You might be wondering why a girl who swore she'd never do another Whole30 again, just completed a 21-Day Sugar Detox. Aren't they practically the same?

Today I'm wrapping up week one of the 21-Day Sugar Detox. You know, it hasn't been that bad. I thought I'd miss Dunkin' on Saturday or my usual chocolate chip pancakes or waffles a la mode on Sunday - but I don't. Fueling my body with the good stuff first thing helps keep me full...

It was hard, but not impossible. The Basics The premise of the program is to eat clean, whole foods for 30 days. But, of course, that’s just the first layer of a very well thought out program. Eat three meals a day, large and nutritious enough to keep you full until your next meal. Don't... Continue Reading →
Larabars are one of my favorite snacks, but the ones I like (Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip) are not Whole30 approved. I thought about making my own, subbing cashews for the peanuts and leaving out the chocolate chips. Then I found out there is already a Larabar for that - Cashew Cookie. I eagerly tried it,...
