twiggssl Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi everyone! I am starting my first Whole30 next Monday 1.9.17. I made a goal last year to get in better shape. I have mastered this goal and now I go to the gym 5-6 times a week when I can and started working with a trainer (whom I adore!). I started eating better, making better choices, counting calories, counting macros...and then BAM, a binge would happen and I would start the food cycle all over again. My diet is my struggle, so this year, it is my goal to make better diet decisions. I am excited to give Whole30 a shot. I need structure and a plan that has clear do's and don'ts. I've done my reading research and this weekend, I plan on doing a kitchen overhaul and plan my shopping trip(s). Can't wait to go on this journey with everyone!

jmcbn Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hey @twiggssl & welcome to the forum We'd encourage you NOT to count calories OR track macros during your 30 days - the aim being that you start to listen to your body & learn to understand it's hunger signals... Good luck with the kitchen over-haul & shopping, and maybe try getting in some food prep too - preparation is key to success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiggssl Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi @jmcbn! I did read that and thought that to be interesting. I am looking forward to NOT counting anything and worrying about if it fits the macros! I feel like that can sometimes lead to unwanted stress. I enjoy grocery shopping, especially with a TJ's so close to my apartment. My trainer introduced me to meal prep - which when I follow it, it is great!

ColleenSw Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm starting on the same day! *high fives I'm relying on meal planning to get me through this because when I don't have a plan, I have pizza delivery. The idea of calorie counting sounds tedious and not something that can be done long-term, IMO. I'm so glad the Whole30 discourages it. Good luck!!

twiggssl Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 @ColleenSw - yay!! Meal planning can be a lot of fun! Calorie counting was annoying at times, and I don't think it was ever 100 percent accurate. I am excited to not have to remember to track anything! @Kip38 awesome - good luck :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
