Ask the Geeky Girls -
Lucy (lucygoose88) from Birmingham, UK asks:
I was wondering on how you’re getting on with your Whole 30 style eating now you’re back in the US and living with somebody else, CC? Maybe you’re finding it easier with the abundance of local fresh produce in California? (I almost said ‘Whole 30 diet’ but the word ‘diet’ carries a lot of connotations that really don’t apply for you any more!)
