![]() ![]() Headaches that I had always struggled with were non-existent. I popped awake at 5:30 every morning with no alarm clock and had a ton of energy all day. Related: 5 Reasons Why We Chose to Do the Whole30 One month later I had lost 25 pounds and felt absolutely amazing. And I got ready to cook, clean, and plan more than I ever had in my life. I cruised through the Whole 9 Life website. You have to understand at this point I was literally having a dessert after lunch and dinner EVERY DAY! No wonder my husband was worried! I had never been able to stick with any eating program over a couple weeks – how could I go 30 days with no cheating what so ever? Y’all, I’m from Alabama! I need my sweet tea. Having said that I went into Whole 30 with a very negative attitude. So I looked at the program and could only say ‘well, I’ll try’ to which he replied ‘it’s like Yoda says: there is no try, only do or do not.’ The fact was that I was killing myself with what I was eating! If I had a treatable disease he’d be crazy for not encouraging me to treat it, right? Obesity is treatable. For my birthday I’d like us to do Whole 30 for a month.’ Now before you say ‘ Wow! Your husband is so mean!’ let’s just take a step back and think about it. So much so that for my husband’s birthday he sat me down and said ‘I’m concerned about you. While I didn’t particularly feel bad, I did need to lose a significant amount of weight. I could never do that! Why would I even want to do that!?” However, the more I heard people talking about it the more I became interested in it simply because the people that had done it felt so good afterwards. That’s just something that super disciplined people could do. When I first heard about the program I thought ‘ Yeah, right. So, if you can’t eat those things what do you eat? Well, basically you eat REAL food as direct from the source as possible: meat, seafood, vegetables, healthy fats and fruit. Why eliminate those things? The short answer is, while some of those things can be good for you there are other things that are better for you. THIRTY DAYS!!! But wait, you say, grains are healthy! Red wine is healthy! Beans are healthy. Whole 30 is a program in which you eliminate all alcohol, grains, dairy, legumes and sugar from your diet for 30 days. You may have heard of Whole 30 before but if not let’s just start off with a little definition of what Whole 30 is. Great, because I’m sure ready to talk about it!!! ![]() This is the inspiring story of her experience with Whole 30.Īlright, Red and Honey readers! Who is ready to learn about Whole 30?
