Hello Everyone!
Happy Humpday! I hope you are all doing well!
Today I wanted to discuss my experience doing whole 30. Did the whole 30 cleansing phase open my eyes to anything? Please note that this is not a review post. Would you comment
First of all, FINALLY I FINISHED WHOLE 30!!!!
Before starting Whole 30 I already knew that I wasn't the healthiest I had been in about a year.
When starting Whole 30 my goal was to work out 4 to 5 days a week consistently, which was a success I must say! As well of course, completing the whole 30!
What was the Purpose
With whole 30 I wanted to get my health on track again. Prior to whole 30 I was pretty depressed and wasn't really taking care of myself physically or emotionally. I found myself drinking 4 or 5 days a week. Prior to being depressed I was drinking maybe once every other week. On top of that eating take out a few times a week. Compared to when I would only eat out on Date night, which was usually once a week.
Pretty much needed somewhat of a healthy guide to jump start how I should be eating.
What were the general guidelines of whole 30?
- Dont drink (alcohol)
- No Sugar
- No Legumes
- LOTS of veggies! Veggies with every meal, even breakfast!
- generous amount of fruit
- No grains
If I listed out all the rules we would be here all day! But really, there are not that many rules!
Conclusion
My overall experience was good! I enjoyed the opportunity to hit the reset button when it came to eating again! One thing I have noticed before doing the introductory phase was eliminating rice. I replaced rice in my diet with potatoes and found that It was better for my body. I feel not as heavy when just eating potatoes for a good carb source.
One thing that I forgot to do when doing whole 30 was to take body measurements but oh well! I did lose 3 pounds but that was not my overall goal with the program. Three pounds might not seem as a lot but I have been lifting weights pretty heavily.
On top of that, I am 76" tall or 6'4" and weigh 253 Pounds.
What's Next?
EAT EVERYTHING I COULDN'T Before!!!!
NO, I wish but, I am following Whole 30 still, which consists of an introductory phase. Here I will be slowly consuming things that I cut out of my diet for 30 days.
Day 1 is suppose to be Alcohol but I dont plan on having a drink for at least another week or so.
Let me know if you have any whole 30 questions I would be happy answer any questions you might have!
Thank you everyone for taking the time to be here and reading this post today!
Cheers,
Albert
