Whole 30 – Week 4

I did it!!!! I survived 30 days without sugar, carbs and dairy!!!It was hard, but I did it. Cutting carbs and dairy was way easier then cutting out sugar. Sugar is in everything! In my opinion it’s in things it shouldn’t even be in.

Thanks to Whole 30 I’ve reduced stomach inflammation, lost some weight and feel better overall.

The #1 thing I did through out my Whole 30 journey was seek recipes my family and I would enjoy eating together. As sitting down for dinner is a big part of our household.

Thanks to this program I’ve made some really yummy recipes these past few weeks. Here are some of my favorites from each week.
