I completed my first whole30, plus a few days, a couple of months ago.  I didn't do the reintroduction phase well as we went to Hawaii and  ordered pizza one night to our room.  I didn't think there would be much harm in having a couple of slices of pizza.  I had been feeling better than ever but the day after the pizza was THE.WORST.DAY.EVER.  I had a terrible headache, was dizzy, and just not feeling well; that knocked me out for the day in Hawaii.  I am on day 5 of my second round and it is much easier this time so far.  Day 2 and 3 I struggled slightly with cravings but it went away quickly enough and I am back to feeling well.  

I didn't start this journey for weight loss alone, although my clothes felt soooo much better after my  30 plus days were up.  I started this program to stop tracking, stop obsessing and stop the sugar binge and restrict cycle I have been on my entire lift.  It worked.  It is amazing how well it worked, how satiated I feel, and how good I feel.  I have done Eating for Life, Atkins, just low carb, weight watchers, nutri-system, Beachbody's 21 day fix...I have never felt this good and felt like I could sustain the changes for life.  I do now.  I can't wait to see how this round goes!

Hey there!

I am considering starting another Whole30 - Round 2! Similar situation happened to me. I finished my 1st Whole 30 on July 31, but then went to visit a college friend. We went to all of our favorite eating out places and that pretty much sent me on a downward spiral of my previous habits - fast food, sweets in the afternoon, blah blah, blech. :( All of the weight I lost, I gained right back and clothes are fitting snug again. 

It's encouraging to hear that the second time around is going well. What day are you on now? Any advice?

Thanks!!!

Wow.  Thanks for sharing.  I am on my first whole30 and I can just see each of those scenarios playing out the same way for me.  So now I know, I will have to  be super careful and follow the re-introduction properly.  I hope I won't just go back to my old ways, because I also feel pretty good and darned proud even if it is only 7 so far. 

Good luck with your round twos!!!!!
