corgicoconut Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I recently finished my first Whole30. However, I want to say it was only a Whole23 or so, because for the last week I ate way too much fruit. I think I was experiencing the "extinction burst" and was confused about what was happening. Soooo, today, bad stuff happened. It started with a paleo Krunch. I had two eggs for breakfast and needed something else. I didn't have any sweet potatoes or squash pre-cooked and didn't feel like waiting to fix something anyway. I thought a Krunch was the perfect thing to re-introduce into my diet. So I ate one. But then I had two more. And some coffee cake. Then later, pizza and ice cream were calling my name! Oy vey. Now that I went on a bit of a sugar bender, I'm thinking that another Whole30 is in order. This time, with little to no fruit and lots of sleep! What think you all? Is it a good idea to do another Whole30 right after a "Whole23+" or would it be better to get myself back on track with just a Whole7 or Whole15?

Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 1, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'd say start with a Whole7 and then reevaluate. I kept going with my first Whole30 for about 4 months before I ate anything off plan, but that was enthusiasm as much as anything else. You might need to go a few months to get settled into a better place with food, but the idea is not to do a Whole30 permanently. You don't have to reintroduce anything, but life is better when you can both relax and mainly eat what is good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLaCashew Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I am in the same boat as you are! I did my first whole30 back in November and I have since fallen off the wagon a bit. I'm looking to get back on, (especially after some traditional new years celebrating last night). I definitely need to hit the re-start button and I was thinking of doing a whole7 or whole9 just to get things in order. Stay strong friend, you can do this!

ereiam Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 My first W30 was followed by really getting off track quickly. After a couple of weeks of eating junk, I started a W15 and it really got me back on track. After that I was able to off-road occasionally while staying compliant most of the time. I say give a W7 or a W15 a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
