Whole 30....pros and cons [View all]

I’m 68 and packed on the “Covid 15”....I’m at the pre-diabetic stage and at my last physical I had lowered my A1C to within the acceptable range with exercise at the gym and lowering my carb and sugar intake. Covid threw all that out the window! I just recently felt it was safe enough to go back to the gym (the club I am a member of due to my Medicare supplement, is the largest athletic club in WI and has it’s act together complying to CDC mandates and suggestions) but my daughter has been urging me to change my eating habits and doing the Whole 30 beginning 9-1.

I would like to lose 17 lbs and realize Whole 30 isn’t technically a weight loss program, but it should help keep my A1C levels low enough that I wouldn’t be a candidate for big pharma meds, right?

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
