JafaGirl Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well I did it, and I'm very very pleased with the results. I'd been eating Paleo prior to this (probably around 80-90% clean) but I was definitely slipping back into old habits in terms of sugar consumption - my main aim with my Whole 30 was to beat the sugar addiction, and I really feel like I've succeeded. I know now that if I do have a treat that I will do so because I really want it and know it will taste delicious, not because I am hungry/stressed/upset/hormonal/insert excuse here. Also, a very positive change for me is using words like 'treat' and retiring words like 'naughty' 'good' 'cheat' 'deserve' etc. I feel like I finally, FINALLY have a healthy relationship with food, after battling with my weight my entire life. So onto the other stuff (the numbers!): Weight lost: 3.1 kgs (6.8 lbs), not as much as I thought I would lose given I was going from eating fairly clean to completely clean. However, I'm about halfway through my weightloss journey and the scales are not necessarily a good indicator when you're like me and plateauing every 10 kgs or so. Measurements: 3 cms (1.1 inches) from my waist 4 cms (1.5 inches) from my hips 2 cms (0.75 inches) from my stomach 1.5 cms (0.55 inches) from my thigh And yesterday I went shopping because my clothes are all too big. That's probably the most exciting part! Looking forward to experimenting with reintroduction, not because I want to eat bread or pasta, but I'm particularly interested in seeing exactly what foods affect me detrimentally. My partner and I are travelling to the US in November, and I definitely want to know if I have a serious gluten/dairy intolerance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
