I lost 30 lbs doing a modified whole 30. I cut out all grains, dairy (which I rarely ate anyway) and sugar. But the best thing that happened was that my asthma disappeared. I stopped using my advair and rescue inhalers. I've been asthmatic for 25 years! After the 1st month I planned to go back to my regular diet, but kept with the program and now it has become part of my lifestyle. I did try to eat some grains for my birthday, but I suffered so at night with asthma that I never tried any again. I eat egg whites, rarely, because I don't like the taste of yolks. I still won't touch dairy and my sugar addiction seems to be under control too. I don't eat any frozen or processed foods. Because I'm professionally trained pastry chef, I substituted flours with nut flours. Now I make cauliflower wraps, cashew flour biscuits, rutabaga pasta, etc. I don't eat beef, pork or chicken, so I eat a lot of seafood and fish. I also cut out those processed soy products and tofu. Now I eat fish, vegetables, fruit and nuts. I eat cocoa, but not often. I use stevia, not sugar. For baked goods I'll use almond flour for cookies or cakes and dates or honey as the sweetener. But eating baked goods is a once a month endeavor for me now. In my tea is unsweetened almond milk. I also log everything I eat through lose it.com. It keeps me honest.
Unfortunately I'm a Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott girl and won't camp. Maybe some other posters can speak on what to bring on overnight bike trip. I know I keep a package of nuts and a piece of fruit with me when I'm out and about just incase I get hungry and food options are poor.
