SugarfreeLife Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well, yesterday I finished my first Whole30. Since I ate paleo before this program, I had to change only few things: no dark chocolate (it was easy, I like it but not love it) no paleo treats and no honey (I created them once, maybe twice a week anyway, so it isn't problem for me) no cappuccino (same as above) no dried fruits (big problem) fewer snacks (big problem) I'm grains, legumes and potatoes free for 7 months and dairy free (except milk in cappuccino and butter) for the same time. So it wasn't much to change for Whole30 and thus I haven't expected lifechanging results. So: I can have a pause between Meal 1 and Meal 2 without snacking. I cannot achieve the same thing afternoons, but 1 snack per day sounds OK for me (and most days it is also PREW anyway). I have stronger willpower and ability to reverse bad decisions, but I wonder how long it will last, because I had these boosts at any program/change/whatever - for limited time. I will see. I'm little dissapointed that my body is in the same shape as before (I really hoped that this helps with my plateau). I have to play with it, Mark Sisson says, that we are adaptable beasts and I think that my body adapted on paleo and takes it as normal life Tomorrow I'm going to reintroduce dairy and I want to have my cappuccinos occasionally (I only ditch them if dairy reintroduction will flow into seriously bad results). And I want to have some dark chocolate and some paleo treats now and then. I will try not to buy dried fruits (maybe "larabars" as emergency snack for trips and vacations). I don't plan to reintroduce grains and legumes. I think that I will eat some grains one day for sure (some local specialities on vacation or some extraordinary things but not the stuff I can buy anywhere anytime). I commit myself to join my second Whole30 at September 10th, after my return from Berlin trip and this time I want to play with snacks. I bought a dehydrator, so I will have some homemade jerky instead of fruits and nuts. Yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SugarfreeLife Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yesterday I reintroduced dairy and as I thought, no problems with it. Maybe I was too full after meal, that was all. I had mascarpone, yogurt and goat soft cheese during the day. All was organic, pure and tasty. So I think I can have my cappuccino occasionally and maybe some full fat dairy (mascarpone etc.) with berries as a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
