Malgal Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hello! I have been reluctant to introduce myself for a couple of reasons. First, I am new to low carb. I am a carb addict so unlike so many of you, I haven't been eating Paleo or anything else prior to embarking on this journey. Second, when I first came on to introduce myself, I discovered that I am the only fool who set her start date to the day before Easter! Third, I have surgery scheduled May 6 and I am not going to fight the hospital staff over my diet. So why now? I didn't want to wait until after my surgery to clean my diet up. I figure that I might as well have two weeks of clean eating and if I don't start over, it was better than having zero weeks of clean eating! Once I make up my mind to do something, I don't like to wait! So here I am, on day three, and saying hello! I suffer from chronic pain and I am hoping that clean eating will help me. I just feel as though I need to detoxify. Afterwards, I hope I can find a happy balance between this type of diet and one that is less strict. I especially enjoying reading everyone's personal success stories. Good luck to all the other newbies who are starting this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Welcome! Just for clarification, Whole30 is not low carb. You can get plenty of carbs from carb-dense vegetables like sweet potato, winter squash, beets, jicama, carrots, plantains, rutabaga and parsnips.

smullins30 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I am right there with you. I haven't done anything like this before! I love sugar, I love grains, I love pasta...but what I have decided is that I love me more. So if you need a buddy....I am here. I start mine tomorrow!
