Mary2244 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 This is my first time doing the Whole30 program. I've read the book and am just trying to prepare a week or so of meal plans before I start, just so I have an idea of the types of recipes I can make up. I really enjoy cooking, so this program will allow me to come up with a different way to cook, healthier. I have a lot of digestion issues, so I hope by the end of this program I will have a clearer picture of what foods I can tolerate, and which I cannot.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted July 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2015 Excellent, welcome! There look to be quite a few people starting around the same time you will be, so you'll be in good company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekkiss Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I am starting my first Whole30 01AUG. I am really looking forward to it. I would have started last week but it is my moms 80th birthday next Monday. Let's do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynara Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'll be starting August 1st as well. Tried my first Whole30 last year but got really sick (not related to my eating!) and had to stop for a while. Hoping this time I'll get past Day 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenm Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi! I'm in for August 1. It's my first Whole 30. I'm reading the book and planning meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegna66 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hello everyone! I am starting Aug 1 as well. Last winter I switched from vegetarian (5+ years) to paleo and loved it. Since then life has gotten in the way and I've slacked off. Right now I would call myself paleo during the week and "free range" on the weekends. The problem of course is that it takes me two days to recover from my weekend baking binges! I love eating healthy and am looking forward to the reset of both my body and mind.

Jaycee.Marie13 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Starting. On August 1st!! This is my first Whole30! I am hoping it will break my emotional addiction to food ! I am 47 and feel like I'm 60! Let's do this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpledragon7 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hi All, I will be joining you in starting this program. I'm hoping to relieve some tummy issues and learn better foods to eat. I don't really cook much except simple things so this will be a lesson in cooking too! Excited to have better ideas for my afternoon boredom munchies.

cjst68 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm starting August 1st also. This will be my first whole30. I picked up the Whole30 book at costco the other day and have read it cover to cover. I love to cook so I'm looking forward to that part. I have 5 kids, so my challenge will be keeping this together amidst the chaos! I'm hoping to take on my sugar and bread addictions as well as see some changes to my daily "need" for a nap. Hoping to make some whole30 freezer meals and sauces this coming week in preparation--no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev920 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm starting August 1st too! Glad I'm in good company. I just got back from a vacation that was over indulgent and cannot wait to get myself back on track! Good luck to everyone else starting with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusseting Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm starting august 1 too! I'm based in australia, so decided to shell out for a few hard to find things here - namely a spiralizer, coconut aminos, and bulk coconut oil. I find myself reaching for carbs as a coping mechanism, so these 30 days are going to be...interesting! day at a time...Am doing it as a vegetarian - who else is?

dyp Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm in for August 1. This will be my second Whole30. It went very well the first time but I had no time to exercise so my goal this time is to combine exercise with the program. Also last time I ate the same meals over and over just because it was easy. This time I have the Whole30 cookbook and I'm excited to try the recipes. Good luck everyone. It will be worth it.

Hey girl... just a note about the carbs... make sure you're including at least a fist sized serving of starchy veg a day and when you're craving sugar/sweets (I assume that's what you mean by carbs), the best way to kill it is to either starve it out or, if you're truly hungry, fat and protien. Don't skimp on fat at your meals either and you'll likely find that your carb cravings are quite manageable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't skimp on fat at your meals either and you'll likely find that your carb cravings are quite manageable! thanks so much - i mean carbs as in... corn, rice, bread, potatoes... (i see that potatoes are allowed, so i'll be careful about those - maybe doing an egg/potato salad from time to time). my major thing to kick to the curb is mee goreng ramen noodles because they're so cheap and easy to make, but i get that they're doing me no favours. i've just done some reading up about starchy veg, and its great to see that it's perfectly normal to eat 4-5 sweet potatoes a week. that could be me!

Jaycee.Marie13 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Day 2 of first 30 and I have a new obsession ... Bananas and almond butter ... I also made a great raspberry vinegrette. Was disappointed to find out that my Ibuproohen has cornstarch so have to find another headache cure ... Maybe an essential oil like peppermint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettylouis89 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Can't wait to start the program. I've read the Whole 30 book and will grocery shop tomorrow. I have cleaned out my pantry to prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlyinMN Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm in for August 1. I was a lurker for the July 1 group. My husband said he'd try it too, although I think he just means he'll eat what I cook but he's free to eat on his own. I'm okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-mo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thinking I'll join the August 1st Whole30 group.... Just finishing my first Whole 30 today and not sure I'm ready for re-introduction yet--I need another month (with a couple slight modifications for myself). For all of you getting ready to start in on your first Whole30... I can tell you it's an adventure and it's rewarding! You can do it! Definitely look to the forum, especially the advanced users' comments, as they'll have many insights into challenges you're experiencing. Get ready!

ktkronbergs Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm starting on Aug 1st. Time to clean out the kitchen! Got 3 friends who have done it in the past, very glad to have their expertise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherylW Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm starting my first Whole 30 on August 1st too. It's almost here. I'm excited to have a lot of company on this journey. Is anyone subscribing to the daily newsletter? I have both books so don't know if that offers anything new. Good luck to every one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anadarko Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm joining in on August 1, as well. My first whole 30 was August 2013 but I'm looking forward to doing it again. I really didn't appreciated the results last time as much as I should have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
