Is anybody interested? Has anybody done this before? I'm doing my 4th round starting March 1, and I'd love to have people to talk to about it!

    Hey Braxmed, I just started learning more about this, and I think Im in! Will dedicate a couple of days to learn more about this but it looks like just what I could use right now :) What was the most challenging part of it for you the last times?

    An extreme elimination diet for people with digestive/allergy issues. Not really designed for weight loss, but because it's so very restrictive...people lose weight.

    Hi Jannick! For me, it was the sugar. It's everywhere. I love bacon and pasta sauce, and it took me a minute to find things that were compliant. Most tuna has soy, which is not compliant as well! Just takes a bit of getting used to. I've always made it the full 30 days and some times, I've gone a little longer!

    Hi! Hm, sounds like Im going to have to prepare really well for this if I go for it. :) Sugar is my drug, so staying away from that totally is whats appealing with this - I need to kick that addiction!!! Any bodily symptoms like headache or stomach-issues doing this the first time? Cool that you have finished it every time!

    Hi this is intriguing. I eat healthy overall, a lot of fruits and vegetables and rarely eat meat, but then go nuts and eat chocolate and get fries and a cheeseburger.

    I'm in. I was thinking of eliminating red meat, poultry and dairy products for Lent; so this challenge came at the right time. I'll just eliminate the rest as well. I'm starting March 1st. I hope that's alright. I think I'll be able to learn a lot about my body and its reactions to certain foods.

    I have tried this, it's very restrictive. I made it 11 days my farthest. But those 11 days I felt my best ever! The book "It Starts with Food" is VERY informative of why the restrictions. The idea is to restrict and then add things back in one at a time to find out what is and is not a problem for ya. This has become a "Fad Diet", which I don't like, but hey whatever it takes to get people in and focused on getting healthy. It's purpose is not for weight loss at all. That's just sort of a side effect.

    I do believe in this program, and with my own food issues you'd think I could stick with it, but it's been very difficult. I am tempted to try again, I am always considering it.

    So... you guys who are doing this, are you all using the whole30-website and subscribing to the Real Plan thingy there or are you just figuring it all out on your own? This is very tempting, but I dont want to decide until Im 100% sure Ill go through with the whole thing.

    Are you going to follow up here in this thread or in a FB-group? Or how?

    Hey, just read about this and I would love to join. Am doing something similar already, except for the milk and ghee part. A week ago, I decided to go on a NO CARB no Sugar diet / alcohol . I just eat protein, vegetables . It's been hard but am sticking with it. I don't mind doing this challenge with you cos I think my worst week is over.

    I've done 1 round of while 30 it was great but went back to eating too much sugars (my drug of choice). I am currently doing a whole 30 with a twist of Paleo due to my allergies. I am already 9 days in and am very interested.
