ChefMel Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 A (significantly younger) friend of mine did Whole 30 a year ago and raved about the life changing results which piqued my interest. I bought the book and psyched myself to begin the regimen 5 days ago. I feel better already. I would like to compare results with any other participant over the age of 65. Is there such a forum?

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted July 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2018 There isn't a dedicated forum to older folks but there have been a few groups in the past that have been anyone over 50 I believe... you can find previous threads by googling 'whole30 over 50' and 'whole30 older women' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori d Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I am 72 and starting this in the morning on the advice of my PA. Trouble with sleep tonight thinking about what I haven't done to prep. Maybe we can help each other through. You can do it ChefMel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefMel Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I completed Whole 30 on August 24. A friend of mine did whole 30 last year and said it was life changing. I got the book and read it multiple times. I psyched myself to do it and am happy to report it was well worth the effort. The regimen cleared up some problems I had with my legs. I also slept better, was more energetic and had a clearer head. I also never felt hungry or deprived. I am slowly introducing some of the forbidden foods but definitely plan on avoiding sugar and bread. I love my home made mayo and salad dressings and plan to continue clarifying butter.

I’m a 71 year old woman and did whole 30 5 months ago and still do it more stay every day. I’ve lost 40 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefMel Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 That's great work! I too am trying to continue on a modified program of W30. I have been traveling so I try to make good food choices while on the road. I plan to go back to the program when I get home because I can better control my diet. I really like the way I feel while on it. I also lost weight which I needed...but the lack of inflamation was the real NSV! BTW I'm 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam71 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I started whole 30 on September 7 and I haven’t had any bad symptoms of anything. Everything has just gotten better. I’m going to continue doing this because I love how I feel. My achy bones are better, I haven’t had a collitis attack since I started, I don’t nap anymore. And my house is cleaner. All in all it’s all good and I’m not even done. This is going really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefMel Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 I too have enjoyed good health. I live an active life and exercise daily. I thought I ate a healthy diet, avoiding fats, salt, carbs, etc. However, following Whole 30 made me feel so much better and I ate clarified butter, used EVO and avocado oil to roast veggies, and used the prescribed amounts of oil and salt in all the W-30 recipes. Amazing results. I think sugar was the big culprit. I plan to continue a modified version of W-30 forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
