TAKING BACK CONTROL... my new lifestyle

Woody_11

Hi everyone!

I’m making some big lifestyle changes and taking back control over how I live. I live a really busy life so it’s important that I make these changes NOW. I’m doing the Whole 30 to break my carb OBSESSION and learn how to consistently eat cleanly, as well as up my water intake. I’d love to get a group who is a constant, positive support. Especially those who can say “get off your *kitten* and do your workout!”

How do you like that whole 30? I’ve done keto for about 5 weeks now and had really great results..but just keep your head up and focus on your end goal!

Whole 30 is an elimination diet to detect food intolerances. There is nothing intrinsically addictive about carbohydrates (not even "carbs" in the sense of delicious, easy to eat, readily available, high calorie foods, that often are just as much fat as carbs), it's just one of the macronutrients that provides energy. Telling ourselves they're bad, unhealthy, fattening, naughty, etc, and then try to compensate for overeating by eating a bland "(clean") diet, which offers very little satisfaction, makes many of us crave "carbs", compulsively.
