Raquel Waters Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Started the Whole30 on Jan 1st and finished Jan 30 - I am a vegetarian so had to make a few changes (no meat, some beans cooked appropriately). I absolutely hate to cook so this program meant a lot of different things to me. Main reason to do it was to get off of sugar - sugar was controlling me as it always has. I was tired of being tired, tired of feeling like absolute crap everyday, and something had to give. Thank God my friend found the Whole30 and shared it with me!! I may not be able to be 100% compliant because of being a vegetarian but this program helped me in so many ways it's unbelievable. I'm considering eating chicken again but I am just not there yet Here are some pro's from my 30 days: Suffered for at least 5 years from daily allergies - seriously felt horrible everyday! I had allergy testing done and tested positive for dust mites, molds, and several tree's. I also live in middle TN which is one of the worst places to live for allergies. Since day TWO of the whole30 I have felt better - it's incredible!! I had been taking allergy shots for the past 6 months, using the highest dose of nasal spray daily, taking an allergy pill with pseudophedrine in it and taking 2-8 advil a day. I have used my nasal spray once and have taken 4 advil ( I get bad headaches the day before my menstrual cycle). I also use to take tylenol PM regularly and have only taken it a few nights. I now go to bed very tired and wake up feeling awake!! It's very strange for me to feel that way in the morning - I like it Cooking has become not such a chore, though still a challenge. I have cooked for 30 days in a row - I have never ever even cooked for five days in a row. LOL Obviously, I won't be able to eat a Paleo diet but I will be eating as close to it as I can. Thank you so much Melissa and Dallas!! I'm so glad you all didn't ignore the call to create this program and I appreciate all of your hard work - which by the way, I know was a ton of work for you, it did not go unnoticed! I feel empowered now - I feel like a different person - after 20 years of being unhealthy (I use to be an athlete) and making excuses for myself, I am committed to myself to BE Better! (and I lost 10lbs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
