HI Everyone!
I am jumping on board to hopefully try W30 in the new year!
Through my former Crossfit Gym (that I miss SO SO SO much) we did a program called the Performance Nutrition Challenge that was essentially Whole 30. Since I'm a vegetarian (that occasionally eats fish) they had, however, given me permission to eat garbonzo beans at the point- and no other beans. I loved the program, felt great, and repeated the cycle about 3 or 4 times before kind of settling into a "loose" paleo way of eating. Unfortunately, it's gotten TOO loose and I'm ready to tackle some of these digestive problems via diet..
Has anyone else successfully tried Whole 30 who is not a meat eater and not broken the bank with seafood? I really want to give it a solid go, but I can't afford to buy salmon or tuna every week and wanted to get some insight. I eat eggs.
*Please note, I'm not looking for "you should just eat meat" advice here. I am not really an 'ethical' vegetarian, and I have tried to force myself to eat meat about a dozen times since I stopped 24 years ago. I just haaaaate it, all of it. I gag at the flavor and texture, it makes me feel tired and sick (yes, even grassfed) and it's like constantly trying to force someone who doesn't like Brussel sprouts (but likes lots of other veggies and otherwise has a well balanced diet) to choke down Brussel sprouts. K, had to get that mention out of the way...thanks.
