I started my Whole 30 on January 5th. When I began, I honestly had no clue whether I would make it through the first week. However, this was a challenge that I had been wanting to do for over a year, and somehow I made it through. There were difficult times, but in the end I gained so much from the Whole 30. Here's my recap:
What I Gained:
- Increased energy levels
- Improved mood
- Better skin
- Feelings of control
- Stable blood glucose levels
- A great support network
- A new repertoire of delicious recipes
- A major feeling of accomplishment for achieving a long time goal
What I Lost:
- Cravings for sugary, processed, and unhealthy food
- 5 pounds
- 2% body fat
- Inflammation
- Sugar crashes
- Brain fog
- Drowsiness and lethargy
- Feelings of inadequacy, failure, and insecurity
The "non-scale" victories alone made this journey worth it!
