- Get the Whole30 Program book and It Starts with Food to read before you start.
- Figure out your 'why'. Why do you want to do the program? For me, it's because of my Hypothyroidism and sugar addiction. I have always wondered if gluten and dairy effect my thyroid but I wasn't willing to give up those foods to see.....until now! AND I have a sugar addiction, seriously I freakin' love it (along with most humans) but I wanted to get it under control again.
- Prep, prep and more prep!!! Always be prepared with meals and snacks just in case you need a back up
- Get the tempting foods out of your house!
- Follow the timeline on the Whole30 website. Better yet, just save the website in your phone because you will refer to it A LOT! Keep in mind that everyone's experience is different, the timeline is a life savor but you may experience things at different times.
- 7. Follow Whole30 on social media.....Instagram has great resources.
- Continue your daily exercise. Fitness is a part of our overall health. I completed Beachbody programs during the Whole30 and it definitely helped with my success.
- Go in with a no BS attitude. You are NOT giving up and you are making it through the ENTIRE 30 days. No excuses, no giving up!
- After you are done, look at the reintroduction to food process before you begin eating all those foods you haven't for 30 days. That way you can tell which foods really bother you AND you don't go overboard and get a stomachache.
- Good luck! Although it was really hard at times, my experience was amazing! I feel great and although I'm still going to enjoy my sweets from time to time, I have it under control. I have also really enjoyed this paleo eating and plan to continue it.
If you are curious, give it a try! I won't lie, it is HARD but you will feel great
