Why Whole30?

February 8, 2014 By Becky 6 Comments

During my Whole30, a lot of people mentioned to me that they thought it was a really great idea, and that they’d love to do it themselves . . . BUT they didn’t have the willpower, wouldn’t be able to give up cheese, couldn’t drink coffee without milk, were way too addicted to sugar, etc.

That’s interesting, because I think all of those are reasons that people SHOULD do a Whole30!  A month without cheese?  Sure, a tough concept for some, but in the grand scheme of things, infinitely doable.  Coffee?  I’m a former latte-lover who always used to drink a big mug of half milk, half coffee, and I discovered I like mine better bulletproof (with coconut oil + ghee).  You never know until you try it!  And sugar addicts?  This program is FOR YOU, I promise.  If you think you can’t “slay the sugar dragon”, think again.  You can do it, and you’ll feel better, lose more weight, have more energy, and fuel your body more efficiently when you do.  Plus, why not prove to yourself that you CAN go without these things if you set your mind to it?  It feels great to show yourself what you can do.
