You may remember the last time I did the Whole30. It was such a wonderful way to reset my body that I have decided to give it another go. I have not been eating Paleo all holiday season long and my body is showing it. I’ve gained a lot of weight back, I’m sluggish, and frankly I’ve spent these last few months under a cloud of depression. I’m tired of being fat and sad. So I’ve committed myself back to the Paleo lifestyle, but I think I need the jump start that the whole30 gives me.
Why is the Whole30 different from Paleo?
It’s paleo based, but more restrictive. It’s focused on taking the dependance away from the sugar demons craving we face. On the Whole30 there are:

I will be sharing what I’m eating each week along with the next week’s meal plan on Mondays and I will be updating my weekly fitness journey on Fridays as well. I’m starting T25 tomorrow too.
If you are new to Paleo you might want to check out this list of my favorite Paleo foods and get your copy of my free printable paleo grocery list. It really makes shopping SO easy!

Here is my Whole 30 Based Meal Plan:
Monday: Bolognese with Zoodles – Based off this awesome recipe from my Practical Paleo Cookbook. (I LOVE this cookbook!)
Tuesday: Chicken Sausage with broccoli and sweet potato fries
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Italian Pork Roast from Clothes Make The Girl.
Thursday: Salad with left over pork.
Friday: Beef Patties with roasted veggies
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Balsamic Chicken with garlic-y green beans.
(Just a note: I’m also egg free due to my baby’s allergies and I’m breastfeeding so I’m not particularly concerned about eating too many fruits, nuts, or root veggies as I want to make sure my milk supply does drop as I’m already dealing with supply issues.)
If you are interested in doing your own Whole30 I recommend picking up the book It Starts With Food. It’s only $9.99 and is a great read and really explains why you should consider a Whole30. Also check out www.whole9life.com.

I have seen Paleo recipes all over the place but didn’t really know much at all about it. Sounds interesting!!
Paleo is my life 🙂 I couldn’t imagine NOT eating this way! YUM!
I need to check out the slow cooker roast – it sounds delicious and I like anything that I can make in my slow cooker!
I don’t crave any of those but sugar… but oh man do I ever crave sugar!!! I’m trying to live healthier this year as well.
I’ve never heard of this. I will have to look into this more.
i’m not super familiar with paleo but if it works and helps you feel better- that’s what matters! some of these recipes sound amazing
We stopped eating clean around the holidays too and like you, I am feeling it! Thanks for planning my meals of me 🙂
my cousin is on this diet, I so need to jump on board, sounds like great recipes. My biggest problem is no sugar and i love beans!
I have heard so many good things about the paleo diet that I am tempted to try it myself. I will be looking forward to reading about the foods that you get to eat.
I don’t think I could do without grains for long. Sugar would be tough but doable….but I love my grains!
I am not familiar with Paleo, but some of those meals sound so yummy.
That is a delicious mealplan, especially considering that it is following such a specific diet! I’d eat all of these meals!
Paleo really interests me. I am definitely going to check this out and see if it is something that I could do.
