The second time I did it I actually gained weight. It's possible I wasn't as strict but I truly tried to be, so it's hard to remember. One (big huge) downside is that ai believe the W30 messed up my metabolism, big time. As in, once I stopped the first time I immediately started gaining weight (no matter what I ate) and even after the second time (approx 5 months later, I continued to gain weight. I *think* it may have been adrenal fatigue, so healing my body with good fats has helped, but it took me almost 5 years to figure out why and how. For the longest time I couldn't lose weight no matter what I did. Now I know how my body does lose weight, but it's still a big bummer that the W30 gave such short lived results. I will say that I know lots of people who have done it and only a couple of us have had this reaction, so I pray you don't! <br /><br />I mostly eat sugar-free now and it is a game-changer. I fell off the wagon last week and boy can I tell a difference.

I think I would have been too prideful to admit the ugly, but I appreciate that you did it. And I'm amazed that you were able to do this at all when you're both working and school starting and everything! You're amazing, Colleen!<br /><br /> I've been tempted for several years now to do a Whole 30, partly to lose weight and partly because I really like the idea of having a dietary re-set and flooding my system with more veggies and whole foods. But I haven't actually pulled the trigger for lots of various reasons. I was going to do it for Lent a couple of years ago, but right before Lent began I realized it would make me obsessive about food in an unhealthy way. My initial thinking was it's so extreme, it's penitential, right? But then a little voice stopped me and told me it wouldn't be the right thing for that Lent. Turns out God had a different Lent in store for me that year because I ended up with a surprise pregnancy and miscarriage. Anyway, what's stopping me now is I really don't like extreme mentalities and ideologies about food. It seems like everybody I know cutting out some food group and I'm so not into it. In fact, I'm on a personal quest to prove to myself that I can be healthy and fit and not cut out dairy, or gluten or, [fill in the blank]. I've done a few week long fasts from certain things, alcohol, sugar, etc., but mostly I'm aiming for moderation. So, as much as I'd love to lose 15 pounds (in a month!) like you did, Colleen, I think I'll stick to my game plan for now. :) Ellen Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282413486073228102noreply@blogger.com
