Went from 136 to 128 (I’m 5’3” for reference.) Allowed myself some concessions the next few months. I did notice that dairy makes my joints inflamed.

That’s what I lost the first time - 8lbs. Interesting about the dairy. I messed up the reintroduction phase the first round but want to do it right this time. I bet a lot of people with plantar fasciitis and random joint pain would get relief from this plan.

Day 14 update: feeling great. Big changes so far: abs are almost totally flat (any water weight, bloating - no more). Minimal craving for junk food even as I watch people eat pizza, tacos, chips. And I LOVE that stuff. Not missing the margaritas or alcoholic seltzers I used to love. Fruit tastes like candy now.

Needing less sleep. Waking up about an hour and a half before normal, ready to go. I read a quote from a Whole30er’s blog “I became the very best version of myself”. This thing is restrictive but it’s the same stuff we would eat if we didn’t have access to processed stuff. It’s basically just removing non-food from your diet.
