What We Talked About in this Episode:
Billy gives an overview of what his general eating habits were prior to Whole30
Usually no breakfast
If has breakfast → Snickers, Red Bull, sometimes a honeybun in replacement of Snickers
Rarely eats lunch, tends to be fast food if he does
Ashley gives an overview of her eating habits
Always ended up getting UberEats rather than eating the lunches she makes
Grabbing something quick and on the go, because of “convenience”
Poptarts
Bagels
One of us would come home late from an event and would bring home whatever was from the event or pick up fast food rather than go out to eat or cook from home
“Our eating habits is one of the ways we are not better together”
July 2nd, 2018: Billy went to the doctor and had a high cholesterol report
“You do things for two reasons: to gain a benefit or avoid a loss”
Originally, Billy didn’t think there was a benefit that needed to be gained or a loss that needed to be avoided regarding his eating habits until he went to the doctor
Billy loves fruits and vegetables, but didn’t eat them a lot before Whole30
While on Whole30, Billy started eating foods such as hard boiled eggs and a fruit smoothie for breakfast
As a result, he feels much better and longer throughout the day than when he eats Snickers, Red Bull, and/or honeybun for breakfast
We didn’t follow the the Whole30 diet book; instead, we networked with friends and followed certain Instagram accounts for motivation
“We were leaning too much on excuses for our poor eating habits”
“We learned why our poor eating habits formed”
We don’t like leftovers
We don’t like knowing what we have to eat the next day
OUR RESULTS?
Collectively lost 20 pounds
Estimated savings of $500
Billy’s relationship with sodas are done
Built new and better eating habits
Continuing to follow Whole30 rules in regular diet
