troutoil Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hey there. I'm starting my Whole30 today. I thought about starting tomorrow, but after breakfast I decided to just bite the bullet and start right away. About a year ago I did Tim Ferriss' slow-carb diet for three months and managed to lose 35 pounds in around 90 days. I'd never really worried about my weight before, but after a thyroid issue and a pretty significant weight gain it became clear that I needed to do something. I've put all of that weight, plus about 5 pounds back on in a hurry. I didn't feel like the slow-carb diet really did much for me except help me lose weight. It didn't help me change my eating habits, it didn't change my relationship with the foods that I craved and it certainly didn't develop an long-term habits. The slow-carb diet also made me really weight-obsessed. I checked my weight multiple times a day and was really good at berating myself for going up and no so good at feeling good about going down. I have high hopes for the Whole30, although I'm truly dreading giving up alcohol for 30 days, a sentiment that doesn't get me much sympathy from my wife and mother of my two children. As she says, "Try nine months". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
