    I'm in for both! I belong to another group where I'm required to walk 8K each and every day and I started my version of Whole30 yesterday. I am being almost compliant, just keeping dairy in my diet as I know it doesn't bother me. A few months ago I completely gave up dairy as I thought it was giving me some of my sinus allergy issues. Didn't make a difference, didn't feel any different at all. So I know I can scratch that one off the list. I bet it's sugar or artificial sweeteners. And it's amazing to realize that some form of sweetener seems to be in everything. ANNOYING! I am looking forward to this journey and making some new friends!! :)

    I am lucky to get in 2k a day... but I aim for that. Definitely in on the Whole30. Hopefully it will help the joint pain enough that I'll be able to walk farther by the end of the month.

    Sugar inflames my joints, so, yeah... a likely culprit.

    I use cronometer now. I just discovered it about six months ago. A lot of detail, but I like that. Here is a link for a discussion about it:

    Have you ever tried turmeric for joint pain? It helps with inflammation. I take the GAIA brand daily, it's also good for the heart :)

    Good luck, I hope this program really helps you!

    Today is day 3 for me and I've already noticed sugar doesn't have the same hold on me. I can think of sugary stuff and it doesn't make me crave them like it has in the past. I can't wait to see how I feel after 30 days of no sugar and no artificial sugar products!

    My fridge is not big enough for Whole 30. I have to go shopping again!

    My fridge is wonky. Need to schedule a repairman at some point. Often it freezes my vegetables.

    I love make-ahead ideas, even though I don't make any make-ahead Mason jar salads right now, because of that freezing problem. I've been thinking about chia pudding, but didn't think it fit Whole30 restrictions. I have to admit, I haven't investigated the question.

    Does it freeze things on the bottom shelf?
  • homesweeths
    homesweeths Posts: 792 Member
    No rhyme or reason. Yes, definitely on the bottom shelf, with the coldest temps toward the back. But stuff can freeze at the top or in the middle, too. I have the temp turned down as far as it goes (I mean, set at "1" which is the warmest fridge setting).

    Came down sick yesterday with sinus-throat crud. No appetite. Spent a lot of time sleeping and stuck to really simple food.

    What are your Paleo go-to comfort foods?

    Green beans, Kale, Collards, or Chard in bone broth. I sometimes add riced Cauliflower for a tasty contrast.

    Put cauliflower rice in the chicken soup tonight. Really nice touch!
