[quote=Anonymous]OP with an update.

I'm pretty impressed so far. The last time I tried Whole30 was 10ish years ago, when they didn't allow potatoes. Now with potatoes, I'm finding it pretty easy. My meals are meat, sweet or regular potatoes, a veggie, and a fruit.

I'm on Day 5 and can tell I've lost a ton of water weight. My clothes are all much loser, and I don't feel the usual bloat in my body. I used to only be able to get my pre-pregnancy pants up to my knees, and now I can get them to my upper thighs.

I don't have any cravings. Zero temptation to eat my kid's Halloween candy, when I normally would have eaten most of it by now. I had a sweet potato last night and it actually tasted almost too sweet for me, so I guess my taste buds are adjusting to less sugar.

I'm rarely hungry anymore, when I used to be ravenous most of the time. I'm realizing a lot of my hunger was really just cravings. I've always needed a large breakfast and multiple snacks, but now I find myself not being hungry until 11/12, and then not again until 7/8pm. When I want to snack, it's usually out of boredom, not true hunger, and I go find something else to do.

I gave up coffee creamer and WOW. I had forgotten what coffee actually tasted like, I was so used to dumping in tons of creamer and sugar. Now I really appreciate how good coffee is.

I get that it's too restrictive for many people, but I've come to realize that I truly can't control myself once junk foods enter the picture. Once I start eating them, I can't stop. Cutting them out completely has made me feel more in control of my cravings so far. And I don't particularly like most grains or beans, so those are easy to not eat very much of. [/quote]
