Day 5: Friday October 3rd

No wine on a Friday night!!!

Post your food intake to comments.

Day4: Thursday October 2nd

Beat the cravings monster!




By now, you have all experienced cravings and hanger and have questioned why you are doing this. Stay strong and know that your cravings will be the strongest during the first week. Remind yourself why you are doing this and arm yourself with strategies to stay strong.

Learn to differentiate between cravings and hunger. Plan your meals and snacks ahead so that you don't end up hungry with no healthy options around. I am encouraging everyone to eat whole food during the Whole30, but I ordered myself a case of RxBar for those emergency snacks and moments of desperation. Hungry leads to Hangry and nobody wants that.

Try a tall glass of water! You will be surprised how many times thirst is mistaken for hunger. In the evening make yourself a cup of herbal tea at the time where you would have normally reached out for the dark chocolate.  

Same goes for boredom. Listen to your body, eat when you are hungry and don't when you are not. Cut down on mindless snacking and go for a walk instead or crack open a book!

I love you all, stay strong. Weekend is coming!

Happy Hump Day!

Post meal to comments.

Day 2: Tuesday September 30th

If you've cut out coffee, good for you you fool! Hopefully the caffeine withdrawal headache goes away today. Seriously I applaud you. I personally cannot live without sugar and coffee at the same time and be a remotely nice person. And thankfully have grown to love black americanos no room. ;)

Post your meals to comments.







Day1: Monday September 29

Here we go!! Day 1. 
This is where you come to post your meals and snacks and everything in between! You can post at the end of each day a recap of everything you ate or post after each meal. Bottom line is you must post! It will for one keep you accountable, it will also help me out if I need to give you feedback, help you in staying connected with the group and get the most out of this challenge.
Post your food intake to comments. Go team! 

Whole30 in a Nutshell

Hi team! 

As we embark on this challenge together, let's further define what the Whole30 stands for. 
The program focuses around foods that fulfill what they call the four “Good Food Standards.” Such foods do the following:

1.Promote a healthy psychological response.
2.Promote a healthy hormonal response.
3.Support a healthy gut.
4.Support the immune function and minimize inflammation.

If its sounds too simple it's because it is. Just eat real food! 


1.Eat foods that make you more healthy – meat, seafood, and eggs, lots of vegetables, some fruit, and plenty of healthy fats.
2.Do not consume any added sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes, or dairy.
3.Do not attempt to recreate junk foods or desserts by using “approved” ingredients.
4.Do not step on the scale for the entirety of your program.

For more specifics please refer to the Whole30 official link.

The reasons why we decide to embark on this challenge will vary. But I can tell you one thing, you will come out of it feeling better and having a healthier relationship with food.
 It will change the way you think about food, it will change your tastes, it will change your habits and your cravings. It could, quite possibly, change the emotional relationship you have with food, and with your body. It has the potential to change the way you eat for the rest of your life.

Let's hit the reset button. Time to get healthy!
trip them from your diet completely. Cut out all the psychologically unhealthy, hormone-unbalancing, gut-disrupting, inflammatory food groups for a full 30 days. Let your body heal and recover from whatever effects those foods may be causing. Push the “reset” button with your metabolism, systemic inflammation, and the downstream effects of the food choices you’ve been making. Learn once and for all how the foods you’ve been eating are actually affecting your day to day life, and your long term health. The most important reason to keep reading?
