Whole30

After seeing photos of myself from 2012 and being in fantastic shape and seeing photos of myself from this past weekend and looking like a busted can of biscuits.... I am going to attempt this Whole30 thing. I read the book and have the cookbook. My issue is going to be overeating. My mind will tell my body “hey you are eating good/healthy stuff so let’s eat double the amount!”
Any tips or ideas on how to make it through? I work in the OR so trying to eat something every hour and drinking lots of water will be extremely difficult.

Log your food in a nutrition tracker, I find I’m less likely to over eat healthy food when I see what my intake is and the overall calories I’m going for in a day.

Yea use this LINK to find your calories and macros you should be eating. Plug them into my fitness pal. You are more than welcome exchange some of those carbs for fat. Use whole 30 principles everything though. Log everything no matter how small.
What do you plan to do workout wise.

If you stick to the diet, it will not be a problem. Try it for two weeks, if you plateau, eat more fats than carbs but stick to the food list. It’s incredibly difficult to overeat carbs and calories on a whole/real foods diet.
Good luck! You are doing great things for your body and health outside of just weight loss.

I've been on whole30 since the 2nd. I track my intake. People who say it's nearly impossible to overeat on whole30 haven't met me and how much I like to eat fatty, salty foods 
. It is definitely harder than when eating grains, though. I got my macros from Avatar Nutrition, slid my fats way up, and fill my macros with whole30 compliant foods.
I initially lost 8 pounds in 1.5 weeks but my weight jumped back up 4 pounds in 4 days, and now is creeping back down at the rate I actually expected to lose at. Interesting (and frustrating) to see the fluctuations.
I definitely see and feel that I've lost some inches. It'd be nice for the scale to catch up.

I did Whole 30 last March, then kept most of the eating habits up until about November. Fell off the wagon for the Holidays, but about to do another round of it. The only advice i've always given people about it, is don't eat a meal without knowing what your next meal will be. If you get hungry and aren't prepared things can go sideways. I always kept the Chomps jerky sticks and approve Lara bars around just in case of that exact scenario.
