Has anyone gone on the Whole30 eating plan, after reaching your goal? Just wondered if we can do without ALL dairy?

You can definitely go without dairy. Lots of people become lactose intolerant and cannot do dairy after surgery.

I haven't done it, nor have I reached goal, but I don't know any reason you couldn't do it as long as you are able to get in all of your protein and fluids.

I just started whole 30 last week. I am not tracking Protein and do not miss dairy. I feel great and I lost 8 lbs in two weeks. I have been stalled for 6 months. I'll update when the 30 days are over but so far I am loving it.

Great!

Any particular reason you have chosen not to track your protein? How do you know whether or not you are getting enough if you don't track?

I am 2 years out from my surgery and was no longer tracking anyway. My blood work is normal and I feel good so I don't worry about it. Plus with the whole 30 you are not tracking anything. You don't count calories or even weigh yourself. The program is focused on eating healthy whole foods and breaking bad habits.

Great. As long as you are happy with your results. I just know I would rather KNOW I am getting enough protein than to guess.

Any tips?? Starting on Monday. Do you know if you can use mint? Herbal teas? I know you can't use sweetener natural or artificial.

Hey! I started my third round of Whole30 last Monday. I am already at goal. My first W30 I was still in the losing phase and I lost 10 lbs in 30 days. I have been at goal for about four months. Giving up dairy was much easier than I thought it would be. Avocado is my favorite now.

Oh yeah. I forgot to answer your questions. Yes to mint. Be careful your herbal tea is only herbs and doesn't add soy lecithin (you'd be surprised). Most of Celestial Seasoning teas are safe.

Thank you for the tips!! I'm excited and I need to lose 15 more pounds. I already love avocados. I'm going to miss my coffee creamer and cheese.

Have done whole 30 in the past. During the summer was awesome. CSA!!!!! Oh the things I was eating. Yum and fresh.

I am only a few days post Opp so am going to stick to doc guidelines for a while. Once I know where I am at with portions and Protein needs I will definitely check it out.

I think you'll be fine as long as you eat your protein first and don't get too crazy with your healthy fats. They say no smoothies but I think it would be fine as long as you can get that protein in there - maybe with almond butter. Mmmmm almond butter on apples.

I am starting week 4 today. I would say make sure you get enough Protein. I think I am not getting enough. Also make sure you plan your meals. If I have everything made and portioned out already then it makes it easier to stay on track. I wind up snacking more than I should. You can use mint and herbal teas but just check the ingredients because some of the teas have added sugar and such.
