A New Adventure with Food!

Hello all!

 It has been a long time since my last post. I wanted to update you all on my journey with food and health.

I heard about the Whole30 program in April 2015. I decided to give it a try because I was having trouble staying away from dairy. I also felt that grains have contributed to me developing hyperinsulinmea.

I began my 30 days of grain free, sugar free, and dairy free in May. I completed the Whole30 program and decided to maintain this program indefinately.

So far, I have lost 9 pounds. My skin has cleared up and I can focus better. Please take a look at the program. I do not call it a diet because it is a way of living.

The key to this program is: Planning, Planning, Planning.
Before you start, print off the grocery list that the website provides. Find recipes and print them off. Go to the store and get ingredients.  Use your evenings or weekends to make food for the following week.

Many Whole30 recipes can also be found on Paleo recipe websites. 

Here are websites where I found Whole30 approved recipes.
