TESTIMONIAL -Scott B.

After completing the Whole 30, one word comes to mind, PROOF . I say proof because the results I had, showed me what happens to our bodies when we put the right things into it. This was the first time I’ve ever fully taken one of these plans/diets seriously. Going into it, my biggest concern was being hungry. I’m a very picky eater, when I say that, think of the pickiest eater you know, then realize I’m much worse than them. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected. Days 11-13 was the toughest for some reason, I couldn’t seem to get full those days but other than those days it wasn’t that big of an issue. I did branch out and try a couple foods I never would’ve tried before, some I liked and will continue to eat, but it did make me attempt them at least.

After the first 5 or 6 days I immediately started feeling a change in my body, mainly my stomach. The bloating was going away pretty quickly which also gave me the encouragement to keep at it. I really enjoyed finding the approved items that would help us replicate some dishes we liked previously, just making it the right way, a healthy way. I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about the Whole 30, if you stick to it, you will see results . I plan to still stay as close to it as I can and keep trying to get my body the best it can be. I did work out nearly every single day of the program so that helped with my results I’m sure.
