Potatos v. Rice

[aubiefan1]

I completed my first round;  feel phenomenal;  much more energy;  much more focused;  however,  I did not lose as much weight as I anticipated.   I am trying to lose weight in an effort to come off blood pressure meds.  In a discussion with my physician,  he actually suggested whole grain and/or brown rice rather than the potatoes.  Not trying to bust the "whole 30 regimen",  but if you find yourself in a similar situation,  it might be worth a try.

@aubiefan1 - I've moved this to the "Off track" section of the forum so that no one is confused about whole grain or brown rice being compliant to Whole30. To reiterate, anyone eating rice of any kind whether on doctor's orders or not, would not actually be doing a Whole30.
