A short term no sugar/dairy/carbs eating plan

I originally posted this on the H&F board but thought this would also be a good sounding board.

Was reading about LeBron's recent slim down strategy. He said he felt great; so great that what he had originally planned to do this for 30 days turned into 67 days. The article stated he only ate meat, fish, fruit, and veggies for this time frame.

My question is- After going for even 30 days, how do you begin incorporating back dairy/sugar/carbs? (Quite honestly, this can't be a lifestyle change)

W30 has a structured reintroduction plan for after the 30 days so that you can learn exactly how each type of food affects you so that you can make informed decisions about "off-roading." whole30.com/step-two-finished/

Also, something I'll say to everyone who is really new to this: the meal template is really important to your success. It provides the framework for what your meals should be like. whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf

Please ask any specific questions you have. I'll be headed down into my work dungeon around 11, but should emerge later this afternoon

I want to provoke it, but doing Whole30 as a lifestyle change isn't what I'm looking for. Paleo possibly, but not Whole30.

Whole 30 folks don't generally do it long term. They develop post W30'plans. Time on their site and boards would help you. I posted a link in one of the threads I started on this board

:Y: I took some time reading through the posts yesterday.

Carrots is right. No one eats w30 every moment of every day for the rest on their lives. Well maybe someone out there, but not normal people

You use it to figure out what is going to be a healthy sustainable path for you. So for example, maybe you can get away with regular dairy, some sugar, but legumes tear up your gut and too much sugar makes you gain weight. Well, now you know that. You know how food affects you and you have a plan.
