Whole 30 - November Challenge (Closed Group)

busywaterbending

just picked up my raw dairy and took some measurements. Man, I knew I was cut in my upper body (lost .65 inch of fat off my R bicep, and lost .5 inch off my R thigh) and my thighs are slimming down! Yeah me. I'm going for lean thighs, and eliminating the excess fat off my thighs is the last goal I have. I feel healthy and love how no cardio and quick workouts feel.

I am signing up for the Gingerbread 5K in Belleville, IL on December 3rd. I am excited to do this.

Ok so I feel like a stalker-from-afar because I monitored the October group daily after finishing reading both the Primal Blueprint and the Paleo Solution. I have been almost 100% compliant, but have had a couple snags along the way in the past month, such as a funeral, Halloween, and a couple other times when I was "testing" myself to remember how much better I feel following Primal/Paleo. All that aside, I have chosen to put in all of my effort this month for a few reasons:

1. I want to be able to feel all of the benefits this lifestyle offers.
2. I don't want to feel like I'm wasting my time by being fully compliant just 1, 2, or 3 weeks at a time, because even the slightest cheat sets me way back in my efforts.
3. I want to have a good handle on this going into the holiday season, not making a goal to start "fresh" after the holidays.
4. It's my birthday month!

The list really goes on and on. I feel like I know what to eat and how to eat, but i have gained a few pounds, I assume from my sporadic derailing. I'm leaving all of that behind and going in full force!

I recently bought part of a crop share, and will get organic veggies delivered weekly! I'm also going to a farm this weekend to get some raw dairy and grass-fed meat.

I track my results by how my clothes feel, because that makes me feel better than seeing a number on a scale. I hope that's ok. I would love to be a part of this and help support others as we continue this journey together!

Are you ready to make the committment?

Are you ready to heal your body? Can you commit for 30 days?

I want to re-iterate a couple of points. As I mentioned, no one here is expected to be perfect as we are allowing raw dairy (if you can find it in your area) or at the very least purchase organic dairy.

However, other than the exception of allowing dairy, no cheating. This is about committing yourself to begin the healing process.

As mentioned on the Whole 30 website:

The only way this will work is if you give it the full thirty days, no cheats, slips or “special occasions.” This isn’t Whole9 playing the tough guy. This is a FACT, born of education and experience. You need such a small amount of any of these inflammatory foods to break the healing cycle – one bite of pizza, one splash of milk in your coffee, one lick of the spoon mixing the batter within the 30 day period and you’ve broken the “reset” button. You must commit to the full program, exactly as written. Anything less and we make no claims as to your results, or the chances of your success. Anything less and you are selling yourself – and your potential results – short.

Can you commit ?

I am sorry, I am not trying to be a hard *kitten* or anything, but this challenge is not to be taken half heartedly. We are taking charge of our health and well being.

Yes, that is what I'm here to do. I truly believe in this lifestyle and want to reap all of the benefits. I know that any seemingly minor setback has huge repercussions. I currently have my own blog following my journey, but I would prefer to share my experiences with the MFP community. It's ok to assume my weak willpower, as people oftentimes get excited about something and then fall off the bandwagon. But I don't want to go back to old habits, crappy sleep, mood swings, knee pain, etc. I want to live this way for the rest of my life and not poison my body with processed grains. This is not something I'm like "oh cool let me just do this for one month and then I can go back to eating like everyone else in the world." But my sincerity is for you to judge.

I feel pretty good about my diet, it's pretty clean and where I want it to be for now, my focus now needs to be on the other aspects of healthy living. I love being part of this thread to encourage and share.

My goals:

1. continue to stay off the scale, it is not my friend nor is my worth determined by the number it reflects
2. work on 8hrs sleep per night
3. find the joy in every day and be in the present, not the future or the past
4. maintain at least 3 exercise sessions per week

Last month I finished strong with #4, #1- I stayed off the scale but I'm still working on trusting what I see and feel, the others I'm still working on.

@wxkris - I wasn't speaking to anyone here that has posted. I know that we are all in.

I saw a couple of comments where someone said that removing dairy was not sustainable to them along with everything else you take out.............

As long as someone focuses on what is removed and not what is gained - the reality of staying committed is slim.

I see this is a 'closed' group. What's the protocol here? Do I have to request to join in? Starting Whole30 for the umpteenth time, and could use some support. It's not the food I have issues with (I've been basically Palaeo for over 5 years) it's the quantities - I feel I'm eating too much in one go, and I'm struggling to eat 3 times a day. It seems to be easier to follow the plan in the US than over here in the UK. The one thing I know I MUST cut out is the goats' yoghurt (even though I do only have 100g per day); it's NOT on-plan.

The protein sources I have are eggs, steak, sardines in EVOO
Fat sources: - olives, EVCO, guacamole (store bought, no oil, but it does contain some double cream. I actually have an aversion to handling avocados - and I can't stand them in any other form - I like to keep it simple (think that's because I'm autistic, I actually don't have the patience to cook anything very much - and you would not believe the number of pans I've ruined because I forgot I had something cooking until the smoke alarm went off!)) EVOO
Carbs: - rocket, spinach and watercress (I eat as much as I can, but it's really expensive and I'm on welfare. When Dad's grown it, then I can have it from the garden, but not at this time of year). Fruit, when I do indulge, is berries.

I also have a ready supply of proper cider vinegar (organic, unpasteurised, and with the mother). I tend to pour this over my food.

At the moment, I'm struggling to eat more than once or twice a day. I began intermittent fasting about 3 years ago, and it's become habitual now. I've only eaten once today, 20 hours ago, and that was 118g of fat, 84g of protein, and 5g carbs. I do not have the urge to eat anything non-Palaeo (apart from yoghurt and that only appears to be around TOTM).

I'm not doing it for weight/inch loss, I'm doing it to combat gallstone symptoms (though some of the symptoms I have I don't think have anything to do with gallstones, whatever my consultant says to the contrary. I get EXTREMELY bloated, particularly my belly, bum, chest and boobs (I've not been able to wear a bra since February) and I appear to now have a size 2 waist, but size 6 hips! Before all this I was 30-24-33 - a perfect size 2 - the smallest I've EVER been and this is really beginning to take its toll on the state of my mental health, too, to see my once-fit and toned body becoming a shapeless bloated blob. I lost 16 stone in 3 years (probably the reason I've got gallstones now). When my chest isn't so swollen, I can fit into some of my tighter dresses, but then I can't do the buttons up round my bum! My waist is still 24" and I have found some leggings with enough 'give' in them to accommodate my swollen belly and bum; I've had to star buying 'tall' ones to compensate for the bloat. This bloating came right out of the blue, and I'm not going to think for one nanosecond I've started gaining again because I've not touched grains in more than 5 years (nor any other form of starchy carbs, either)

I just want to start deflating so I can wear my proper clothes again!

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I really do think I need telling how much to eat per meal; the guidelines in the Whole30 guide are far too vague for me (again this is an autistic thing, I'm sure).

Sorry this is so long, but I would be grateful for any support...

Rosa,

do you exercise? Exercise is extremely important to maintain or succeed at body fat loss.

your exercise regimine may look something like:
day1 upper body strength training
day 2 cardio / aerobic hill climbing moderate pace
day 3 lower body strength training
day 4 cardio / aerobic walking moderate pace
day 5 flexibility training+ quick upper body strength
day 6 sprints and plyometrics + quick lower body strength
day 7 cardio / aerobic hill climbing moderate pace

without exercise, your body will not burn your fuel. Eating without burning = gaining weight. Since you are gaining weight on your hips this suggests that you are not walking or climbing at all. Also, have you had any bloodwork done lately? Gall stones is inticative of not having enzymes in your body to digest fat. That's a huge problem if you consume allot of meats, dairy, seafood.

ResilientWoman

I'm in. Will get my results from October Whole 30 Challenge in a day or two, then I'll post my November start stats here. Hugs, everyone.

PrimalMorningMoon

Are you ready to make the committment?

Are you ready to heal your body? Can you commit for 30 days?

I want to re-iterate a couple of points. As I mentioned, no one here is expected to be perfect as we are allowing raw dairy (if you can find it in your area) or at the very least purchase organic dairy.

However, other than the exception of allowing dairy, no cheating. This is about committing yourself to begin the healing process.

As mentioned on the Whole 30 website:

The only way this will work is if you give it the full thirty days, no cheats, slips or “special occasions.” This isn’t Whole9 playing the tough guy. This is a FACT, born of education and experience. You need such a small amount of any of these inflammatory foods to break the healing cycle – one bite of pizza, one splash of milk in your coffee, one lick of the spoon mixing the batter within the 30 day period and you’ve broken the “reset” button. You must commit to the full program, exactly as written. Anything less and we make no claims as to your results, or the chances of your success. Anything less and you are selling yourself – and your potential results – short.

I'm entirely commited to the Primal WOE & lifestyle. I want to be in, but at the same time, I am not hardcore enough to commit to what you have laid out here. Guess I'm out after all. Thanks!

Ok I need to write out my goals so I stay focused and commit to them.
Stay away from the scale. Not hard to do when I am cramming my face with a lot of carbs but harder when I am eating "clean"
I did resist the temptation today though so that is all I have to worry about is today.
Try new foods and new ways of preparing them.
Coconut milk in my coffee is really awesome. Just found that out. Thanks guys I would never have tried it if I had not read it here.
commit to exercise 3 times a week. This sounds good in my head but pushing myself to do it is hard. No excuses accepted though so I WILL DO IT. Have a great day all

Are you ready to make the committment?

Are you ready to heal your body? Can you commit for 30 days?

I want to re-iterate a couple of points. As I mentioned, no one here is expected to be perfect as we are allowing raw dairy (if you can find it in your area) or at the very least purchase organic dairy.

However, other than the exception of allowing dairy, no cheating. This is about committing yourself to begin the healing process.

As mentioned on the Whole 30 website:

The only way this will work is if you give it the full thirty days, no cheats, slips or “special occasions.” This isn’t Whole9 playing the tough guy. This is a FACT, born of education and experience. You need such a small amount of any of these inflammatory foods to break the healing cycle – one bite of pizza, one splash of milk in your coffee, one lick of the spoon mixing the batter within the 30 day period and you’ve broken the “reset” button. You must commit to the full program, exactly as written. Anything less and we make no claims as to your results, or the chances of your success. Anything less and you are selling yourself – and your potential results – short.

Can you commit ?

I am sorry, I am not trying to be a hard *kitten* or anything, but this challenge is not to be taken half heartedly. We are taking charge of our health and well being.
