Hello,

I am new to Whole30 starting on March 1st. I've begun reading Food Freedom Forever which was suggested to my by a co-worker whose completed Whole30 successfully and swears by it. I'm a diet soda drinking/sometimes binge eating guy that putting his foot down and get back on the right track. Since there is so much information out there I'm trying to wrap my head around it all. I went through the download section and downloaded everything pertinent. 

What is the best suggestion to find easy recipes for meals? Pinterest, Google, etc...? As I said this is all new to me and I want to be successful. I appreciate your help.

Welcome and good luck!

Pinterest can be a good resource, but proceed with caution. There are a lot of recipes on there that are paleo, but not Whole30 compliant that still get tagged as Whole30. Just because someone says it is Whole30 does not mean it is. 

There is a Whole30 recipes group on Facebook that is pretty good, and the forums have a lot of great ideas. I also like to just search for recipes that I like and then do my own substitutions (ex: says soy sauce, I'll omit them or use coconut aminos). 

I also really like nomnom paleo's blog. She has some great Whole30 recipes (but her blog also contains non-compliant recipes, so you have to read carefully).

Thank you. I did take a look through some of the Pinterest recipes and realized some weren't compliant. I appreciate the tips.

You can check out Official Whole30 Recipes on Facebook or Instagram -- it's a different person every week posting Whole30 compliant recipes.  All of the recipes on Whole Life Eating are Whole30 compliant.  Most of the recipes on Mel Joulwan's Well Fed website are compliant, and she's pretty good about pointing out which aren't or how to alter them to be. The official Whole30 Pinterest account has some. As TryingOver mentioned above, Nom Nom Paleo also has quite a few Whole30 recipes. A lot of bloggers have done Whole30s, so there are a ton of recipes out there, you just have to wade through them. If there's something specific you want, like a compliant taco seasoning recipe or a Whole30 version of potato salad or whatever, the easiest way to find them is to Google Whole30 plus whatever you're looking for.
