Is anyone doing or has done this program?
I am on day 3. Figure since I don't have a life right now, why not. Plus, I want to be healthier and of course lose weight...have been working out for a month and haven't lost any.
It is pretty intense but I am committed.
Anyway, if you have current or past firsthand knowledge as a participant, I would love to hear from you.

I finished it ! I am not going to lie - it is NOT easy. But I have become better than ever at reading labels and evaluating everything that passes my lips. It has helped me to enact some real changes.
The first few days are definitely not easy - especially withdrawing completely from sugar in all forms. It may take 2-3 weeks to really feel better. Hang in there and I am always here for support! I may do it again after the first of the year.
It helps that you like to cook - once I learned the program basics I could create new things. There is also a large support community on Facebook and instagram, also Pinterest - with recipes.

On day 7, feeling more energy than I have in a while but am also withdrawing heavily from the multitude of delicious savory treats I no longer indulge in. I drink coffee black so that was no issue, am craving burgers today like I haven't had one in a year. The corn was a lot easier to remove than I assumed, 5 time a day habit cut cold. I fucking miss flour. Sprinkles cupcakes, either the vanilla or seasalt caramel. French fries. Holy shit, I started walking and jogging again just to shut my lizard brain up. 30 days will be easy, without question, but it will be one of the harder things I've done recently as well.
Also, member cheese? I'm pretty sure I'm lactose intolerant.
This has been the one thing that has deterred me. I know - ridiculous. Alcohol, sweets, burgers etc - all easy. but cheese? I just dont know
Starting the third week today, feeling more energetic and less weighed down than I have in quite a while. The reality is there are options left open by things like ghee, and olives, which seem to help curb the now occasional urge. Christmas party Friday was at a high end pizza parlor, everyone was about 9 cocktails and 5 slices in and I maintained the ship with a nice big ass salad and a few bucks stuffed in my waitors pocket so they would remember to keep my water full. Surprisingly, you are at the bottom of the refill food chain when you're drinkingg water and the other 11 folks are drinking vodka tonics.
Hard boiled eggs. Cucumber with lemon. Almonds. OLIVES! This reset has been just that, and it feels good!

Tainted Opossum Did you complete all 30 days? Or are you on your last week now?
I'm going to start my own Whole30 on January 2nd. My physical therapist thinks I may have rheumatoid arthritis. I've read that Whole30 may clear up inflammation and help you discover what foods may trigger inflammation. I'm way to young to be taking arthritis meds, so I'm hoping this helps. Anyone else experience joint pain relief on Whole30?

I am in my final eight days, though the intent is to take a 14 day to 1 approach after that. It is the hardest and easiest thing you'll ever do. While I haven't experienced physical relief to a notable extent, I have experienced much deeper sleep and lower blood pressure. I cant belive how this has benefited me, and encourage you to give it a shot.

What exactly do you mean by "a 14 day to 1 approach"?

Well I don't think whole30 necessarily addresses long term solutions to a lifestyle change. A 14 day to 1 approach after completing it means 14 days back on, then 1 day off to have things like whole grains and yogurt. I think it will be an appropriate balance, but really won't know til I've done it for a while.

I'm starting Whole30 on January 2. So this is encouraging. Really curious to see how I react to no dairy, bread, sugar and alcohol. This is encouraging though.

Sure, there's no way I could possibly adapt Whole30 into every day for the rest of my life, so that makes sense. Nor do I think it's healthy for anyone to restrict their diet that much for the long term.
I'm mainly doing Whole30 to see if there's a food group that triggers my joint inflammation. My plan is to do the thirty days, then reintroduce food groups one at a time for 3-4 days each to see if I can pinpoint that specific trigger food. And then try to cut that group out as much as possible.

The two hardest ones for me will be sugar and alcohol. I am going to miss my IPAs terribly...

Well, I did it! All 30 days, not one slip up. And now that it's day 31, I don't really even want to turn back to eating "normally." I lost 9.5 lbs, but more importantly, I sleep amazingly, I am in a better overall mood and state of mind, and I feel really good about the way my body looks and feels. Unfortunately, it didn't help with the joint pain issues I'm having, but I still consider this a major success.
Today I've continued my Whole30 eating, but I do plan on having a drink or two tonight when I go see Dawes at The Pageant.
I'll reintroduce food groups one at a time over the next two weeks, but I really enjoyed eating this way and will probably use this as the base of my standard diet from now on. But allow myself the chance to go out to a restaurant or bar every once and a while.
