The Whole30

I was looking for a new book to read and stumbled across It Starts With Food, which describes the Whole30 plan (short version = elimination diet getting rid of everything but meats/seafood/eggs, vegetables, fruits, and oils/nuts). My husband and I decided to try it for 30 days, and so far it has been fairly easy except for the sweets cravings. I miss sugar, chocolate, and Diet Coke so badly. And a little cheese and rice would be nice to have every now and then, but otherwise it's not so bad.

Really didn't experience any major side effects and have been drinking green tea when I need caffeine. Down a few pounds and workouts seem to be going better--so far, so good!
