Hi. I am currently "doing" my first Whole30 (day 5) but I have been keto Primal for a year. There is a transitional phase that varies by person. You will get through it and you will feel awesome soon.... as long as you stick with it! It's a lifestyle that needs 100% commitment; at least in the beginning.

I am mostly having a fairly easy time with my Whole30 because the only big change was giving up the dairy. However, the dairy is not going down without a fight. Day 3 really sucked.

Try to get through the 30 days and see how you feel. Keep in mind though, depending on health issues etc, some people take longer to get their health issues resolved. Mine will take 2 years at least, but already my health improvements are AMAZING. Weight loss? That's nice, but not my primary focus. I'm Paleo for life; no deadline.

hi tory! for me, it was a gradual transition. i played with what worked for me, in what amounts, until i started to find a routine that worked for me. especially if you are running and don't want to have a week of just dead-ness, i would recommend keeping your paleo carbs up. i know some people do great on low carb, so just see how you are. i get cranky, can't sleep, and am hungry all the tinme if i dont have them, and have NO energy to workout, so just see how you feel and be gentle with yourself. you don't have to "rip the bandaid off" all in one fell swoop if you don't want/need to. you can do it!
