I'm definately in. I'd already started to clean up things. It's the dairy/legumes I'll need to ditch, think I'll be okay on both fronts.

I hadn't realised that it was Sunday!! Coming up soon. I'll need to do a big shop/cooking session so I'm ready for it. Last time I tried it, it was a meal in work that I tripped on - it had peanuts. To be fair to me it was about 2 months before my wedding, I'd enough going on. But I'm ready for it now and have been making small changes in preparation.

Last time I tried it, I found not weighing myself a problem, but I think I'll be okay with it this time.

What is the whole 30? I would love to join in as well.

Hey everyone! I'm on day 6 and am feeling great. I'm nervous that I'll wake up tomorrow and be ravenous and want to eat everything imaginable - is this phase coming? I was eating pretty terribly before I started Whole30 and haven't had a hard time adjusting thus far, thankfully! How's everyone else feeling who has already started? And if you're starting 9/1, good luck!!

here is a great article on what to expect day to day of your whole 30

YES! I'm in! I was just about to post this

I started yesterday! Dinner was slow cooked pork shoulder with lots and lots of veggies - turnip, carrots, parsnip, onion, leeks, etc..

Brekfast 1 organic slice of bacon/1 egg/1 courgett/2 carrots - all fried up together and was yummy.

I've left overs from dinner for lunch today.

Day - feels like this will be easy, and yes I know with preparation it is. It's the day that you forget (don't have time) to make lunch that is all gets difficult.

Best of luck everyone

Hey everyone!! I actually started in August and I am on Day 18 right now. It really hasn't been that tough and I think it is one of the best decisions. I'm going to do another 30 when this is over but I think I'm going to get the book, It starts with food. Good luck everyone!!

Is the Whole30 the best way to start Paleo?

I think I've got a bit obsessed about this whole 30 gig. I forgot my lunch today and am stressing about what I can eat in work.

options are limited, could have soup, but I don't know what sort of oil they've used. Generally no flour as they keep it suitable for celiacs. Could have salad, but again, these may have dressings and I can't attest to oils used.

Not looking for advise, only I can go pick up the best choice. Just frustrated at myself for not getting my butt out of bed early enough to bring my normal packed lunch in! This is where I fell the last time I tried to do a whole 30, I had satay chicken. It's on the menu today, but I'm wise to it. I know it's peanuts (not that I didn't the last time, I just didn't think peanuts, I thought nuts, sure they're fine)

Hope everyone else is getting on well. I'm great with energy, cravings, etc... only sometimes I eat too many nuts. My digestion is a little off too, but not so I'd worry about it. Just a bit odd, especially given I was already essentially primal.

My first (and only, so far) Whole30 was amazing in that it stabilized my blood sugar for the first time in years. Before paleo, I had to have protein every couple of hours or got shaky and woozy. After a week or so of the Whole30, I could go 12 hours or more with no problems. I was never hungry. I started logging calories only to make sure I got enough. If I just listened to my body I'd be contented with 600-800 calories a day and from everything I've read, that's not enough.

When my carbs approach 100g in a day I start feeling hungry and my blood sugar levels aren't as stable.

HTH.
