MY WHOLE30 EXPERIENCE | What Foods I Ate & Final Results

I did a Whole30 and vlogged about my experience! ✨
What IS the Whole30? If you've never heard of it before, Whole30 is essentially a short-term dietary reset where for 30 days, you eliminate processed foods, added sugars, grains, alcohol, and other inflammatory foods - and focus on eating whole foods instead. The Whole30 is designed to "help you curb your cravings and bad habits, boost your metabolism, heal your digestive tract, and calm your immune system." I did a Whole30 for the first time five years ago, and it's what first trained me to start looking at ingredients in the food I eat. I decided to do another Whole30 with my roommate Ana to start off 2021 strong and reset some of my food habits.
In this vlog I'm sharing the Whole30 meals we made, the final results of my Whole30, and some spiritual parallels of things I learned along the way from doing it. Enjoy! 💛

Comment below if you know the first non-compliant food I ate once Whole30 was over! 🤣😋

[@kacinicole]

@Sure Radiance heheheh 😋

[@theraptureisnearbelieveinj7695]

Hi ladies! I’m on day 28 of Whole 30, and you wouldn’t believe my transformation so far! I am an older, morbidly obese woman and I literally took 10 years off my face in just 28 days! I feel like I need to stay on this for as long as possible. I have tons of food I can’t eat in my cupboards, but I do struggle with sugar addiction so maybe I shouldn’t come off of this. You both look amazing! Great job and way to go for staying strong!! 🙌 High Five! :)

[@probablynicole6090]

Came for whole 30 ideas, staying for the faith talks ❤️🤗

[@jenniferwhitaker9139]

Same

[@amischautz2]

Same❤

[@careercnsltnt1982]

Love how you both have brought God into this. :) I've been asking God to show me a plan...this is it!!!! Praise God.

[@DaisyValdivia]

Loved this video! On day 5 of whole 30 and this is so encouraging. I feel so encouraged to read my bible and lean into God through all of this.

[@SJ-ik2xw]

Is anybody else watching this classic in 2021??

[@agracething]

Just started whole 30 yesterday Love your spiritual parallels. Nice job. God bless

[@jess1987]

I'm doing a Daniel fast I think in April, along with a Daniel Bible study. I'm also completely changing my eating habits in March, so not a "diet," but a lifestyle change. I'm going to be more: whole foods plant based. I get IBS from dairy and processed/refined foods. I've treated this temple with disrespect for too long. My biggest struggle with sin is gluttony. But by God's strength; I know He will deliver me from it.

[@kimberlyjennings618]

Thanks for sharing! Love the scripture reading/spiritual side 💖🤗

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Kaci, you are such an inspiration! ❤️

[@sierraparker5729]

Love this so much! I feel so motivated spiritually & to pursue this whole 30 challenge (:

[@brittneydavis8662]

I absolutely love this whole video! Your faith is so inspirational and helped me to refocus on God to help me through this.

[@sarahhayter3730]

I loved how to brought God into this!

[@carmencarrion7072]

Love this thank you for not being afraid to share your faith.

[@Rentedbentley]

Hey you just got a new sub dude I’m joshua and I’ve been growing in my faith recently , you rock dude !!

[@graceleja4428]

[@debbieelliott8474]

Great video! Very sweet and love your source of strength ❤️

[@Happymengistu8318]

Yay am early.💜💜💜💜 pls do videos a lot life style videos like this is nice.

[@margeorietamayo3492]

EVERYDAY watching your videos, Kaci. 😍

[@kacinicole]

Aw 🤗thanks for watching!

[@UdoADHD]

@15:20 there is no such thing as whole30 compliant brownies. In the website it says one of the rules is “no recreating baked goods, treats or junk food with approved ingredients”

[@moriahjoi]

I couldn’t love this video more! Thank you so much for sharing the food but also your heart and what God has laid on it 🤎 I would also love to know what your lip color is during day 19 please!

[@heavencelestina6038]

First time here and I was impress that you are implementing the word of God. And you are also trying to build your relationship with God. God is the source of your strength.

[@joyceobeys6818]

I detoxed with lemon water with cayenne n olive oil first before we went 80-10-10. It was amazing!

[@asdfghjadiekl]

Omg please share your whole 30 recipes !!

[@melissarodriguez4531]

Great video!

[@keyonawhite2141]

New subscriber love to see young women in Christ 😍😍😍

[@socallawrence]

Awesome video. I am trying to cut out In N Out and Chick Fil A but here in Southern Cali there on every corner 🤦🏽‍♂️😩

[@christinamason8581]

Man your lucky I miss Cali foods

[@sarahaharper]

I just stumbled upon this. I did January 2021 Whole 30 too! Gearing up for January 2022. Will you be participating??

[@shamonjackson3478]

It’s 10/2023 thank you for this video. I’m only on day 6

[@mayr4483]

You remind me so much of Kristen Johns!💕

[@samanthamiles4397]

New subscriber, started today

[@mlwssdr1]

Where did you find your recipes?

[@Heatherrae341]

I know this is both of y’all’s 2nd round of W30 so I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the “whole 30 compliant brownies” I know you’re really not supposed to recreate baked good with whole 30 compliant ingredients.. was this a choice you made since both of you had already done this before or maybe just because you typically eat somewhat healthy anyway and staying away from sweet treats wasn’t something you struggled with before this challenge?

[@klee4702]

Yes…also thought there was a reintroduction period as well after whole30…not just rush back in and get a latte. I guess it’s all just for “content”.

[@tinydream]

@@klee4702 you slowly reintroduce foods back into your diet and her latte was over a week later and with oat milk. Pretty normal way to proceed after Whole30.

[@Gxport]

Day 1 starts at 4:22

[@trianawalker995]

Thanks so much for the video. 🙂 My husband and I will be starting whole 30 soon. He’s done it before, but it’ll be my first time. I noticed you had coffee. I read that it has to be black coffee. Were you a little lenient in regards to your drinks? I’m asking bc I have 3 kids….coffee is key, but I don’t like black coffee. I was just going to skip the coffee for the 30 days bc 🤮😂 Thanks again!

[@kimberlynstrader5565]

Nut Pods coffee creamers are whole 30 compliant!

[@logcadrymom]

Please pray for me

[@mehsodpaw4063]

🥰

[@oemotionalo]

How did you phase out of your Whole 30? Dr. Mike criticized the Whole 30 suggestion to introduce something every 2 days. What do you think?

[@paulallen3639]

I need to do this so bad, my insides feel like the ramen I've been eating for a week.

[@youtubeaccount6910]

Finished the Bible Study videos so now it is time to get to know you haha

[@kacinicole]

Haha yay! Glad to have you here!

[@missblissplays6990]

how could I do this as a teenager?

[@ivorywells2326]

Hey, you could try switching out sweets/sugars for fruits that sweets of your choice. As a beginner you should really pray and seek the Holy Spirit to guide you if you are a believer. So he can sustain you! Pick veggies 🥕🥗 that you like to exchange for processed foods. Drinking more water, smoothies are really good! If there’s anything else you’re curious about. I’ll love to answer it. 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@elainavasington9602]

This wasn’t a whole 30🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way you ate, but a simple google search can tell you that kombucha and recreated baked goods aren’t whole30 and smoothies and using fruit as a dessert aren’t recommended. Just wanted to point this out for anyone who is coming to this video for info on doing the diet themselves

[@brianaschiff7414]

Totally agree, but there are actually some whole30 approved kombucha brands/flavors!

[@brat7776]

I noticed that too.

[@CHV-pe8hy]

Sweat potato bread?

[@Forrestpublishinghaus]

Plantain chips, smoothies and kombucha are not compliant . You should read the actual whole 30 books if you're going to commit to a challenge like this.

[@alexandraslezak5259]

Your “Brownies” are not whole30 compliant according to the book - The Whole30, the 30-day guide to total health and food freedom.

[@Puma-cv2vk]

not to be that guy but dont eat shrimp its horrible for you its a bottom feeder and its biblical

[@Puma-cv2vk]

fish without fins and scales dont eat ;)

[@kirstylynn3723]

Old Testament. New Testament says you can.

[@Puma-cv2vk]

The New Testament does not say that show me where

[@socallawrence]

We are not under the law my friend 🙂. It’s like Pork, sure it will make us less healthy but it won’t make us less holy...

[@tristantries9211]

@CO BE it's not anti OT they are just referencing where in the NT it specifically lifts the food restrictions from the OT (basically says it's all fine to eat but if eating it causes you guilt then for you it's wrong and if you eating it causes your brother to stumble don't eat around it around them). If you want to eat by OT standards you can your just not obligated to if you follow the NT.

[@marieque9298]

Eww you ruined it with bible talk

[@tristantries9211]

This just isn't the video for you then. There is nothing wrong with her talking about it when its very important to her.

[@brat7776]

Just an opinion.....I loved that she brought in faith to her journey.
