Title: Whole 30 on the Weber Kettles
Post by: crowderjd on August 14, 2016, 02:06:19 PM

After a summer that included three weeks in the Midwest with family and friends, a seven day cruise, and eleven days in Poland, I gained A LOT of weight.  20 pounds to be exact...so, when I got back to Poland on July 26, my lovely wife and I decided we would try the "Whole 30" program for the month of August.  I won't get into what it is all that much, but I WILL tell you what's forbidden:

breads, sugar, dairy, and alcohol (which SUUUUCKS).

On the plus side, it encourages protein, fruits, and veggies.  I thought it would be fun to try to do as much of our evening dinners on the Webers as possible.  So far, we are 13 days in, and we've grilled 10 of those days.  So, shown below are a collection of our cooks we've done so far.  I'll update this as much as I can for the rest of the month.  Enjoy!

Very nice! Before my wife got pregnant we went on a "diet". Not full blown paleo but mainly protein and veggies. A carb now and then but no sugar and processed stuff. We lost a bit and yo can tell in the pics before and after. I'll be subscribed to this thread.

All that traveling I can see where you could easily put on that weight. Good deal with the program, man. Even better ya'll are doing it together.
Food looks great. Grills even better!
Keep up the good work, bud!

Looks good.  Great food and great plates.  Be careful with the carbs it can lead to carb rebound which can make you crave carbs later after your meal.
