Simple blog for folks who are doing the Whole30 to hold each other accountable, share experiences, ask questions, and look back on when we do it again next year!
I have to be honest... I did finish the 30 days... but after "the wheels came off" I did begin to allow myself to have a glass of wine with dinner and I slipped a few other times too. I kind of went back to my normal, which is "90% paleo"..... I justified this because I felt like the lessons I wanted to learn, I learned. Now I kind of regret it and wish I would have stuck it out the last 5 days better... but the way I eat normally is, for me, sustainable. I do eat very little added sugar, little grains/starches, and little dairy, and moderate alcohol. But I do allow myself to indulge in all.. just very little. For the past 5 or 6 days since "the wheels came off" on day 26... I have been indulging even less than before.. and so far no ill effects. I want to be really close to 90-95% compliant on a regular basis.

ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to try to maintain a high % of compliance too. This has been a really interesting challenge. I'm glad you recommended it.
