So, when I started this journey I was not expecting to lose weight. I am already thin and petite. This was not about weight loss for me, it was about adopting a more healthy lifestyle and kicking my sugar addiction. I used to eat a sugary snack, and I'm talking a bag of m&m's, cookies, muffins, entenmann's cakes, pie, etc., at least twice a day. This was not aligned with the health I wanted to achieve. I have not touched or even had cravings for that stuff during this journey. I feel really great and know that my body functions much better without the highs and crashes.
I slipped up a few times accidentally. I ate baby corn, which really is the young version of corn! I only had two little pieces, but it was technically off plan. I also had soup with white potatoes and didn't even realize it until after the fact. Other than that, I was true to the plan.
It was not hard. The food I made was delicious and I looked forward to every meal. This is not a difficult way to eat. I think anyone can do this, and should! I highly recommend reading the book. It's called "It starts with food"...I guarantee it will at least make you think about how your food choices affect you.
Ok, on my final day, I ate:
Lunch: chicken vegetable soup
Dinner: pepper and onion chicken sausage, green beans with lemon and salt, mixed vegetables.
Thank you for reading and tracking my progress! I would love any feedback on this blog. I plan to post recipes that I used, and I will continue posting other approved meals that I recommend.
If you're on the fence about trying a whole 30, do it!!!
