I started Whole30 three weeks ago, and I’m already feeling the difference. I feel more energized, I’m sleeping better, and my skin has been looking great. The last three weeks haven’t been easy, however, especially when it comes to social events. The dietary restrictions involved in the program (no dairy, no sugar, no legumes, no grains, no alcohol) force you to think ahead when it comes to dining out and eating with friends. It’s a little easier at restaurants, where you can check out the menu ahead of time to make sure you have options or could politely ask for some minimal substitutions if allowed.

It’s a little trickier when it comes to dinner parties. You can make sure the hosts are aware of your diet, come having eaten just in case, or you could just take control and host your own dinner party. I recently decided on the latter option. I really wanted to prove to myself that I could host a delicious and satisfying Whole30-compliant dinner party. Here’s how the whole thing went.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
