Whole30 Success Story: Alan C.

Today’s Whole30 success story features Alan C. (40), of Kwajalein, Republic of the Marshall Islands.  They say a picture is worth 1,000 words – or, in Alan’s case, 15 pounds lost in just 30 days (and a whole person’s worth of weight lost in his three year journey).  We’re not going to smuck up his [...]
