Kelly @ trial and eater says:
I’ve thought of doing Whole30 too, but it’s much harder to not eat meat in addition. I think whenever I try to cut food groups out entirely, it always backfires. But I’m following along if you try! (P.S. I love cooking things in avocado oil!)
Christine McMichael replied:
Oh yeah, that would be pretty tough! I agree, Kelly. Thank you so much! Avocado oil is the best!!
