Day 15 of 30 - Diet Update

Tweet

Some of you know I've been on a diet called Whole30. It's a pretty common sense diet. I'm not buying anyone's food, stepping on a scale, though I would like to, or doing anything crazy to lose weight. There is a list of rules about what to cut out of your diet for 30 days. There is also a grocery list that has three categories - Best, Better, Good - for the different foods listed. So armed with the grocery list I have been faithfully following the Best list. I had my friend take a before picture of me, and she will take the after picture in two weeks. So what will the after picture show? I can tell you that after 15 days, I'm feeling great! My headaches that I was plagued with almost daily are greatly diminished. I have more energy, and my clothes are starting to feel loose. Even my swimsuit feels like it could be a size too big right now. It might not look like a big difference in the first after picture, but it won't be the last picture, as I aim to continue this diet until I've met my goal. I can't step on the scale or do any body measurements for the 30 days, and that's the only thing I really want to do, to see the results. This is the most patient about anything I've been in a very long time. I did weigh myself on the first day so I would know the results on day 30, which is September 6. Foods I'm eating: eggs for breakfast along with fresh fruit, or if I'm out, frozen. I have turkey legs, hamburgers - no bread allowed, so I eat those plain. I have zucchini, summer squash, green beans, onions, broccoli, tomatoes, fish - cod, salmon, tilapia. Fruits on the best list are strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, melon, not watermelon, apricots, plums, pineapple. Also avocados. Instead of butter I use extra virgin olive oil. There are more foods on the best list, but these are what I like. I probably left some out. I also drink a lot of water. So my next update will be on day 30. Thanks for reading.
