It was insane! By the end of the 6 weeks things like rutabaga and carrots were tasting "sweet" to me.

I've been having wild sleeps lately, moving around a lot, etc., and a lot of bad dreams :-( Not sure why. <br /><br />The Whole30 program definitely sounds tough. I don't feel like I eat a lot of sugar when cooking at home, but of course it's hiding in so many things/ingredients, so I'm probably eating more than I realize.Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-59101593789891460792016-04-05T18:54:52.090-05:002016-04-05T18:54:52.090-05:00We just talked about this via text - so you know h...We just talked about this via text - so you know how I'm doing with it. <br /><br />I am amazed by how much sugar is hidden. and let me tell you - I was SO addicted to sugar and dairy before this. I had cheese or gluten every time I put food in my mouth I think lol. (that's a little exaggeration, but not far off)<br /><br />I have found that I love coffee with coconut oil and almond milk! It's the new way I will take my coffee! And I have found an appreciation for bananas. I used to eat toast & peanut butter for a pre-run snack, but have had to change to bananas. I can actually swallow them when it's all I can eat lol. Interesting how that works! ;)<br /><br />Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-41282983615862570952016-04-04T21:51:20.065-05:002016-04-04T21:51:20.065-05:00You're doing great with the whole 30! At least...You're doing great with the whole 30! At least you know it's not sustainable as a lifestyle now. sugar is in everything. If it comes in a box, jar, or bag there is sugar added. Even my beloved hot sauces are usually jacked with sugar. It's so frustrating! Soy is in everything too.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-28978857904504650822016-04-04T19:28:56.483-05:002016-04-04T19:28:56.483-05:00Yup, I bet your friend is so right that you just d...Yup, I bet your friend is so right that you just don't see the same crazy results because you eat so healthy anyway. <br /><br />You are doing a great job and the recipes you posted this week all sound delicious!Kelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415604174106394910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-41540824525548294882016-04-04T16:37:18.077-05:002016-04-04T16:37:18.077-05:00I've got one of those pots that has a slow coo...I've got one of those pots that has a slow cooker function and a pressure cooker function and I can't recommend it enough! I've used the slow cooker a few times to make things overnight but I mostly use the pressure cooker to have meals ready super fast. I love the look of your ratatouille zucchini boats and will add that to my list of things to try.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11117293551637263244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-12065895187736964352016-04-04T09:48:20.892-05:002016-04-04T09:48:20.892-05:00One week and a few days?

I agree with your friend- I think you're a really healthy eater to begin with so I'm not surprised you aren't seeing all the same results as others that did this program. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I always love to see/hear about what other people eat :) Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673644115797850874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-52454961495291306882016-04-04T08:27:54.881-05:002016-04-04T08:27:54.881-05:00If you ever do find the solution to having boundle...If you ever do find the solution to having boundless energy, fill me in! I used to have lots of energy but as I age, it is waning. Bleh!<br />Your food looks very good and healthy!<br /><br />Isn't it sad that there is sugar in so many foods? I guess we just have to eat all whole foods, but that would not be very much fun! <br /><br />One more week to go! You have almost made it!

It's not like you are swapping from eating McDonalds every day to eating the Whole30. This change, especially since you already have cut out grains and dairy, is not as huge of a change as it is for others. I have a coworker who is doing some sort of ketosis diet and he has dropped a ton of weight. If I did that, I would probably not lose that much, as I already skip most processed foods, plus he is two times my size, so he is just losing the initial fat, whereas I feel that the later fat is harder to drop. The other thing for me is that due to my running, my body has become pretty efficient at STORING energy and so I actually do not burn off calories as quickly as some may assume I would.
