MtnRunner Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I will admit to not being 100% compliant on my Whole30, but I'm right arounf 98% and eating better and cleaner than ever before as of Day 8 today. My stomach feels (and looks...hello potential 6 pk) great, my energy is great and I PR'd on push ups and pull ups today! I will say my running probably isn't as strong as usual but my strength training is through the roof. Maybe the extra protein, more spinach, the tablespoon of coconut milk I put in my coffee, who knows, but it's working for me and I don't feel like I'm that far into this. By now I've seen enough good things that this may be a complete lifestyle change. So my take away to others is to stick with it, don't deny yourself any of the foods you are allowed to eat (I eat a bit of fruit and nuts) and if you go slightly off-track don't beat yourself up about it, just move on and do better.

smpyndus Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'm just starting my whole30 today but have been grain-free for the past 4 months and LOVE it. As a marathon runner I found that my speed has declined SLIGHTLY, but my strength and body composition make up for it Keep it up girl! I'm looking forward to joining you at day 8!

whitjm5 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 How are you not compliant? Just curious, as some things (gluten, for example) seem to warrant a restart of the 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnRunner Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 It's more that I'm cheap so I don't want to waste what I already had so I'm finishing up things, like my almond butter that has cane sugar added to it, before I buy the compliant stuff. I snuck a piece of chocolate in one day too. For me to eat this clean is a big step so I'm not going to punish myself for being slightly off or having a little slip compared to what it used to be like. Maybe it's not the tough-guy/girl whole30 and I'm sure eventually I will do a real honest whole30, but this is really good for me and I'm getting a ton of benefits with just what I am doing so far.
