We Tried The Whole30 Diet… and failed

In this video we go over our experience with the Whole 30 Diet. We tried this diet in hopes to eliminate sugar cravings, improve energy levels, and overall live …
If you gave it 30 days you may have seen better energy levels. For me itβs always taken 3 weeks. But your takeaways really illustrate the point of it. To shift eating habits. To see if any foods irritate your body etc. I have medical issues that this really helped. I could tell what stuff I could add back (I added one at a time) and itβs impact on my health .
I've done it 2x 2019 & 2020 for 1 month..it is hard (I'm a selective eater) but I use it as a reset in January because I indulge from Thanksgiving thru New Year. It is not fun and I'm always cranky and miserable for that month, I have never experience the energy everyone speaks of
This is a mental transition. Some need it more than others. For me it was life changing. I tried AIP for 3 days, didnβt work π Iβm now almost 60 days whole30. This is not a life sentence but my mentality is Whole Foods is human food. This is what fuels my body. This is the natural way. Is it more expensive, yea but so are medications. Cheap food is really just cheap chemicals. And if you have the right stores, your average meal can be $5 (my average at least) Might that bbq taste different sugar free, yes, but itβs natural and not tweeked for my taste buds to play tricks on my mind. After the first week, a vail was lifted off my brain. Everything was sooooo clear. Back pain, neck pain was nonexistent. Almost -20 lbs in 60 days. No tracking, no working out (though I should). Simple meal plans. And with all the healthy fats in my meals, I donβt need to snack. Just enough to hold me over. Unless there is a special occasion (like my birthday in Sept) Iβll be sticking to whole30 aka whole life. I hope everyone tries it out at least once. Excited to do it again in January.
What a movie reference π
Thinking about trying this. I don't eat a lot of meat so it will be an issue. Appreciate letting us know the cost – its usually the last thing people find out. But as someone commented- its temporary and a lesson that may be worth learning. Great video.
As someone with an autoimmune disease I would love to be on the Whole30 diet as opposed to the AIP diet I have to follow. I think W30, which Iβve done three times, you just have to figure it out and if you can get past day 12 then you really see the benefits.
I havenβt checked in on your channel since the days of your dancing food montages and while I most remember your loyalty for team cookie, your love for your mother and your dedicated early gym sessions I also remember you seemed lonely so In this new lockdown here in New Zealand I get to wake up to at least some good news to see that you appear happier in life
It's supposed to be temporary. If you read the original book, it is not meant to last for the rest of your life. It's a reset and a chance to heal from all that has been don't to our food and "perhaps" spot an allergen or food you are sensitive to as you ADD back each of the.eliminatrd items one at a time. I have done it twice. It's not hard, it requires discipline and planning. And you need the full 30 days. First time I lost 16 lbs and countless inches from my 5' frame and discovered allergy to oats and sensitivity to legumes. Now I eat all the other stuff. Even processed sugar and a soda now and again.

Really good video. Good tips.
I think it's also mental toughness too.. I've done 2 rounds of Whole 30.. lost over 60lbs, just changing my eating habits, no exercise. I'm going to do another round soon. I truly believe if you want to do something and have the will to do something, you put it in your mind and do the thing. Most people I tell about doing Whole 30 just make excuses about why they can't do it, because they just can't mentally wrap their heads around the idea of giving up so much. But what you Gain (Lose) from it, it's totally worth the effort.
Camerawife to the rescue with that gorgeous omelette π Great takeaways and insights on the diet and Iβd say you made the responsible and logical decision to end it after 14 days.
I did the Whole30 a few times and there are some definite pros of practicing discipline but it was so difficult to live a full balanced life.
Travis I dare you to go on a Bulk with the whole 30 dietπ
I actually gained weight, 3-4lbs, doing Whole30. We NEVER cook with fat, so using coconut/avocado oil in our cooking was detrimental to me.
It was pretty time intensive. Prepping casseroles for breakfast, cooking dinner every night, and lunch was always leftovers.
And yes, too expensive. But how on earth do you spend so much regular on groceries?! Family of 3 and we spend less than $150 a week.
Okay thatβs all. Love your videos Travis!
You never know until you try!!π
You have to do whatβs best for you!!
14 days, farther than I ever would have gotten if I even tried!
Great shot!π₯πͺ
"It just felt super restrictive for no apparent reason."
Good grief. Couldn't even do a 30 day elimination diet.
And for everyone saying "it isn't sustainable"…it isn't meant to be. It is used to let your body reset and heal, then add foods back in slowly to see what your body reacts to.
I can't imagine not being able to complete something for 30 days.
Are those IZIPIZI sunglasses?
Definitely want to encourage families with food allergies in their household to consider Whole 30 recipes, at least for dinners! We definitely don't eat Whole 30 compliant 100% of the time but it's nice using these recipes for dinner since it usually does not contain my daughter's food allergens (dairy, soy)
Never would've seen this coming π You made it longer than I would have though!
Eliminating artificial sweeteners would definitely be the most challenging for me. Good video!
All about the gainz bruh
Damn, I heard you start being able to fly after day 16. You almost made it.
"may as well call this diet whole wallet" had me howling πππ
I can't believe you quit whole 30 just to make a video about built bars. Dislike, unsub, send hate mail.
I think you stick to what works for you…its not like you guys eat crap food…so eat that Fat n Weird cookie and have a cocktail..or 2…πππ€£
Enjoyed this video. π
I don't agree with restrictions in diets. Not in this format. It seems like overkill and I would hate breaking the bank for something I'm not enjoying. Thanks for video and trying. π
Artificial sweeteners will catch up to you some day…terrible for your brain bro
Great video. Iβve been curious about Whole 30 and this was very informative!
So half 30 or whole 15?
Once you said no Monster or any Energy drinks I was like, is Whole 30 worth it? Yeah, nope! Haha. Good job for trying though π
14 days,Travis,is better than no days doing it-big success imoππ
Is that the clean eatz in wilmington? Literally 2 mins from my apartment, I get my meals for the week there.
Do you think back and Jesus days… if someone came up with a Snickers bar and offered it to him with a kind gesture, would he turn around and look at that person and tell him no way that's not part of the whole30 diet. Talk to my brother Lucifer
