  1. I am on day 13 (first W30). Have had almost no issues since starting (yay!). The last few days I was traveling and had to eat out for dinner two nights in a row. Two nights ago I ordered a beef burger from Applebees. Extra patty. Only ate 2 patties, pickles, and a side salad with very little of their balsamic vinaigrette. Woke up yesterday with a splitting headache. It took several hours to go away. Last night at airport, I went to a mexican restaurant, ordered a side of their fajita steak (verified no butter), and a small side of guacamole. Woke up again this morning with a splitting headache. There are two common denominators... both nights I had read meat while eating out (I had a steak at home last week and had no problems). Also, the last two days I had a good breakfast, but a very light lunch because of outings with not much in compliant foods. So maybe I didn't even enough on those days? Although neither day was I feeling any terrible hunger pains. It was more that I knew I needed to eat more so I found a dinner solution. Is it possible it's something in the meat when eating out? Or maybe it is just allergies and climate changes (I was in Louisiana and now back in Colorado - so two very different climates)? Thanks for any advice or help! Jen
  2. I am doing W30 for 6 weeks on the advise of my integrative medicine practitioner as a way to address several issues including stalled weight loss, tinnitus, peri-menopause and mood/motivation issues. It's been a super interesting process so far - especially realizing how many things have added sugar! I started on 11/1 - so I am on Day 8 and I have been fortunate to not have any major side effects. Overall, I am feeling good and cravings have not been bad overall. The real challenge is headed my way over the next two weekends. I am traveling to south Louisiana (where I am from) for a 4-day weekend this week - and if you have ever visited south Louisiana you know that it is ALL about the food there... and it is super difficult to find healthy/compliant meals. I am shopping to eat at home as much as possible, but still the planning part of that is stressing me out! Then next weekend I have to go to Las Vegas. It's a quick trip - 36 hours, but still so difficult! I am also very much a social drinker and going home or going to Vegas both usually involve drinking. UGH! Overall, I feel good about sticking to the plan because my practitioner is comparing before and after bloodwork and I am really motivated to figure out if food is causing some of my issues (and also excited about learning to pay better attention to labels). But still - I think I may have picked the worst time of year to do this!! Wish me luck!
  3. Oh dang! I completely missed that super small print! Labels are TRICKY! Thank you for the second look!
  4. I am starting tomorrow - Nov 1st. I am also doing it for 6 weeks per my doc's recommendation. This is my first time doing it so I am going to be spending a lot of time on this website and forum looking for tips, success stories, etc. Happy to be a buddy with you :). Oh, I am 44 (45 in January) and I live in the Denver, CO area. I am doing this to help a few things including mood, motivation, and weight loss/hormonal issues. Hoping I can figure out what in my diet is affecting me!
  5. Hi, I am starting whole thirty this week and will be doing it for 6 weeks per my doctor's recommendation. I have been reading a ton since visiting my doctor last week, but this morning I though about this mix I drink daily right now. I think everything in this is compliant - I just mix a scoop with water in the morning, but I thought I would ask for a few more pairs of eyes to look and see if anything jumps out as non-compliant. I searched the forums for a few words that jumped out at me but didn't have any luck finding them mentioned. Thanks in advance for helping a first timer!
