Some of you may know that I'm in the middle of my second Whole30 - a food journey that involves cutting out all gluten (I'm gluten-free anyways), dairy, legumes (including peanut butter!), soy, grains, alcohol, and a few other additives. When I first completed the Whole30 (see more of that adventure here!) two years ago in January, we found out that Nathan cannot eat gluten (and thus, I quit as well) and dairy bothers my stomach a whole lot!

I never intended on starting another one, but when December came around I found myself itching to try it again. I wanted to see how far away I had gotten from the way of eating I had learned the first time, and I knew that my cravings for Coke Zero were starting to get out of control. For the most part we are pretty much 'clean eating' people, but an occasional soda had turned into a treat more than once per week, and I wanted to get it under control.

The second time around has been completely different, and it has honestly felt like a breeze...
