As promised. we've got your back! No need to look any further for great Whole30 compliant recipes to get your first-week kick-started. These recipes are tried and true with a twist or two of our own and family approved. Even for those members of your family or friends who aren't on the Whole30 program, they will enjoy these recipes.
To prepare, you must first do your homework as far as shopping goes. Preparing a list will help you purchase everything you need to get your first week started and give you staples to use for the 30 days of Whole30.
Throughout this process and lifestyle change, we were more aware of the labeling and artificial ingredients choosing to follow the Whole30 strictly as instructed. Our goal, as is your goal. is to figure out your body's triggers and what makes a difference in a healthier you.
As with any lifestyle change, always consult your doctor or health care professional to see what is best for you. We do not profess in any way to be a nutritionist or medical professionals but wanted to blog and share our success with the Whole30. Always, always use sound judgment and listen to your body as far as how you feel. We, in no way, were compensated by Whole30 for any of these blogs or recipes.
We've used our trusted fellow Internet bloggers and created our own recipes to help you along to give you flavorful, eye-appealing recipes that will not make you feel like you are missing out on anything. You will feel full and have meals that are filling and delicious!
As we said in the first post since New Year's Day is a traditional day off of work, start Whole30 on Tuesday, January the 2nd when you start back to work, or if you are an educator, on your first day back after your holiday break. Beginning the program in this manner helps with the mentality of new year, new you...and hopefully you'll have fellow family, friends, and co-workers on the Whole30 with you as well.
So, to get started, do your grocery shopping in the store and online. Natural Grocers was a huge help in our local area and Amazon online helped with the non-dairy creamer Nutpods and our Lara Bars for snacks and an occasional lunch if I was on the run.
Do meal prep. It really was the key to our success during the Whole30. Make your meals times two at times if you and store in Gladware containers to have ready to go in your refrigerator. Pack your lunch each day for work, along with snacks and your water bottle. I drank unsweet tea like a madwoman each day. As a southern girl there is nothing better than sweet tea in my estimation...but, I am now a little off that kick and can drink a good, tall glass of unsweet tea and actually like it.
Do drink lots of water and remember DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF FOR 30 DAYS! It's not about weight, but about HOW YOU FEEL! And we promise you, you will feel better and will lose some weight. We lost on average ten pounds each, but I can not promise that it will be the same for you. However, I hope you go above and beyond what we did.
Below an example of what a week's worth of recipes looked like for us. Use this as a guide to help map out your meals and prep for the week ahead. These are just meals for the week as we were traveling or out eating on the weekends. Just copy off the recipes and you'll have your shopping list ready to go!
Please note that two of us were doing the Whole30 together, so we split up the recipes among one another for the week. If you are doing this alone, you don't need to make as many meals.
