September Whole30

I first did Whole30 at the recommendation of my naturopathic doctor. I did it for 6 months straight, lost 42 pounds, am no longer pre-diabetic, and my total cholesterol went from 292 to 208. This is the only eating plan that has ever worked for me as far as weight loss and improving health issues. With the reintroduction of foods, I discovered that dairy and grains (especially breads) are bad for me, which came as a big surprise. So yeah, that means no pizza (my favorite food on the planet! lol) unless I'm willing to face the consequence of being ill the following week (digestive issues, joint pain, headaches).

I plan on doing another strict round in October, but honestly, probably 80% of my meals are Whole30 when I'm not officially doing a round.

I am starting Whole30 on October 16th... I have been eating healthy for 9 months now lost 70+lbs but having the hardest time trying to get rid of the last 20 or so. A friend of mine recommended this program, not as a way to lose weight, but as a way to reset my focus. I have down loaded a bazillion recipes but them in a binder listed breakfast lunch dinner snacks LOL I am debating getting the book as I have also found a lot of info on the internet about the program. Those that have been doing it, do you recommend reading the book? Would love to add some friends for support on this program. Feel free to add me! Thanks! Kelly
