Today I Started the Whole30 and Medium.com
Another fad diet. If The Whole30 is a fad, so be it. It sounds like a great way to eat. Mainly, it’s about cutting grains and sugars and I hope to see increased energy, better sleep, improved breathing, and maybe a few pounds off… Continue Reading “Today I Started the Whole30 and Medium.com”
