I am finished with the Whole 30 and lost exactly10 pounds in 30 days. I'm sure it was more midway through the program but I let my snacking habits creep back and eating a cupful of nuts and a half a bag of potato chips, while technically not in violation, was simply adding too many calories to my daily intake. Also I found little to order in restaurants and ended up having fries on the side of anything I ordered.

I took a day off yesterday and ate pretty sensibly but had my hamburger in a bun and a taste of aged cheese, a few crackers, a 16 oz. beer and a few glasses of sparkling wine. I managed to avoid sugar though, except for the small amount in the bun and crackers.

I'm back on it today for another 30 days and we'll see if I can tweak things a little to stay in compliance without gorging myself on what is allowed but foolish anyway.
