So I have now done my first 30 at 80/20 lifestyle.
Weight Lost: 6 pounds
Total loss: 56 pounds
I have to be honest here and admit that I ate more like 96/4. I still find it difficult to eat things that are not Whole30 compliant. After doing my first month of 80/20 I needed to decide what my forever food lifestyle would be; I came up with the following:
1. When eating with a group of people, do my best to stay clean, but don't talk about it to the others
2. When eating at someone's home, I would eat whatever was offered
3. I am a teacher and teachers are notorious for eating all the time, potlucks, happy hours... When deciding who would bring what to a Summer School potluck recently I overheard someone say, "Don't ask Jefferies. She never participates." So rule #3 is always participate in school activities and don't focus on what I should or should not be eating, just eat the bad stuff in moderation.
The bottom line is that I love what I am eating. I love playing around with different recipes and I love how I feel.
Awesome! I am going to do Whole 30 but am working on my mental preparedness. Reading about your journey was great for me. I am 59 years old and probably 60 pounds overweight. Have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I want to be healthy. Thanks for sharing.
