    04: Our First Whole30 Experience

    Published: Jul 23, 2018 · Last Updated: Apr 9, 2021 by Jen Lopez

    In today’s episode, Jen and Bailey discuss their very first Whole30 experience. Jen and Bailey have very different reasons for beginning their Whole30’s, and came to it from different backgrounds. Bailey talks about how she had never really “dieted” before, and Jen explains her background in macro counting prior to her Whole30.

    They both explore what their different experiences brought them, from both scale victories and non-scale victories. Jen and Bailey discuss what the benefits and the downfalls are, what they did to prepare, label reading, and also talk about what came next after their first Whole30, and their plans going forward.
