Live well, Jess hello! Thanks for your amazing videos! Question..about the mixed nut butter it says there is 1gram of sugar??

My husband and I both went on the Whole 30 and feel so good we will never go back to sugar. No more Ibuprofen for aches and pains, no more desperate cravings in between meals. Sugar free bacon and eggs WOW. Sugare Free chicken sausage and eggs with veges. Thanks for reminding us of all the good stuff at TJ"s

I'm JUST starting The Whole 30 and this video was a GREAT help. TJ's is my FAVE store, close by & I've seen (and even used some) ALL of the items you mention. THANK YOU!!!

Love the way this video cuts to showing the shelf in the store for the pricing! I'm always curious when people share food items but not pricing what the numbers were, so thanks!

Super awesome video! Extremely helpful! I am reembarking on the Whole 30 train and I have a TJ across the street now. Keep making Whole 30 vids! :)

Finding this video is a true GEM during the Christmas holiday. I definitely will keep this in mind, especially since I'm attempting the Whole30 in January.

Oh my goodness!! I am so glad I found your channel. I just spent so much money purchasing lots of items on Whole Foods yesterday because my husband's doctor recommended him to go on Whole 30. Well, the first store that came to my mind was Whole Foods, but next time I'll check Trader's Joe for what I need. And, by the way, some of the items you just mentioned are also sold at Walmart, but they are very expensive! Thank you for this great video.

I love love the fact that you know your whole 30 facts!! Great video! Thank you 👍🏼🙌🏼😊

Great video! THank you!

Great items, I use every single one of those! Even though I'm not technically on whole 30 anymore I still try to buy clean now! I avoid soy at all costs because I'm a breast cancer survivor! The absolute hardest broth to find compliant is beef broth as they all have soy! Thanks for sharing!

+Jessica Barr DeVos Thank you so much for such a kind comment! It made my day. 😁 I definitely don’t eat completely Whole30 now, but I can share more healthy things I love on the future. I consult Whole30 meals a lot when searching Pinterest, etc. because I know I’m getting a really wholesome meal and am familiar with that way of cooking.

These were some great suggestions! I love TJs! Don't get there often but when I do it's like a treasure hunt and I'm like what do I get besides what I normally get. It's nice to know what others get. Next time I'd like to try the cauliflower rice!

It’s $1.99 for 12 ozs for the frozen cauliflower rice in the vegetable section! I’m not sure if that works out to cheaper than the fresh stuff. But it is organic cauliflower.

The fresh is cheaper by like 1 cent per ounce. However, I love the frozen option because I know that I'll sometimes forget to cook the fresh cauliflower and it just goes bad.

I tried the whe 30 and I am thinking of doing it again but I find that most of the processed whe 30 compliant foods are high in sodium. That's my biggest problem.

Why are there butter and sausages? I thought nonprocessed only ..im confused and I wanna do whole360

First time watching your video and really enjoyed. Was looking at Whole30 plan and Keto and saw your video. Would like to know how the two differ...besides no butter on Whole30.

@livewelljess

5 жыл бұрын

I think the premises of the two diet plans are entirely different. Whole30 is very focused on clean eating - no counting of protein/carbs/fats. That's why I enjoy this way of eating! Less to keep track of. Keto requires carefully tracking protein/carbs/fats, and it allows things you wouldn't eat on a Whole30 diet, such as sugar free sweeteners and dairy. The goal with the keto diet is to get your body into ketosis to burn fat more efficiently, whereas I see Whole30 as a nutritional reset filled with clean, whole foods.

What else did you put in your trail mix? :)

New sub!

I’m day 5 of whole 30 and feeling good but not lol. Anyway love Trader joe and got my staples there. Can you stay on whole 30 indefinitely?

The chili lime burger is whole 30 compliant?

How was your milk supply during the whole 30? I was gonna do another one before I got pregnant in January and wasn't going to do it pregnant but may do one breast feeding when I get further along and well adjusted.

Doctors say to avoid broccoli and cauliflower when you have hashimotos so I’m not sure how you are eating cauliflower rice ? Or is it cause the veggies are cooked ?

I filmed this last year before my diagnosis. 😁 However, I do still consume cruciferous vegetables, but primarily cooked. The goitrogens that cause problems in cruciferous vegetables are inactivated by cooking.

melissa berthiaume whole 30 is a reset diet. It is intended for a person to reintroduce regular diet carefully to understand how it affects your body. It’s more about “food freedom” than anything else.

The TJ’s coconut aminos is not whole30 compliant. It has added sugar.

@livewelljess

Thanks for your comment! The Whole30 website explicitly states, "Coconut aminos are an exception to the 'no sugar added' rule (and continue to be permissible on the program). You can find more information on that here: whole30.com/2017/03/chips-and-aminos/

One thing that I have found helps in the Whole 30 journey are Tessemae's dressings.www.tessemaes.com/collections/dressings Super flavorful and most are Whole 30 approved. Thye dont stock and Trade Joes though.... ugh!

The Whole 30 is a strict, elimination diet that you do for 30 days for many reasons (lose weight, determine which foods might be causing inflammation or allergies, etc) that's working for many folks. You can buy the book at amazon (or just about any bookstore) and I believe there is a Whole 30 website, too.
