Day 1

Hello! I started whole30 today. I am a little anxious about managing the 30 days, but I am committed. I am doing this to weed out some food sensitivities.

I would love your feedback on staples that work. What you do if you eat out, what you keep stocked at home, what you feed your family. :-) it has been a while since i did something I felt like I needed guidance on. I know the rules, but some input would be great!

Hi and welcome!

Those are all good questions. I am not a lot of help with the eating out (I still haven't figured that part out, other than sashimi at a Japanese restaurant!). I suppose a steak and veggies always works too, if you are at that kind of restaurant. Just make sure there is no soya sauce and soy in the sauces they use...

As for things I always have on hand: eggs (I buy 24 at a time, because they work so well in terms of pulling together a quick meal, and I love them!), sweet potatoes/potatoes (unless you know it works for your body, I would not recommend doing a super low carb version of the program), and some meat in the freezer (compliant burger patties, sausages, etc.).

Also, my slow cooker has been a lifesaver in terms of saving time and making big batches of stuff. I don't have kids, but I would imagine this would be great if you are feeding a lot of people each day. There are TONS of Whole30 slow cooker recipes online.

Hope that helps!
