WholeLiz2016 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi, I'm Liz. I could not be more excited to start my Whole30 on Jan 1st. I've been waiting since before Thanksgiving. I do expect it to be a challenge, because I currently break every possible Whole30 rule including daily diet soda and red wine at night. My current plan is to swap the evening wine ritual out for hot green tea. Any other ideas? Thanks and good luck to all! Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole_health207 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hey Liz! I'm starting my first Whole30 January 1st as well, can't wait! It will certainly have it's challenges but from what I've read and experimented with (15 day trials) it will be worth it! Wanted to mention that green tea does have caffeine, so may not be the best option in the evening if you are sensitive to it. Maybe an herbal teal instead? I find rooibos tea to be relaxing at night Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeLiz2016 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi Meg, great point about the caffeine in the tea...so much to learn. I'll give the rooibos a try. Good luck to you also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmunchie Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I also like to replace soda and alcohol with sparkling water or kombucha (though I just started brewing my own since it's pretty pricey). I'm from a family of home brewers, so foregoing my evening beer is a tough one! But I'm sure it'll do good things for me in the long run. Here's to replacing old vices with new, healthier ones!

Mistyfire Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Kombucha! I bring it to gatherings, have it as an R&R beverage and drink it when I have that feeling of wanting something different and a little special. A bit pricey but when compared to a bottle of wine, well, it works out just fine. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny B Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 This is my second Whole30. I have a huge regular Coca Cola habit. I don't even bother with the diet. LOL! I use sparking water La Croix as well as Pelligrino. My hack for the La Croix is juicing an orange and lime and adding it to the drink. It tastes so good! It is like a treat. It adds just a little kick to the flavored water. I haven't done Kombucha, but maybe I will try it this time around. I do not drink tea or coffee. I never acquired a taste for either of them, but I will probably try some hot teas to see if I like them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
