MAS Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I started Whole 30 on February 1 too. Well in to Day 3. I’ve been doing a very loose Paleo since May but hadn’t tackled sugar, wine, or dairy. Here goes! Can’t believe how much sugar is in everything. Learning to like black coffee!

WJStar Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yes I was so surprised too how much sugar is in everything! Even in thins I never thought of I was so surprised. I will be starting on my W30 journey on Monday but I went grocery shopping these last few days and 1. Was amazed how long it took me compare to my past experiences, hence having to read everything I picked up, 2. Was proud of how much veggies, fruited, and just good wholesome products I purchased, and no junk. I spent my day clearing out my pantry, fridge and freezer and it’s like a 180 from what it was! I can’t wait to start. How have these last few days going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whole@60 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I started February first also, and am on track so far. I am thrilled with how easy it's been so far, except for day two, but, having done quite a few "life changing diets" over the years, know that I will have tough days as well as good all along the way. I am doing it with my husband, daughter-in-law, her mother and my sister. We have a group text for ourselves that we use to check in with everybody, and that has really been good and fun. It helped that I started prepping my kitchen the week before and that the book gives me a day by day description of (roughly) how I will feel as I move through my thirty days. On day two I had mild nausea occasionally and low energy to the point that I thought my knees might give way, but that was like a little 24 hour bug and passed, thank goodness. Has anyone else experienced that "flu" in their first couple days? Any other info you want to pass along to a fellow traveler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAS Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks WJSTAR and Whole@60 for responding to my post! Its fun to have some fellow travelers starting in February. I hope in particular that you have had a good day WJSTAR as I know this was your first day. So far the first day was the hardest for me but not horrible. The thing I didn't expect was wanting to eat something after dinner...nothing specific but I think I have been used to dessert or an extra snack. What helped with that was some advice from Whole 30 about discerning the difference between a craving and hunger. Ask yourself am I hungry enough to eat some fish and rice or something compliant like a hardboiled egg. If the answer is no that is a craving and will pass. If the answer is yes than you should eat a compliant snack. I didn't have a lot of flu like symptoms just a little headache in the morning which passed with a cup of black coffee. Today I felt really energetic...its only Day 5 so we will see if this continues. I have been having some herbal tea in the evening after dinner as a new routine and that helps with wanting a little something something. Good luck to you both!
