i tried that
the whole thirty
What is the deal with everyone trying this whole thirty diet you ask? Well, I did some *ahem* googling and here is what I tried.
Ok, so this isn't a comprehensive list or anything like that and it isn't any kind of weight loss or medical advice. Actually, this is just information I gathered when collecting information for myself. And for full disclosure, I didn't succeed in this venture. It lasted all of 4 days, but hey, I tried it.
This is what you can eat:
- Veggies - including potatoes
- Fruit - even bananas
- Seafood - fish, oysters, shrimp, mussels
- Unprocessed meats - chicken, beef, and pork
- Eggs
- Nuts and seeds
- Olive oil and coconut oil
- Black coffee - {sad face}
And this is what you cannot eat:
- Fried potatoes - really anything fried
- Additives - like MSG or sulfites (from hotdogs and such)
- Any added sugar
- Dairy
- Grain - corn, wheat rice
- Pasta
- Bread
- Dairy
- Alcohol
The thing about The Whole Thirty is commitment. And I don't know about you, but there is dairy in everything I eat. Either that or I just really like the things that are off limits. In reality July was the wrong month to start something like this. I mean isn't it like the law that you have to eat hot dogs on the 4th of July? I think this is something that could work. But the trick with this is preparation. And I did not prepare.
Have you ever followed an eating plan? Tell me about it. Are there any eating plans that have been great for you? Because I might try that.
