My Whole 30 Day by Day Meals

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!

My Shred 10 Experience: Eating Clean for 10 Days

Shred 10 is a program designed to rid oneself of unhealthy food habits, foster a positive relationship with food and "get back on track." For 10 days, the following are eliminated: gluten dairy caffeine alcohol processed foods artificial sweeteners refined sugar eating after 6pm In turn, one is to add more REAL food to their diet. Taking Juice Plus Capsules and drinking Juice Plus Complete shakes are encouraged. Sleep, exercise and water should be priorities, especially during this time. Full disclosure, I have a vested interest in this program because I am a Juice Plus consultant. Juice Plus is a company whose main products consist of capsules that are full of real food nutrition. Fruit, veggies and berries full of antioxidants and phytonutrients are picked at their peak ripeness and flash-frozen, pureed, dried and powdered in order to be put into the capsules or made into gummies. I feel like taking Juice Plus capsules are an insurance policy towards gettin

Breastfeeding: From the Bad to the Goodies That Got Me Through

"Why doesn't anyone talk about this?" This is something I hear about breastfeeding all the time. Several friends have said things to me like, "I never knew how hard this was going to be," or "No one told me my nipples would actually crack and bleed."  The good news is that people are more open about this topic than ever. I, for one, am an open book and I am regretfully long winded. But I want to share my experiences with breastfeeding my two girls so that people may relate or benefit somehow from my words.  My two experiences were so different from each other, which I hear is common.  I would never describe breastfeeding as "easy," but I am grateful that my second experience was much better than the first. My firstborn: Ollie      I had difficulty from the get-go with breastfeeding Ollie. She didn't latch well in the hospital and they had me trying the nipple shield almost immediately. The nipple shield is made of thin, clear and f

My Fertility Journey: How I Healed My Mind and Body for Pregnancy

I'd say that most of us are smart enough to know that you can't necessarily just get pregnant whenever you want. We know this logically, but when it's time for us to try, we want it to happen immediately. We spend all these years preventing pregnancy and then when we finally decide we are ready for a baby, it's a struggle! It's not fair, and it's often due to factors of which we are unaware- until we do some digging. I want to share my fertility struggles and experiences to shed light on what I've learned through the process. I have 2 girls now, and I struggled with fertility with my first. CHILD 1:      My husband and I planned on getting pregnant during the summer of 2015. I realize now that that might seem naive, but bear with me. I had been learning about the Paleo lifestyle since 2014, had completed a couple of sugar detoxes and was eating mostly healthy foods at the time. I went off birth control six months before we wanted to try (I had been on
