Hello, I wasn't sure where to put this question, I am not actually in a round right now, but am/was considering a start date of Nov 1st. I had my MD run blood testing for food allergies last week because I wanted some cold hard facts about what I should definitely eliminate irregardless of doing a W30, and they came back completely normal today. I don't even know what this means now! I want to feel better but my bloodwork indicates it may not be a food issue?!? I have the idea that maybe I should just cut out things you can read about easily that are gut irritants and such, ie coffee

Yay! Good for you for wanting better health! Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you

your food is so yummy!

britgirl so glad to have you respond and get energized about this! I am actually sick in bed with a fever right now, ugh, got my flu shot and took a negative Covid test but man, I have been on the couch for a few days with this. I need to go grocery shopping when I'm feeling better. I am also a little apprehensive because I'm starting a new training program on the 7th, same shift just working with a preceptor and learning new things - so I will be more stressed than usual, I wonder? My big challenges are: drinking enough water, planning and prepping meals for workdays, and not having my n

Yay! So glad to hear from you both! I am excited but also afraid, mostly that I will forget how important it is to me once I get going - like once I feel better I hope I don't just think what the heck and eat a piece of pizza or some other unwise thing. It's easy to eat healthy when you are feeling poorly, you know? Also I work 12 hr shifts and don't always have scheduled breaks. That has proven to be challenging as far as food prep (making it a priority when I am already tired) and not just going to the hospital cafeteria and getting chicken strips. Also I have a hard time drinking enou

you know, I went to bed last night thinking, you ding dong, it's the holiday season! NO ONE is going to willingly sign up to abstain from stuffing and pumpkin pie with you! lol I usually have to work Thanksgiving anyway so I didn't even think about it! Rebecca, you sound like a positive and forward minded person, and we should totally do this!!! My MD sent over a lab order for insensitivity blood testing today, so I will be interested in what that shows for me. And I have been going through my cookbooks to be inspired about food again and not have such a fear of "what do I eat and how wi

Hey all, I have been struggling with some GI wellness issues lately, and am interested in seeing how changing my nutrition can make me feel more balanced. I have done two Whole30s before, it's been about two years since the last one, and to be honest I didn't see much of a difference, and no one else did either, but I also didn't really have any problems I was trying to solve. Now, whether it's aging or hormones, or stress or environment, (I'm an ICU nurse) or I don't even know what.....I feel like I want something to change, I don't like the way I feel. I am also wanting to see if el

Oooooh what are you doing for your joyful movement??? That is the only kind of athleticism I do! Also all your food sounds really yummy.
