    I did Whole 30 last year, thinking of starting again! Did you read the book? I loved the recipes in it, I also spent a lot of time on Pinterest and blogs for recipes, but kept it really simple for the most part!!!!!

    I've done Whole 30 before though I'm not currently. Some of my easiest/favorite go-tos include: advocado with tomato and salmon or tuna (kinda like a tuna salad type thing), thin sweet potato slices that have been toasted with seasoned meat and salsa (kinda like nachos), and this chicken "Alfredo" recipe: https://www.primallyinspired.com/chicken-alfredo-paleo-style/

    Good luck!!

    Confession I did not read the book  

    :open_mouth:

    Did you ever get tired of eating? I've reached the point where nothing sounds good.

    @harleyquinn0621 torture haha. Really though you eat only fruits,veggies and protein for 30 days. It's supposed to cleanse your body of all the toxins and hopefully help with future cravings and your relationship with food.

    Yep exactly that @harleyquinn0621 !  My only thing about it is I'm starting to wonder if it jacked up my period because it hasn't stopped since June 6th.  I read about a few other people that had similar experiences.  I'm wishing I would have talked to my RE before starting.

    I was very curious and just read up about the diet. Are you really not supposed to have any legumes???  That is too much of an important part of my diet!  It is very similar to the PCOS diet.
    TTC since May 2015 with domestic partner of 13 years. Me 33 OH 33.  No ovulation or natural menstruation. Normal SA.
    Diagnosed PCOS February 2016
    First cycle 50mg Clomid 5/3/16, O'd CD 19 BFN
    Second cycle 50mg Clomid 6/1/16 O'd CD 18 BFN
    Third cycle Clomid 6/29/16 O'd CD 16 BFP @11dpo!
    EDD April 3 and praying things work out!

    Yep no legumes @Ducks&Cats.  I cheat by allowing myself peanut butter to get more "good fat".  I buy natural so it's a little better but still a cheat.

    @reesanne16 because of the carbohydrates in them are difficult to digest also they contain Phytates which can prevent you from absorbing vitamins.
