    I've done a whole15 before lol. Then got sidetracked by camping food (smores, hot dogs, chips). Argh!

    I plan to do round 2 in May, after the May long weekend. I start my CSA veggie delivery around then and have no big social functions planned for June so the timing works for me!

    I'm really interested in trying a Whole30 but my mom is visiting in May from Canada and I've promised to take her out for cream tea & sticky toffee pudding. Maybe in June I'll give it a go.

    How about I start a group for May 1, I can keep it open through June? We can post recipes, meal ideas, and updates. The people that start in June will have a good start of ideas and recipes. You guys can add anyone interested.

    I was actually thinking of starting a Whole30 in May because right now I'm still not completely Paleo though I am working on it (potatoes are surprisingly hard for me to get rid of).

    Potatoes are allowed on Whole30 both sweet and white.

    On Whole30, white potatoes are now "approved"? Wow, I can see that leading to poor results for many people.

    I think it was the Hartwigs that brought white potatoes out of the closet last year. Always with the word of caution "if you are at a healthy weight".

    And also with the warning that you can't make french fries with them, or use butter in your mashed potatoes (ghee is ok). I personally find them terribly bland after discovering sweet potatoes and then further discovering all the wonderful veggies that awaited (roasted broccoli is the bomb!). Hubby doesn't miss them either, whole30 or not. And he is very much a meat and "potatoes" (starch) kind of guy.

    I think the advice that potatoes are ok on Whole30 will be a disservice for most people in need of doing a Whole30. Most definitely that is personal choice though. What's the difference if they are fries fried in tallow? Basically people who have issues with fries, like myself, would be wise to avoid potatoes entirely.
