Here is what I ate throughout my Whole 30 (Well, Whole 28). Remember, I found out I was pregnant on Day 3, so it’s carb and fruit heavy and doesn’t consistently reflect what I imagine Melissa Urban would recommend. I ate what I could stomach at any given time, and what my energy would allow me to prepare. While the Whole30 can be done without the official book, I HIGHLY recommend getting it. I used it almost every day and really appreciated the information and insights it contains. I chronicled most of my meals (including recipes and references) on Instagram @eatwhatfeelsgood. If recipe isn’t referenced, it’s an Eat What Feels Good original!
