I just finished a round of Whole30. I'm not following it completely now but it definitely helped me to break my sugar addiction and get a handle on my emotional eating. I went down almost an entire pant size but I won't know how much weight I lost until I get to my parents' house this week & use their scale.
I'm incorporating more vegetables into our meals by including them in the sauces I make, I'm making seasonings & sauces from scratch, and I'm snacking on fruit vs. junk food so I'm calling it a win! Dairy does not bother me so I am using that as an additional protein source.
It helped my husband to discover that he feels better when he doesn't eat dairy (and he already has a gluten intolerance) so I'm doing my best to cook GF DF family meals (which is hard but manageable).
I don't like micromanaging my food by counting calories/points or measuring portions so eliminating entire food groups is definitely easier for my 'all or nothing' personality.
