![]() And if you don’t have the money to buy the book right now, or you’re unsure if you really want to do The W30, check the book out from your local library – that’s what I did.ģ). ![]() It’s really really important to understand the how’s and why’s BEFORE you start because it will keep you from cheating and making exceptions. I read this book for 3 weeks before we started, and did tons of online research and studying as well. This is THE book written by the creators of The Whole 30 and explains everything that you need to know about it. No cheats, No slips, No excuses, No variations, No exceptions – for 30 days straight. And when I say “do” the Whole 30, I mean DO THE WHOLE 30. Sure, you can just go straight into a regular Paleo diet, and a lot of people can have amazing success with that, but for us, the strictness of the W30 stripped our eating down to the bare basics. We really attribute our long term-success to starting out with The Whole 30. Our top advice if you are thinking of eating Paleo:ġ). But now, after 5.5 months, it has gotten SO much easier. I give us FULL credit for doing it – there were days in the beginning that we wanted to quit and stuff our faces with every carb we could find. ![]() you.ĭon’t get me wrong – eating this way is not easy. It makes me wonder if people look at our success and think, “well if they can do it, so can I!” and to that I say, YES – that’s exactly right! If two people that ate pasta, rice, cheese, bread, cereal, butter, milk, ice cream, cookies, and donuts all the time can stop all of that and start eating healthy meats, fats, & tons of veggies – so.

The first photo taken in May was before we started eating Paleo. I put together this visual timeline of these past 5.5 months. Not sure why I feel that way, but I know that I need to get over it! I am really proud of us and really can’t believe that we have been able to stay committed to healthy eating for so long. I think I get afraid that people will think that I’m bragging or trying to make other people feel bad if they aren’t doing what I’m doing. I am happy to tell you (and a little in disbelief) that we have stuck with the eating plan since June, and have no current plans to stop eating Paleo! To be honest, I always get nervous talking about this kind of stuff on my blog, because it’s just very personal. We both lost weight, gained energy, and felt so great, that we decided to continue eating the Paleo diet after the initial 30 days. I told you that Tristan and I both did The Whole 30 (a strict form of the Paleo diet) this summer and we had such a great experience with it. in Food, Inspiration, Paleo, The Whole 30.
