After much thought, I decided not to try that highly restrictive elimination diet prescribed by the naturopath. It's just too intense for me. Also, I already eat all of the things on the "include" list and very little of the things on the "avoid" list, and think my diet is healthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed/page/2#post-1502854 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 08:43:04 +0000 anne 1502854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, have you found the wine&nbsp; re-introduction&nbsp; has gone well? And have you tried introducing anything else?</p> <p>Thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm glad it had such a good effect on your symptoms and health.</p> <p>I continue to find the Whole30 fascinating, though not to the point of actually doing it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed/page/2#post-1501780 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 15:21:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1501780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck to anyone who decides to undertake the Whole 30 challenge. Remember - it is restrictive but it's only 30 days!</p> <p>I would like to strongly note that I am not in any way promoting the Whole 30 challenge for anyone else - if you should choose to try it, I wish you luck. But I don't want to be seen as recommending it. I'm strictly relaying my experience with it as a matter of information and interest to those who were curious. And I took on the challenge as it was recommended by my endocrinologist as a way to re-start my body (so to speak) and see if different food groups were affecting me health-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed/page/2#post-1501667 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:42:39 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1501667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been debating since you first posted about the Whole 30 program and ordered the book this morning with a planned start date of June 13th. &nbsp;Tony is going to join me for the 30 days. &nbsp;I find it very interesting that the issues I have been experiencing mirror your almost exactly: &nbsp;interrupted sleep, sinus headaches, joint ache/swelling and a few others. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am a bit worried about how restrictive the program is but I did 4 months with no carbs so I am hoping I can make it work. &nbsp;I figure I am giving up dairy but adding in some fruit so it should be a wash. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed/page/2#post-1501317 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 16:34:23 +0000 Gail 1501317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful outcome for you.

I actually researched and started the Whole30 after reading your posts and am on day 12. I didn't have any major health issues to start with (that I am aware of), but I have had an ongoing relationship with sugar that I've been meaning to address for a long time. Thanks again for sharing your experiences. Very inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed#post-1499865 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 03:32:37 +0000 Jaime 1499865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Shannon! Just wow.

This was different for me because I approached it for health reasons not vanity reasons. And somehow that made it more possible to stick to, if that makes sense. I won't lie though and say that I'm not pleased to have dropped some weight </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed#post-1499762 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 00:39:18 +0000 Windchime 1499762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are amazing results, Shannon! One couldn't ask for a better outcome. I wasn't going to try Whole30, but reading your report has me reconsidering. You must be beyond thrilled with your health improvements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed#post-1499757 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 23:47:21 +0000 Anonymous 1499757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just gone back and read your earlier posts on this. For some reason I completely missed all 3. I am totally pumped to give this a go. Sinus issues, sleepless nights, a bad (insert swear words here) knee , and extra weight - all are what I need to address. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed#post-1499755 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 23:42:23 +0000 Anonymous 1499755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - that is SO exciting! &nbsp;And really important in the big picture, isn't it? &nbsp;I find it truly amazing to hear success stories like this, as too many of these plans and programs are good until it's over (*cough* Carter, *cough*) . &nbsp;But to stabilize your health and lose weight, and - allergies and inflammation? &nbsp;Ok, I'm in. Where do I start? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whole-30---completed#post-1499728 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 22:48:46 +0000 pil 1499728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats to you, Shannon, this is wonderful.
