Has anyone done the whole 30 diet?
I'm thinking about giving it a shot, but it looks like it'd be difficult...

I remember doing an elimination diet, i didn't do it for 30 days but two weeks & a half? The hard part was no dairy and grains. I ruined it when i ordered a salad that was covered in cheese & i didn't want to pick it all out & really missed cheese so i ate it & observed how my body reacted after not having cheese in awhile. Cheese is the culprit!

I haven't tried it but I would just try to type in different things like "whole 30 meal plans" and see what you get. There's loads of cookbooks and also people will offer meal plans for cheap but also for free. It def. requires searching out for the perfect one because you need to find what works with your schedule.
I find that always helps me to get some idea and if you find a meal plan that's better, you can swap out things you like for other things that are approved on whole 30 as well. It should be easier once you can write down some ideas.
I'd try searching things like whole 30 meal plans, whole 30 meal planning, easy whole 30 recipes, one pot whole 30 recipes, crockpot whole 30 recipes.. you get the idea.

@SatanBurger I'll have to look into that! I live in a small town that has fast food and walmart to offer. You'd think there'd be that gem of a butcher shop in a place like this, but no such luck.

@SooperSarah Hey I don't mean to bombard your comment page but I found some extra links that may be worth checking into and wanted you to have them.
Omaha steaks has a 48 count Chicken breast for $99 (they also have less for sale as well in 4, 8, 12, 40 or 48 count packages.) Just thought I'd let you know since you're looking for quality chicken:
https://www.omahasteaks.com/product/Boneless-Chicken-Breasts-48-4-oz-41346?AID
And then also:
https://www.farmfoodsmarket.com/ (only offers beef sadly but they still look delicious.)
https://www.crowdcow.com/
I live in the same type of area which is why I started searching online for alternatives. Walmart and corporations tend to wipe out smaller farms because they can't hold up to the competition, I know what that's like and I know what quality of meat you're looking at which isn't ideal. I would say however that even if you can't find anything else, it would do in a pinch even if it's not allowed on whole 30. If you make up the bulk of your diet with whole veggies, preservatives are not ideal but it's better than falling off the wagon and you're still doing more than 80% of the population.
Next time you go to Walmart, just [b]check out other people's carts casually[/b], I bet you'll find not one of them contains things to actually cook while you do, that's what you have to remind yourself is why you are realistically eating this way. In the end, eating a wider variety of fruits, veggies, root tubers, meat and good fats will help you a lot whether at Walmart or elsewhere.

@SatanBurger You're absolutely right about about everyone's cart.
The cashiers even comment on how healthy the stuff I buy is. That tells me it must be pretty rare.

@Deadcutie I'm not a kid, but I am pretty small. My bmi has me barely in the underweight range, but it's not enough to be a concern.
@Deadcutie I figured as much. I'm just used to people lecturing me about my weight. :s

@sarabee1995 I didn't either. A guy I work with is doing it with his fiance the month before their wedding. They've done it before and he said he feels so much better when they do it. The more I look into it, the more difficult it seems to become lol
