jscroggins Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hi everybody, My name is Jason and this is actually my second attempt at Whole 30. I tried it a few years ago and just couldn't stick with it. I came up with all sorts of excuses of why it was a bad time to do it but in reality there is no good time other than the present. I travel quite a bit and I was trying to plan around my trips but that caused me to just keep putting it off. I did all of the research, have a plan ready and decided last night that I'm not waiting anymore. So here's to Day!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenlevine67 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Good luck to you. I too just started today but this is my first attempt. I don't cook but managed to make chicken bone broth, beef bone broth, egg/spinach/tomato muffin pan thingys and a pork/sweet potato/carrot/pineapple concoction and it isn't totally horrible.

JulieChange Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Started 3/15 too. They weren't kidding about feeling tired day 3 I was a zombie! Sugar dragon is nipping at my heels big time. Eating dried fruit and regular fruit but I know I am just doing that to appease the sugar dragon instead of confronting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori22 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I started on the 15th, too! My first Whole 30. I did a 'practice' earlier this month - 2 weeks - as I knew I was going on a trip where I'd have alcohol and desserts. So, started on the real thing the day I got back. So far, I feel great! Good luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melinaka Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 What day is this? Day 20! I'm losing track but know D30 is fast approaching. I just read an article about fruit in our diets and it made an interesting point about how it's used as energy. It contradicts what we've been told about not eating fruit alone but WITH meals. This could be sabotaging fat loss... The article points out that fruits are disaccharides. They have both fructose and glucose. If you eat them alone, glucose is immediately used as energy and fructose is used after. Think "slow burn" for fructose. But if you're eating your fruit with something like granola, the body breaks that down and it is available to use as energy before the fructose of the fruit is processed by the liver. If you're not in need of that much energy, the fructose will be stored as fat So... Unless you're really burning alot of calories, you really need to watch how you're consuming your fruits! Thoughts?

Melinaka Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 P. S. I know no one is eating granola right now. It was just an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Fructose is ALWAYS used after glucose, regardless of how/when you eat your fruit, which is why the recommendation is to limit it's consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
