risforraquel Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I saw a few times that a couple of newbies have the "starter kit". Does anyone here suggest me purchasing something else other than the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 There really isn't a starter kit per say. You could subscribe to the daily emails. They are pretty awesome. Also, at the top of this page are tabs with lots of documents of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risforraquel Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks Susan for the quick response. I'm new to this site (like 30 minutes new) and I'm excited to learn what the WHOLE30 is all about! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Tons of info to process. You'll have fun reading it all. Two really good documents are how the W30 works (I forget the proper name) and the meal template document. I'd link them for you, but I can't do it from my phone.

GFChris Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Susan W is right on the two good documents with which to start. Here's the summary of the Whole30 program: http://whole9life.com/2013/08/the-whole30-program/ Here's the Whole30 meal template: http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbymajewski Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The Well Fed Cookbook is a great partner to It Starts With Food. I have made many of the recipes and have been really enjoying them from the cookbook - it's also just written very well and is very down to earth. I have a list that is called Pantry Shopping list and it's either for Whole30 or is basic paleo but that helped me make sure I was buying the spices and things I needed to make good stuff. I will try to post the link here later. Another suggestion is to try to find one or two "mentors" who you can connect with often (like daily, esp in the beginning) so they can guide you and give you ideas about meal prep, what to buy, and how they were feeling at the same point you are at. That has helped me a lot - I am in a closed FB group and many of the people in there live in my town so I know them and they did Whole 30 before me so I got a lot of support from them.

risforraquel Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks for your advice libbymajewski. I noticed a lot of people on here have also purchased the well fed cookbook. I just learned about the whole90 through Instagram last week & I don't know anyone (personally) who has tried it or anyone who's even heard of it. So far, is forum is great help. I can't wait till my book comes in, I'm excited about changing my eating habits for myself & my daughter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKate48 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've been following Paleo on the advice of my allergist. Before I was a vegetarian. Searching for nutrition solution to Psoriatic Arthritis and IBS. The newsletter has been a fantastic aid to Whole30. After Bible reading, I go to the newsletter. It really helps bring focus and motivation for the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara O. Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 As Susan said, the Whole30 Daily e-mails are a great tool! I think they've helped me the most. I looked forward to reading them everyday. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risforraquel Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I want to make sure I understand correctly; are the daily emails $14 a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It is just for the 30 days so they begin on day zero and end on day 31 (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
