We’ve had an entire fall, and maybe longer, of excess. It’s time for a reset. Several blogs I read (including Modern Mrs. Darcy) have done Whole30 and have had good success with a diet reset. We are in need of an adjustment of our taste buds and eating habits (if I adjust my waistline that will be a very welcome bonus) and so Whole30 sounded like a good approach.
The basic idea is to cut out sugars, grains, dairy and legumes (and alcohol). So what’s left? Proteins, veggies, fruit and limited fats and nuts. My kids and I can consume massive quantities of sugar, so that seemed like a good reason to go on Whole30. At least, it seemed like a good idea yesterday before I went to the grocery store!
So today, I clarified butter, cooked beef broth, and roasted chickens. Before breakfast. We had chili for dinner (and it tasted good but the kids missed the beans!) and I made homemade mayonnaise. Have you ever made mayonnaise?
Shut the front door. Go make some. Seriously delicious stuff.
So day one is under our belts. We’ll see how this goes.
I’m watching as you do this… maybe I can get some tips from you. I made a super yummy chicken vegetable soup last night (no noodles!) and everyone LOVED it! The recipe is in my Plan to Eat should you want to use it. 🙂
I’m impressed with all you accomplish — before breakfast!
