OMG I so remember the food poisioning - I had chicken at a restaurant - the brat diet is what you need - toast or not is up to you. About the restaurant - call the Health Unit. I did although they said unless I was tested by a doctor, they couldn't "prove" food poisioning. A Co-worker I work with also ate the chicken and…

I'm definitely no expert on this subject but I wonder if oil pulling (oil swishing) would help. I have tried it before but don't do it regularly. Here is just a general link about it that I googled. You could probably find a more reputable site, but it explains it. It is supposed to be great for oral health.…

I need to ask all of you who have done the Whole 30 - which supplements are necessary? I'm thinking I would need some calcium as I'm eliminating dairy but what other supplements do you recommend.

Starting today!!! I've been procrastinating but I know I have to do it. There always seems to be an occasion (birthday, vacation, etc.) that I postpone my Whole 30 for. But no more! Today is day one! Did the black coffee already and it was ok. Usually have cream or milk. Who wants to make it a go today???

I love walking when it is cooler outside and the leaves are crunching under your feet. Plan on a lot of walking and outdoor time.

Here is the link to the article which convinced me it's ok to have kefir. http://chriskresser.com/kefir-the-not-quite-paleo-superfood.

Thanks for your suggestions. I think I will eliminate them and add 1 in at a time every few days. I really hate to give them up completely, but I may have to eat more food with them, maybe fruit or something similar. Thanks!

Same here - lost it after the first few posts. Very closed mind.

Your likely right but I don't have any dairy issues and am probably more primal - though I'm trying to keep my dairy in check. So I feel the benefits outweighs any diary issues. I plan on doing a whole 30 soon, so I will eliminate all dairy then. Here is an article I read if you would like…

Definitely cheaper and make your grocery shopping faster too - spend a few more minutes in the veggie section, but don't go down all those other aisles unless I know there is something specific I need. No packaged food anymore!!

Thanks all of you for your comments. I guess I shouldn't be watching the scale so much and just concentrate on clean eating. I will be incororating for muscle building /strength training now. I've just been procrastinating. I usually get up before work 5:00 a.m. to do that, so I had better just do it. I find after work,…

I have 2 daughters now 22 and 18 and when I need to change something involving them I always found it was easier if I included them. Your daughter will likely be open to the change (as she may notice the weight gain even though you haven't mentioned it). I would start with her - take her grocery shopping - point out the…

I'm not a huge looser (yet) but am working on it too - I'd like to loose about 40 lbs. I good piece of advice I've heard is to make small goals along the way - that way you feel great and want to move on to the next goal. I am trying a 5 lb goal at a time. Going to give a big woo hoo after each 5 lbs.

Yup try more protien - should have some at every meal. I'm actually a napper after dinner also, however I SIT (slouch) on the sofa and just lean my head back a bit. About 20 - 30 min. If I lay down I'd be sleeping much longer. This position lets me just get a quick nap.

Me too!
