Margie Brizz Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hello everyone. My husband and I are on day 7 of our first whole 30. We live in Italy, so you can imagine how hard it is for us to avoid pasta! One the plus side, we have a local market twice a week, so fresh vegetables are easy to get. It's very hard to find spaghetti squash, though! Anyone else in their fifties doing this for the first time? Anyone in Italy? Regards, Margie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookin'mama Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I am in my 60's and doing my first whole 30. Spaghetti squash is a staple for me and I would be sick if I couldn't get it. If you find it, buy several because it keeps for months. If you have a spiralizer, zucchini makes a great pasta alternative, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 22, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi Margie, sorry it took so long to answer! There's a thread of a bunch of amazing women around their 50's - 60's doing Whole30 for the first time. They started in January but you can still go join in if you like. http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/23750-over-60-and-starting-first-whole30/ There's another thread right now about what to put your spaghetti sauces on and there are some good "noodly" ideas there. I personally detest spaghetti squash, I tend to use either roasted brocoli, zoodles, yoodles or half a baked potato (sweet or white, doesn't matter) or quarter of a baked acorn squash. http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/24307-what-do-i-put-my-whole30-compliant-spaghetti-sauce-on/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBC Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Amazing to do a whole30 in Italy. Zoodles will do the trick with any italian sauce. Fresh tomatoes, basil, oregano yum. Take a look at my italian recipes and you can get great tastes from italian produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margie Brizz Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thank you everyone. I'm very bad at returning and checking for answers, so I just saw this now. Ive completed my 30 days and am now trying to maintain the momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
