I’ve got a friend who started Whole30 less than 2 weeks ago.
For years she’s suffered from horrible, painful cystic acne all over her body. I’m talking cysts the size of golf balls. Tons of oral medications and creams have been prescribed by doctors and nothing has helped. Too much of the time she just has to wait for the cyst to come to a head and be drained.
As of day seven on the diet, no new cysts. The old ones are almost healed. She’s lost a dozen pounds and is, frankly, stunned by the the difference in her skin.
Honestly, so am I. I saw the changes in my daughter, but this is really remarkable. I see her almost every day and you can actually see the improvement from day to day.
Very cool. I would tell anyone to try it. Even though we are done with the 30 days we are still doing it for basically 95% of our meals.
The key for me was finding recipes and foods I liked and then stocking up on them. Hamburgers was an easy thing I could cook up ahead of time and then season with garlic and red pepper flakes, with a fried egg on top. Avocado egg salad was another good one. You can eat as much as you want, just none of the preservatives, and I think that’s why I was able to stick with it.
