DAY 30 - Whole30® 30 Days of Education That is For Certain

I Said "I Can Do Anything for 30 Days"... I was Right.

TOP 10 Things I Learned on My Whole30® Journey

1. Sugar makes you need (physically need, like an addict) sugar. [PERIOD]
2. What feeling hungry is really like... not "fake hunger".
3. I used to eat mindlessly when stressed (battled a few of those in the 30)
4. How to make homemade sausage and cashew butter. (super easy and awesome)
5. I am a nicer person when the right foods go into my body.
6.  I will never buy a hot pocket again for my children. (70+ ingredients, half of which I can pronounce)
7. Prepare, prepare, prepare. Plan, slice, dice, roast, can, freeze, cook and store.
8. Read ingredients, not just the nutritional info, damn near everything has sugar. (or fake sugar)
9. Life is really okay without Diet Coke.
10. I am in control of this whole food intake thing, I did not used to be. Sugar ruled me.

To succeed in life you need 2 things ignoramce & confidence. Mark Twain
I am slightly terrified about day 31. Reintroduction of foods is the next step. Not all too comfortable with reintroducing anything... except maybe a Bloody Mary.
