@Treesh there already is a Facebook page for the Whole 30. There are no Moderators though on Facebook to help keep us straight on anything that might not be per the program.

I am going to start tomorrow. I have a large test today and not completely done with the prep. Here is my ghee. The first time I made it it too me 3 times and 8 sticks of butter. Tip don’t think you can leave it to do something else. It goes south quickly and burns. Once you make it a few times then try and do other things while making it but stay in the kitchen and close to the stove. Lol.

For those that have started have a great day 2 & 1, and for those still prepping prep away and have and awesome day everyone!!

@Roonster welcome. I so understand what happened and starting over in nothing new to me. It is fantastic that you are and not letting that slip last longer which I have done in the past. Very well done.

Thanks so much for that. I always wondered why I got hungry so quickly. Hahaha

This sounds like an awesome group. I will be starting another whole 30. I completed my successful one into 2013. Since then I have tried to do other ones but have fallen off. I am now in a critical stage of inflammation and all of my old injuries in my shoulders elbows and wrists activate it. I am in pain, I have some eczema, & sleep issues just to name a few so I’ve just got to do it. I will be 51 in May. I can definitely lose some weight as well but I am not concerned about that at this point. I have a lot of allergies because of my leaky gut. I have to stay away from garlic, onions, all peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. I do have I be careful with citrus because it can cause issues with canker sores. I am not sure if I will eliminate all of them but severely limit them. I do like using the zest. I do have an incredible time constraint. I’m in school 35 hours a week as well as working 30 to 35 hours a week. So this is going to be interesting. My problem is I prep all the food and then don’t eat it. I am a bona fide fast food junkie. I love going to breakfast and reading. That is my current vice. I have some things already made from previous weeks like beef cabbage stew. I have some meat cooked and frozen. I am prepping Brussels sprouts with sweet potatoes, asparagus, cole slaw, sweet potato salad, sautéed Swiss chard with mint & pistachios, and some salads, I will also make an egg thing but not sure. I am so busy I have to make all my food Mon-Thur. Then Thur do a prep for Fri-Sun. But I am hoping to do breakfasts fresh as much as I can. My NSV goals are to 1. Get a better handle on the sugar dragon 2. Do all food prepping on Sun & small one on Thur 3. Keep clean after cooking 4. Not going out to fast food 5. Doing my PT every day, and when ever possible walking & stretching into my week.
