If I could, you can, and I'm someone who eats pretty healthy generally.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to embark on the Whole 30 program? Heather Timmons takes you through her personal experience in this episode of 'Step Up To Sobriety'. As a personal trainer with a solid background in nutrition, Heather decided to dive into the Whole 30 program without the meticulous planning she usually relies on. Instead, she embraced the challenge head-on, using her knowledge and support from friends who had completed the program.
The Whole 30 program involves cutting out grains, sugars, dairy, legumes, and other potentially inflammatory foods for 30 days, focusing instead on wholesome meals like meat, potatoes, and vegetables. Heather shares how this approach helped her shed pounds and body fat while also providing unexpected benefits like reduced knee and back pain. Throughout the episode, Heather addresses the perfectionism trap that often holds people back from starting such programs.
She emphasizes that it’s okay not to have everything perfectly planned and that focusing on your own journey is crucial. She also offers practical tips for success, such as staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and avoiding alcohol. The episode doesn’t stop at the 30-day mark. Heather discusses the reintroduction phase, where you slowly bring back eliminated foods to see how your body reacts. Although she didn’t follow this phase to the letter, Heather still noticed significant changes.
She wraps up by highlighting the importance of connecting with others for support and picking your battles wisely. This episode is a candid look at how taking control of your nutrition can lead to positive changes in both body and mind.
