Review: It's like Christmas in my Kitchen. - Hi, my name is Meg and I'm a chronic failure when it comes to dieting. (hi, meg!) The absolute BEST thing about Whole30 is that it simply is not a diet. I first stumbled upon Whole30 after two different friends--from two different friend circles--discussed this 30 day "plan" they were completing. As one girl whined and moaned about not being able to chew gum, I naturally took that as a challenge and thought: I'll do this Whole30 and not be such a baby about it. I read the Whole30 blog, I used Instagram as a means to gather additional recipes and helpful hints, and ten days later, I began day one. Surprisingly, I found it to be the BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED to my little round self. I gained confidence, learned that I do have the ability to say "no" to food cravings, discovered a myriad of new recipes, cured all of my PCOS symptoms (regular menstrual cycles for the first time in ten years and no cysts), and as a bonus, dropped 2 pants sizes. As a child, I was in and out of the hospital with stomach pains and problems (I'll spare all the details) and after following Melissa & Dallas' Whole30, I ate sans stomach aches for the first time EVER. Truly, I did not know that was possible. For my entire life eating a meal meant some level of pain/discomfort while my food digested. Not anymore! Also, chronic migraines: gone! Whole30 can be a challenge, but it isn't hard. It's worth it. About this book: LAWD, HAVE MERCY! It's beautiful. I'm leaving it on my coffee table forever. (Confession: I did, in fact, walk back and forth from my kitchen to my coffee table while I cooked tonight because I didn't want to risk getting food on the new pages. It's brand new and I'm in love, okay?) It presents all information necessary to complete Whole30, informs one about all rules, discusses the importance of following the rules, and provides a plethora of recipes and resources. (They went above and beyond here, people.) The photography is amazing. The typography is stunning. The recipes are delicious. And, may I say again that the book is just so incredibly BEAUTIFUL? From one wonder woman to another wonder (wo)man, you must buy the book. Give Whole30 a try. (If all else fails, you'll have a stunning book on display to let all your guests see how "healthy" you are.) But really, Whole30. Just do it. (Also, I'd love to answer any additional questions you may have regarding this book or the purchase of this book. instagram: @roemeg)
Review: Rethink Food - Whole30 review, y'all, for anyone interested. It's long. If not interested, just move along. Nothing for you here. I completed my own vegetarian version of Whole30 yesterday. 30 days. I am having a glass of wine right now. Here is what happened, and here is what I learned. Reason for doing Whole30: Trying to be healthier. Would be nice to lose weight, but goal is to feel healthier and more energetic. Modifications: My own vegetarian mods. Real Whole30 wants you to eat a lot of meat, chicken, fish, eggs, and animal fat, but no dairy (except ghee). I did not eat meat or chicken. Ate more fish than I have eaten for a long time, especially salmon and water-packed solid albacore from the Door to Door Organics - Colorado. Would eat a whole can for lunch. Substituted olive oil for the animals fats Whole30 seems to like so much. I did just order some pasture-raised ghee from desertcart. I did include Greek yogurt (2%), eggs (and LOTS of egg whites), legumes (mostly cooked myself), extra firm tofu, and edamame. These are modifications for vegetarians suggested by Whole30, but they still prefer vegetarians switch to meat for the duration and don't do yogurt, legumes, or soy. Oh, well. Worked for me. I am not convinced that lots and lots of animal fat is good for you. I did not count calories, and I was never hungry. If I got hungry, I ate something. I learned to recognize the feeling of being satisfied. The diet is relatively high in healthy fats (ate a lot of avocados, olive oil, almond butter and almonds). Feel healthier?: Absolutely. No doubt about it. Much more stamina when walking and biking--climbed Mt. Elbert and Boulder 1/2 marathon is in a month--just speed-walked 11 miles in training for that. Began yoga and continuing daily planks. Still need to work on upper body strength. Sleeping much better. Post-nasal drip still there, but controlled with herbal meds. Probably has nothing to do with diet. Lose weight?: 7 pounds. Not nearly as much as I would have liked in 4 weeks. Sad considering all the changes I made. Clothing seems more than 7 pounds looser. You aren't supposed to weigh yourself for the 30 days, and at the end of 30 days, I was expecting a lower number. frown emoticon Cravings: Totally lost cravings for my big three "no brakes" foods: "healthy carbs" (like whole wheat bread, whole grain cereal, granola), cheese, and sweets. Like a lot of people who give up sugar, things like carrots and LaCroix water taste really sweet to me now. I go through those little packs of baby multicolored carrots really fast. Hank and Maya help. No gluten, of course. I know I'm not allergic to gluten and it isn't a health problem for me, but it's entirely possible it induces cravings. I am not planning to reintroduce these deliberately, but will eat them if the occasion arises (followed by 2 days of Whole30 plan to see what happens). You learn really quickly what your cravings are. Almond butter is allowed on the diet, but if you find yourself hoovering almond butter out of the jar, that is craving to be aware of. SWAPO: "Sex with your pants on." This is what Whole30 calls pseudo-desserts and treats that are made with Whole30-compliant ingredients but resemble cookies, candy, etc. They are forbidden on Whole30 because they keep you looking at treats as rewards. (Think paleo cookies or Chocolate Covered Katie--and I love her recipes!.) I mostly did not eat SWAPO food with the exception of a banana-eggwhite concoction I made a lot for breakfast and Chocolate Covered Katie's Seedy Protein Balls. I also made Capello's delicious almond flour pasta, which is considered SWAPO. Also took Larabars hiking Mt. Elbert. None of these made me want to run out and eat a pan of brownies. I am looking to introducing a few more of Katie's SWAPO foods with moderation, now that the 30 days is over. Wine: Didn't really crave it, but missed it, especially if Steve was drinking it and praising its glories. The problem with wine is that 2+ glasses awakens the "sugar and carb demon" and dissolves inhibitions and willpower. Sticking to 8 glasses/week and no more than 2 glasses a day. Counting glasses on Livestrong! Focusing on quality rather than quantity. Get the expensive stuff. Water: Plan to continue to drink more water instead of wine and/or coffee. I have also come to love kombucha and it seems to curb appetite. I have found that I don't miss wine if I have a glass of LaCroix mineral water (especially the pineapple strawberry flavor). Just want something in a glass. If you are interested in doing Whole30, get the book (and read it) and subscribe to Whole30 Daily on the website. The recipes are excellent! These people are totalitarian. If you cheat during the 30 days, you have to start over. If you want to modify (like my vegetarian mods), set it up at the beginning and don't cheat after that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easier recipes than many other paleo books
*by S***P on July 20, 2015*

I read It Starts With Food in January & completed my first Whole30. Before January, I had followed a very strict low carb diet for 2 months. I even consulted with a physician after one month of no results on the low carb diet, who suggested I add in more protein and small meals to help with weight loss. In the past, low carb diets worked like a dream for me, but this time nothing happened. Probably from years of dieting when the scale tipped to an undesirable number then eating what I wanted once I was back to my normal weight. (Or maybe all of the artificial sweeteners & processed protein bars I was filling up on?) I'm mid thirties with 2 kids &, even though I'd lost all baby weight, experienced a big move that precipitated me gaining about 15 lbs before I went low carb. When it didn't work, I panicked. Thank goodness I found It Starts With Food. I had never felt better in my life. I lost 10 lbs in one week (I know I wasn't supposed to weigh myself, but I felt so good I had to!), where I had been at a stale mate on low carb. In all, I lost 15 lbs, which took me back to my normal weight. Towards the end, though, it wasn't about the weight. It was about the health. I've gone in and out of a paleo type diet & falling off the wagon since January & felt like I needed a reboot. I had pre-ordered this cookbook in April so I dusted it off in July and got started on Whole30 number 2. My husband is doing it along with me this time. We are on day 8 & I referenced the Whole 30 timeline that says days 10 & 11 are the hardest days in conversation today. He has finally gotten through his energy slump & has been feeling great, so asked why Day 10 was supposed to be hard. I told him about food boredom. He acted appalled. "Everything we've eaten has been AWESOME!!" If you knew my husband you'd realize how out of character this comment is. His diet (pre Whole30) consists of numerous Cokes (sometimes 6-8 a day!), cheese, and grains with a healthy amount of meat. He loves doughnuts and French toast & canned green beans & carrots are the only vegetable he'd eat. Since following 90% just this cookbook, he's actually tried and LOVED asparagus, sweet potatoes & more. What's even more crazy is that this weekend he actually took to the kitchen & created some "hot plates" of his own. We have been married 7 years & I can count on my fingers the number of meals he's cooked. So this is big. He's interested in food & health & new flavors. His enthusiasm is making this 2nd time around so much more fun. I recommend this for anyone new to Whole30. While a lot of the info in the beginning of the book can be found on the website, the recipes really are delicious. They're not intimidatingly difficult, as several of the paleo books I've bought are. Most ingredients are common and easy to find. I still recommend It Starts With Food, but if you're only in it for weight loss, this book might be where to start. It Starts With Food is more of the "why" behind all of the rules. It helped me during my first Whole30 many times. Mainly because of all the questions I got--like "Isn't corn a vegetable??" and "Oh, one piece/glass/taste won't hurt you, will it??" I'm the type of person that needs to know the why or I might buy into a little cheat every now & then. My husband, on the other hand is not like me. He hasn't read either book & doesn't plan on it. Lol He just relies on me & what I tell him. So, I guess it depends on you, but if you want a good book with the Whole30 rules & resources & delicious recipes that are doable by anyone, this is a perfect place to get started. Best of luck on your journey!
