The Whole30 Day By Day: Your Daily Guide to Whole30 Success

I JUST got this and I'm actually on day 24 of what's probably my 5th Whole30 and skimming through this book makes me want to just start over at day 30 (I plan to do the reintroduction, then do xmas and consciously blow my body out of the water with cinnamon rolls, which I'm sure my body will hate/love at the same time) but I fully intend to do another W30 for Jan JUST so I can go through this book! This is truly what I've been looking for to not only help keep me accountable but the tips she provides, the spaces for reflection and tracking sleep, energy and cravings and really documenting the full process is invaluable! This current W30 I'm on I've vowed to do it w/ pure intention (focus on shifting my mind set and emotional body, energetic body vs just the focus in physicality) and I created a wee lil journal that does help w/ keeping the WHY really present in this process but my own creation is really not structured and I've fallen off from doing it. I see this book helping me be more consistent with it. ALSO - each day I always gravitate towards the Whole 30 Timeline that's been online to help get some understanding for where I'm at on a certain day so this book is like that on steroids x498238 (approximately +/- 4). I just flipped to day 24 in the book and the first sentence reads, "It's DAY 24... but if it weren't for this handbook you'd have lost count by now." HA! I actually just had to whip out my calendar this morning and count how many days it has been because I have forgotten and I am already starting to think about the end of this 30 days and how I want to move forward and that's exactly where this book is at. I've done a ton of Vipassana retreats and I'm always blown away by how much Goenka knew just where people were at on what day of their meditation retreat. You can tell when a teacher really pays attention to the affects of their program on the people they are there to serve and because they are paying attention to those who they impact, you know they really care about the individuals and their success in their health/wellbeing. Melissa has been paying mother-effin-attention and from the way she interacts with people on social media and with the ways she's integrated ALL she has observed over the course of the last few years as gazillions of people do her program, you know she's got mad love for all of us. Thank you Melissa! This new book is going to be such an incredible asset in all my future W30's! You're the best! *zen dude emoji* Oh and p.s. the print quality and solidness of this book feels quite lovely in my hands. I'm digging the design and paper selection a ton!

I am a big fan of Whole 30 and have most of the books, so of course was excited to pre-order "Day by Day". The book looks great except that it's bound so the cover is upside down and backwards from the contents of the book. Every time I pick it up, I have to flip it over and then turn the whole book 180 degrees to orient the pages correctly. I know this is something shouldn't diminish the utility of the book but if you are on "Whole30" doesn't it bring out the OCD in all of us. It's kind of driving me nuts! Update: I emailed the author, Melissa Hartwig, via the Whole30.com website. She responded directly to my message and offered to put another copy in the mail to me at no charge. I received a properly bound book today with a special note from the author inside the front cover. I've been using the incorrectly bound version for the past five days because I just couldn't wait to start my Whole30 (beach vacation on the books for end of January!). Having attempted at least 6 Whole30's, I have to say I'm really liking the day-by-day journal. I'm impressed by the amount of research that went into each day's motivational tips and hearing what others have experienced at a similar stage. I always keep my own written account of my Whole30 efforts because it's educational to refer back to favorite recipes and what works for me. The journal adds new outcomes to track such as energy levels and cravings. I wasn't tracking those things before and the journal makes it really easy to track my status. I also like the start-of-day and end-of-day reflection exercises. I feel this is my most mindful Whole30 yet and highly recommend it to newbies and veterans of Whole30.

This book became a life line for me when I did Whole 30. I would recommend anyone doing Whole 30 to get this book and read along with it every money. The tips were spot on for how I felt each day. This book was something I look forwarded to reading the information in the morning about the day to come and then filling out the journaling section at the end of my day. This became a sacred book for me during my journey and really helped me succeed and feel so much better on the other side of it.

The book is designed to be used daily to write your reflections on your Day By Day Whole30 progress and sadly, in the Kindle version, you can’t do this. At first I was disappointed. Since the idea was so good, and Melissa’s writing great, I decided to keep it and figure out how I can use it. I developed a “template” that contains all the paragraph headings which are part of the daily exercise. Each day has the same reflection questions to help you reflect on that day. During the day & at the end of the day, I complete that day’s exercise. I find journaling very helpful to my process when committing to a new eating lifestyle change. If anyone would like a copy of my template, reply to this review - remember to put the format (Word, PDF, Pages, Mobi). I used Pages on my iPad, so you may need to reformat if you are using other software. The template is a one page document that you can put into your word processing software, then modify it to suit your needs (at least you won’t need to type everything). Once you are satisfied that the template is as you want it, copy & paste it into a new document, leaving your created template untouched. This was my process: After I opened the whole template, I opened a new document. Then I pasted the template to creat the first page. I then went to the end of the document to creat a page break, then pasted the template - repeated this process a couple of time so that I would have the the document ready for my daily reflection. Remember to change the “X” once you paste template into your document. I then completed my daily exercise. I repeated this process once I finished documenting my progress on those pages - adding more pages from the template. Would have given book 5 stars if it was a hard copy - I’m in a different country, so needed the Kindle edition.

The written part of this book is like an expanded "The Whole30 timeline" chapter on pages 32-41" of the original book. I thought that part of the book was really helpful in setting expectations. So, with this book, I liked the daily "here's where you are at in your Whole30 and this is what you might be experiencing, here's how to deal with it". I am not a journal lover, so that part of the book (about half the pages) wasn't really the most useful part of it, so I was going to take one star off because of that (the whole30 method is against micromanaging). But to be fair, that was clear in the description of the book. And, further, the journaling aspect was helpful to me in identifying that I do not plan meals effectively, and that I have eating/food problems that I was not aware of. So I gave the star back. Helpful, easy to read, useful. And only $13. Worth it.

If you’re going to do the Whole 30 you really need this book. It helps keep you accountable and gives much needed in spiraling the way. Yes you can do the diet without this book but I highly recommend it

As I was reading the opening of this book I noticed that there are still some rules and guidance that is from the old Whole 30. This book has not been updated to reflect the information that is in “The New Whole 30” book. I assume I will have to refer back to the main book to make sure the info I am reading in “Day by Day” is correct. That is a little frustrating. However after flipping through it I can tell that it will be helpful as a tool to keep me on track during the Whole 30 reset.

I loved the Whole30 as a program! This book at first surprised me as it is mostly a workbook (I guess I didn't read the description thoroughly) but in the end it became a nice refuge and a perfect way to track my results. I needed a better guide for reintroduction and that was offered here which was lovely. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of pushing of other random "Whole30" products it contained. They talk about their other books and even an email newsletter (which all cost money...no thx melissa). Honestly I'd choose this book over the original Whole30 book (I loved it but I only used it 2-3 times after week 1). I am the only one of my friends who successfully completed the 30 days and I attribute about 20% of my success to this book for holding me accountable and keeping me motivated. This works and the Whole30 works, I tell it to anyone who will listen.

Todos os dias dicas e motivação Sem falar nos espaços para escrever As refeições feitas, níveis de energia, qualidade de sono, vontades e reflexões sobre o dia

Si vous vous apprêter à suivre le whole30, je vous recommande. A chaque jour il y a des encouragements, il y a un espace pour écrire ce que vous avez manger, ce que vous ressentez etc. Tout pour faire un suivi éclairé de votre démarche, il y a un signet ruban à même le livre pour marquer ou vous êtes rendu. Et à la fin du livre lorsque vous êtes à l’étape de la réintroduction, vous avez de l’espace pour annoter vos impressions et des conseils pour,la réintroduction longue ou rapide. Lorsque je ferai un autre reset, je vais recommander ce petit guide.

Il libro ti guida day by day nella sfida del Whole 30 con consigli e motivazione. Senza le parole lette in queste pagine probabilmente non ce l'avrei fatta. Inoltre, grazie a questo, ho preso la buona abitudine di scrivere un diario a fine giornata.

Esta bastante bien, te ayuda a mantener la motivación

Definitely recommend for tracking, motivation, inspiration and journaling! Good advise, tips and stories. Now this book is my coffee table book! Arrived quickly.
