a lot easier. Even after a big whole 30 meal I feel light and satisfied. After my first whole 30 I went on vacation immediately after and didn’t have the time to do the re-introductory period so I just had everything at once and went right back to how I was eating. This time around I’m going to an extended, modified version to keep the lifestyle. Definitely recommend this to anyone!

Yessss!!! I’ve done this before and it felt so great afterwards... not so much during the first week ha. I am down for it. Getting rid of the holiday celebrations diet will be great

We would definitely consider doing this! I will talk to my FH!

I've done many rounds!!! I'd love to do it with y'all I need to start working out again too

I have been debating doing it as well so i would be interested!!!
