Reintroduction Wrap-Up

Foods I found out that I'm sensitive to:
-Dairy, esp. cheese
-Corn

Foods with minimal reaction, though not optimal:
-gluten-grains
-legumes

Foods I've added back:
-more fruit
-more nuts
-oatmeal

Foods I don't want to eat again:
-processed things
-artificial color, flavors

Some foods are still delicious and worth a special treat for the sake of celebration. (Tamales and pinto beans at Christmas, I'm thinking of you!) (and a good cannoli!) But there are so many foods I've consumed in my life out of ease or because it would fill me up. So this experience is helping me to change those life long habits.

Foods that I'm ok with, like gluten-grains and legumes, still made me feel heavy and more tired. Getting away from them gave me greater energy and sleep, which I enjoyed.

Now I plan to stay eating this way, and will consider doing a second Whole30 some time in the next few months. I will probably go for long though, as it takes longer than 30 days to get some things completely out of your system.

Interesting experiment. I recommend it.
