What are the daily/monthly threads?

I am currently to overweight and start following a keto diet from last month. I morning I just eat some socked seeds and dry fruits and curd and Barrie's and doesn't have any issue with it. But issues starts at night in starting I use to to properly cook green vegetables in little oil, with boiled eggs and it causes me deahrea. Now, I am cooking green vegetables in steam with omelate or boiled eggs and a avocado, after having dinner now I have stomach ache from last couple of days by.

It’s been three years since R2. A couple thoughts/observations:

• Did it with my wife. MUCH easier when we are both doing it
• It’s easier to find compliant food than last time (especially condiments and sugar free bacon which seems like is available every now). Then again, maybe we’re just getting the hang of it
• Also getting better at ‘making meals up’ with compliant ingredients. Best this time was seared scallops in almond cream with sugar-free bacon bits
• Still eating way too many eggs. Love them, but need to find more breakfast options
• things I miss most/craved: teriyaki chicken, halloween candy, Metamucil, bbq sauce
• I have gout (since after R2) and was worried Whole 30 would trigger a flare-up with the weight loss. It didn’t (I’m on Allo)
• Today feels like Christmas Eve!

I am not doing exactly whole 30 but had an insanely bad acne flare up I’m trying to heal. I cut out sugar, dairy, gluten, eggs. Trying to moderate carbs that will cause a blood sugar spike especially since this seems hormone related.

So far I’ve done ground meat, steak, protein etc. with lots of veggies. Or unsweetened chia pudding with coconut yogurt and berries. Are these pretty much my options? It’s depressing lol.

I’m only in 5 days but I’m already thinking of my reintroduction plan/process. Is 1 day truly enough time to know how your body reacts to the food you have introduced?

Hi, not sure why it has taken me so long to do another W30 but here I am. Wondering if anything has changed?

The basics I remember are no dairy, no sugar, no legumes. I ate a lot of eggs, meat, veggies and fruit.

Anything I’m forgetting? Any tips? THANK YOU!

Hey everyone! I’m working on improving my gut health and just started a Whole30 round, but grocery shopping has been more challenging than I expected. I’d love to hear how others make it easier to find compliant, gut-friendly foods!

• What ingredients or labels do you look for (or avoid) to keep things easy on your gut?
• Are there any tools, tricks, or methods that help streamline your shopping or meal prep?

Thanks in advance for sharing your tips! I’m excited to get more ideas to make this Whole30 journey as smooth as possible.

I am new to Whole 30. I’m on my first round, day 12. I started this journey because my doctor recommended it to see if it would help with GI issues (mostly bloating.) I’m still confused about the new oil rule. I bought roasted cashews from Costco, but saw they use peanut oil. Since the rules about oils have been updated as of July of this year, would these cashews be compliant now? Thanks!!

Today is day 16 of round one and I feel pretty good.

I also feel like I’m becoming an expert on reading labels. I don’t think I’ve ever read labels as much as I am right now.

I was rooting around in my freezer looking for something for lunch to go with my leftover steak from dinner last night. I came across some zucchini fritters. Everything looks good until I read soybean oil. Guess this one will have to wait.

I was afraid I would get overwhelmed with food and just start eating the same thing every single day just because I knew it was compliant but I’ve actually tried to be more adventurous and make different types of food. I’ve made beef stew, beef and broccoli stir fry, hamburger patties, chicken and steaks.

I just have to keep remembering this is only for 30 days and anybody can do anything for 30 days. I may decide to do another round when this one is over because I actually feel pretty good.

I checked all but can’t find anything about E numbers. But the website says only two additives are not allowed (not this E-number) So assume compliant?

Hi everyone :)

Gosh…I feel like I’ve failed yet again. I did whole30 last summer and I felt amazing.

I didn’t do the reintroduction part though—which in the long run I really wish I did.

This past year I’ve started and re-started whole30 so many times. I’ve only gotten 3 days in each time before quitting. And it’s just made me feel so bad about my self and upset that I can’t have self control.

I’m giving it another shot tomorrow. I cleaned out my fridge and threw away everything that wasn’t whole30 compliant.

I guess I’m wondering if anyone has any advice. When you got the urge to go off program-how did you not do it? Thanks :)

Kind of disappointed, I should be in my tiger blood week but to be honest this week has been kind of a drag.

Just a little background: My husband and I were already generally pretty healthy, decided to give whole 30 a shot as a reset before we go on vacation next month. We had let some bad habits sneak up on us - mostly excessive snacking and alcohol consumption. We were very lazy in the kitchen.

Things have been going good so far. I can tell I’m down a few pounds and was feeling great for a while but now the spark is starting to fizzle. The food we’re cooking is delicious, and I’m not tempted to turn to junk or anything like that. Just feeling generally blah. Tell me it gets better again!

Hello whole 30 family. I’m on my ninth day, and I decided to do whole thirty to try and figure out my extreme IBS-C symptoms I’ve had all my life. I’m 28. Female. 113 lbs.

I’ve been very strict with following whole 30, and while my energy today feels better, my bloating and gas has NEVER been this bad so consistently. I am used to looking pregnant with bloating, but this bloat is PAINFUL and it hurts to even sleep.

Has anyone gone through this? Does anyone have advice? I feel like I’m at the end of my rope here. I will see the whole 30 through but I’m unsure as to what the best course of action is.

Thanks y’all.

R3D9-12. Wildly emotional/teary. Food/cravings wise I’m doing just fine. I don’t remember this from past rounds. Anyone else? 😖

On a positive note, went out to eat twice this week and managed to stay W30. I even had margaritas in front of me (my fave), and not even a sip! The ultimate test haha

I’ve been eating Rao’s (which is delicious but pricey IMO) but came across no sugar added Kroger brand today. Haven’t tried it yet but happy about the price.

Got me thinking. Is there anything else like this I’m missing out on? Stuff I’ve been paying more for when there are compatible generic brands?

I’m planning to start W30 Monday.

Note: I’m in the UK.

The following week I’m going to a conference and staying in a hotel.

The hotel offer breakfast but there will be nothing w30 approved apart from fruit. The conference offer lunch but again won’t be anything w30 but fruit.

I will have a mini fridge at the hotel and a kettle. I can also take a little coffee whisk (for blending protein powder). Assume no microwave access.

Questions. What ideas for breakfast and lunch?

I’m thinking I’ll be okay for dinner and could order extra for breakfast or lunch too if needed. I’d like to take some food with though but can’t really prepare much and can’t cook.

More info: Can’t eat eggs Will not eat reheated meat (even if I could) so cold options only. Will not cook a steak on an iron.

My very unaesthetic but delicious breakfast! Pumpkin blended with 2 dates, almond butter, flax, pecans! Needed a break from eggs today😁

Hello fellow W30’s … Any advice on how to tune into your true hunger cues? I’m finding myself wanting fruit at weird times late at night now. I’m trying to break the habit of eating late at night, but was curious if anyone has thoughts/advice on how to do this so that it sticks? Cheers.

F26/5’6” Started at 214lbs, weighed in at 204lbs this morning! I can’t say enough great things about this program. While the victory on the scale feels amazing, what’s more amazing is how my mindset has changed about food. Even though I may have missed or craved sweet treats or fried foods during the last month, I’m certainly not rushing to add those foods back in nor do I want to. My food noise was so bad, and I felt like I couldn’t conquer it before Whole30. I feel SO much better and I feel confident in my ability make better choices in my diet. I’m so excited to take what I’ve learned from this challenge and apply it to my everyday life moving forward. My advice to those who may be struggling: just keep going!!! The month will fly by and you will love the results! It is so worth it!

Also, I’m excited to see how reintroduction goes. I mainly started Whole30 to kick my sugar addiction, but I’m curious to see if any other food groups affect me negatively. Overall: I ❤️ Whole30! 😁

I am R1D6 and yesterday I had zero energy, had a headache, my head was in a fog and I was not hungry at all. I was beginning to wonder if I was getting sick because I was just not feeling right. I went to sleep early and when I woke up I was feeling fine. Either it was a quick little bug that came and went or maybe my body was just mad because it has not had all the wonderful junk foods that I am used to eating.

Today I feel pretty good but I still don't have a huge appetite which is wonderful for me since I normally graze (snack) all day long when I am working.

I am so glad I started a round of Whole 30. It is like as if my appetite and eating habits are being reset!! Oh and my blood sugar has better too.

I'm halfway done with whole 30 and generally feeling good! Aside from some mild digestion issues during the first week.....and of course many many cravings...I haven't had any strange side effects. However, ever since I woke up this morning, my joints have been a tad sore and haven't stopped cracking all day. Ankles, knees, wrists, elbows, shoulders--they're all making noise! ha. Has this happened to anyone else?
