Part 1

welcome to the whole30

“To say that the Whole30 is life changing would be an understatement. Following the Whole30 has allowed me to take control of my health and that has spilled over to all parts of my life. Of course there are physical changes: definite weight loss, an increase in strength and stamina, and just generally feeling more comfortable in my skin. More important, I’ve had severe anxiety and panic attacks that came out of nowhere, bordering on agoraphobia. All of that is gone. The mental attitude that I currently have is priceless. I’m naturally, optimistically calm and happy. I still have bad days, but I deal with it so much better. I honestly do not see myself going back to any bad foods that I used to eat. I’m having fun cooking for myself and feel like I’ve uncovered a new side of myself that has been hiding: a new, happy, optimistic, energetic, and innovative side.”
