“We believe you should consume only foods (and drinks) that support normal, healthy digestive function; eating anything that impairs the integrity of your gut impairs the integrity of your health.”
― Melissa Hartwig, It Starts with Food: Discover the Whole30 and Change Your Life in Unexpected Ways
There are three days left on my Whole30 diet. I followed the invitation of my One Little Word, Umkehr and eliminated added sugars, grains, legumes, and dairy.
This was a return, Umkehr, to a cleaner diet which I tried in the past for a shorter duration. Now, because I am going to carry on another month, I will give an accounting of the results after one month.
- Much less digestive rumblings
- My face is very smooth, rough surface gone
- I am able to fall asleep quickly
- Weight loss of 7 pounds
- I can move easier, less joint inflammation
There is one food family I will introduce back into my diet. Legumes will be the returning ingredient this month. With a dash of dark chocolate. I've missed it!
January is destined to become a memorable month. Click here to see some other Umkehr challenges in the future.
Maybe I should have picked Rubato for my word this year since it is the name of my mystery novel.
“Rubato is a musical term which means temporarily leaving a strict tempo to allow an expressive quickening or slowing, usually without altering the overall pace."
