Aug Whole30 peeps

I'm on day 21, so 9 days left...

I don't know if I want to make it to the end anymore. When I gave up gluten (a long time ago), everyday for about 6 weeks, I felt better than the day before. It was clear that I needed to remove it from my diet.

I wondered if I would have a similar experience when eliminating dairy, but I haven't noticed anything. I guess primal is a good way of eating for me!

I am very glad I did this though... I always wondered about diary, so now I know. And I needed to get a handle on my sweet intake! I have also lost 5 lbs so far, so that is a really nice bonus! I think this really shows how bad my sugar consumption was getting...

I will probably keep going for a few more days, but I don't think I will last much beyond that (but you never know!) And when I do go off the Whole30, I won't go crazy... just add a little dairy here and there (I really miss ranch dressing on my salad and sour cream on my taco salads!) But I think from now on, I will leave cheese off my burgers most of the time and skip the cheese in my eggs too.

I felt that exact same way around day 21. I thought maybe I would regret it if I didn't keep going though so I'm gonna hold out. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have dairy issues though once I add it back in. Not once have I had a stomach ache this month. :sad face:

Anyone else still at it? Two more full days for me!
