Sara-Marie 7 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi everyone! I completed my whole30 yesterday, on my 27th birthday! Here are the results I experienced while on my Whole30: I have more energy I sleep like a baby (but I NEED my 8 hours) My skin has cleared up My clothes fit way better - I'm actually down a size! I have a better relationship with food - I don't feel the need to overindulge. I'm fuller faster and don't feel the need to have seconds. I don't have to count points, measure servings, or count calories. It's LIBERATING. Just fill my plate with real food. It's SO SIMPLE. AND NO GUILT. If I am still hungry - I eat! My food taste better - I don't know how to describe it, but fruit taste sweeter now and vegetables taste so good and my food just taste so awesome lately. And it's not just that I'm a great cook. I have some recipes that are 100% compliant from prior to this change - and they just taste better now. I think since I'm no longer eating artificially enhanced foods, I can now appreciate true flavor. I've experienced new foods - I LOVE cauliflower and Brussels sprouts now -- who knew? I feel empowered/committed/proud of myself/just generally awesome I don't feel deprived of anything - I actually finally feel in control for the first time ever! I have more confidence I lost weight! From July 31 through August 31st - I have lost 6.6 pounds! For my full story and some before and after pictures, feel free to check out my blog! SO HAPPY! ~Sara-Marie Link to post Share on other sites

Sara-Marie 7 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thank you!! And I'm obsessed with roasted sweet potato! So delicious! Congratulations on being halfway there! It starts getting easier! Link to post Share on other sites
Colleen Roy 407 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Congratulations! Your success is evident in your smile (and your measurements-you can definitely see a difference!) Isn't it amazing how much better food tastes now? I found the same thing-I'm about a month out from finishing my whole30 and every time I've had something non-compliant since then, it just doesn't taste as good as the real food I've come to know and love! Yum-brussel sprouts!!! I LOVE them! I roast them with diced pancetta and onions with a little bit of olive oil. DELISH. And sweet potatoes are the best! I eat sweet potato hash in some form or another almost every day! Cauliflower?! As rice? Why would I ever go back to eating real rice? SO good! Enjoy your success! Link to post Share on other sites
Sara-Marie 7 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thank you for your comment Colleen! I will definitely have to try the brussels sprouts with pancetta and onions - sounds AMAZING! Anything with sweet potato is my favorite! Link to post Share on other sites
