WHOLE30 DIET
- It’s a popular nutrition challenge where you ditch a few food groups for 30 days to improve health and eating habits
- Focuses on whole foods
- Removes things from your diet that are commonly linked with:
- food sensitivities
- cravings
- disrupted hormones
- poor sleep and MORE
What you CAN eat
- veggies
- fruit
- unprocessed meats
- seafood
- eggs
- nuts/seeds
- oils (olive, coconut, avocado) & ghee (a type of clarified butter)
What you CAN’T eat
- added sugar
- soy
- alcohol
- grains
- legumes
- dairy
- additives (gums, “natural” claimed ingredients, citric acid, etc.)
- processed foods
PROS
- no calorie restrictions
- no weighing yourself/measuring things as it’s designed to focus on how you feel vs. a number
- encourages you to educate yourself on ingredients and read labels
- discover potential sensitives to food
CONS
- expensive
- strict
- eliminating foods that have beneficial vitamins & nutrients
- rye, barley, oats, millet, quinoa, other grains, etc.
- fiber, vitamin E, iron, folate, magnesium, B vitamins
- whole30 excludes even natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup, so if you have a raging sweet tooth…good luck
TIP:
- After 30 days try this:
- 1st, re-introduce one food item and wait 2 days/ make note of how you feel
- 2nd, re-introduce the next food (so on and so forth)
- This will help you determine potential food sensitives!
