[quote=Anonymous]OP here...

I'm on D4 and already down 5 lbs which I assume is lack of bloating, but it's encouraging me to keep on!

I am a huge diet soda addict, and I expected major withdrawal, but it's really been fine so far.

The reason I haven't been able to lose weight despite trying for over a year is because I'm really bad at saying to just those few M&Ms or that little piece of candy my boss is offering me or that one slide of cheese at a work party... all those little things add up. For me, going the extreme route of just saying no 100% of the time may make the difference, I think. No, it's not going to be maintainable long-term, but if it helps get me on the right track, great!

As others have mentioned, my biggest struggle so far as been the time to plan and cook meals. And meal fatigue. I work full-time and have young children so meals need to be simple. There are a lot of great Whole 30 recipes out there but ones that require easy to find ingredients and limited time? Not as many. And plain fruits, veggies and meats are getting tiring even after just four days.

But... I really am going to try to make it the whole 30 days. I've been shocked to learn that foods I thought were healthy (deli meats for instance) actually have loads of added sugar, etc. This is a good education for me about true healthy eating.[/quote]
