My 2nd Whole30 4/26-5/25

Started my second Whole30 yesterday.  I had great success the first time.  Lots of non scale victories such as lower fasting blood sugar, less nausea, flatter belly and muffin top, cured my chronic cough.  I did lose about 6 lbs, which was a nice surprise.  I would say I am high normal in weight but carry excess weight around my middle.  I have a small frame .  I have never been more than slightly overweight.  And yes I know this isn't a weight loss diet but a girl can hope.  Actually not a girl but a woman in her 70's.  

The reasons I am doing this a second time are:

. Weight gaiin

. Inches gained everywhere, particularly around middle.  Clothes fitting too tightly.  I hadn't measured hips, bust, waist for 8 months and the increased inches were a shock.

Fasting blood sugar readings are creeping up  I have Type 2 diabetes that I control by eating a low carb diet.

i haven't been able to tame my dairy habit, which I suspect contributed to my weight game.  Love my heavy cream!  

i didn't do a structured reintroduce last time.

Things I will do differently this time:  less fruit,  less sweet potatoes and yams,  figure out how I can deal with dairy after Whole 30.

So wish me luck.
