So What Now?
With so many of you finishing your Whole30and doing a great job, the inevitable question is..."what now?" Every person is going to have some slight variations here, and that is part of what the 30 is about. The people that FINISHED with us, did not go off at all. No "special" meals or "I was at a party" "it was my anniversary" they did the entire program from start to finish. Folks stayed over and over, but the ones who did The Whole30 really did it. My plan is to eat 100% clean with one "open meal" per week. Some people are looking at 100% and two open meals, and others are varying on and off schedules. The feedback from folks is that much of the food that you thought you wanted back in your life will now do some damage to you when eaten, others welcomed things back. It is a slippery slope, and you need to trad carefully. Finding balance will be the key; a way to eat forever without having to diet. Try to stick to good whole food based on lean proteins, vegetables, some fruit and healthy fats. If you need any help, let us know!

I feel really good and I am not going to vary from the Whole 30 too much. I will as Dave wrote go 100 percent and might have one cheat meal or whatever you want to call it. The Whole 30 really changed my outlook on food, I sleep better, feel better and some of my workouts are better. Yes, I still like to talk alot while I working out but to me thats part of the fun of working out with FRIENDS
. Now the hard part comes into to play trying to get the family to do it. I will slowy implant the Whole 30 with them and hopefully they will have the same feelings that I have. Thank you Dave and Lisa soooooo much it has changed the way I see and feel about food 
. This was my ah ha moment!!!!!!!

Shelly,
You look great! I’m soooo glad that you decided to give the 30 a whirl. I’m glad I did too, I never thought I’d ever agree to something that seemed so strict. Once I got into it I realized it was not that strict ~ there are so many different foods to choose from. Congrats on completing! The fam will follow soon, keep up the great work.
