"Whole9’s original program designed to change your life in 30 days. Think of it as a short-term nutritional reset, designed to help you restore a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, calm systemic inflammation and put an end to unhealthy cravings, habits, and relationships with food. Since 2009, thousands of people have used our program as a jump-start to changing the way they eat for the rest of their lives." (http://whole9life.com/category/whole-30/)
I found this nutrition plan through my Crossfit Gym (www.crossfitarsenal.com), and I thought it sounded interesting. I've been diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance, Depression, and Fibromyalgia. I also get regular migraines which can be debilitating. I constantly have stomach pains, popping feelings in my gut, and extreme fatigue and lack of motivation. I bought this book (It Starts With Food) on Amazon for around $18, at the suggestion of my trainer at the Gym. The main point of this book is that most diseases and conditions are caused by a lack of nutrition an lifelong poor eating habits. Dallas and Melissa (the authors) are out to change that! These following 30 days my boyfriend and I will follow this nutrition plan, cook the recipes supplied in the book, and reset my body. I'll be tracking my progress here, and hopefully inspire you to look into this new way of eating and living.
In the book, they tell you once you start your Whole30 program, you're not to step on the scale, AT ALL. Well, I'll do it the first day, in the middle, and at the end of the program, just to see how I'm doing. Starting weight: 142 (not excited about that...)
Day 1:
8:30am Breakfast: 4 eggs, half a tomato, 1/2 cup of spinach leaves, salt and pepper, cooked in a skillet with 2 Tbsp of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil). Also a handful of raspberries to curb my sugar craving.
1:00pm Lunch: Ground beef, half a tomato, half a green pepper, 1/8 tsp paprika, salt and pepper, 1 large head of broccoli, cooked in a skillet with 2 Tbsp of EVOO. 1 cup mixed raspberries and strawberries.
By lunch time, I could tell I was getting hungry, my stomach was just starting to gurgle, but I wasn't famished from breakfast like I normally am.
9:00pm Dinner: Chicken breast, seasoned with organic balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes in oil, salt and pepper, and basil. Side of steamed asparagus topped with melted clarified butter. By dinner I was pretty hungry, maybe I won't wait so long to eat next time...ha! Dinner left me full, but not stuffed, which, if you read the book, they say is a good thing!

I'm excited about this nutrition plan. Not only will I eat better, but I learn how to cook delicious meals. It's easy! Thanks for taking this journey with me! I hope that I can inspire you to change your life, not just for 30 days, but for the rest of your life! Feel free to leave your comments and questions! :]
