What is Whole30® and how does it benefit me?
Whole30® is a world renowned dietary program which provides a 30-day nutritional reset designed by Melissa Hartwig to:
- end unhealthy cravings and habits
- restore a healthy metabolism
- heal your digestive tract
- balance your immune system
What exactly does the program involve?
Basically it’s an eating approach that incorporates the following:
1) Only eating real food:
This means plenty of vegetables, eggs, seafood, meat and some fruit and loading up on natural healthy fats, herbs, spices and seasonings.
If eating prepared foods chose ones with very few ingredients and all pronounceable ingredients.
Note that Ghee or clarified butter; gluten free vinegar, coconut aminos and salt are ok as is real “do it yourself” freshly squeezed juices….in moderation.
2) Avoiding the following foods for 30 days:
- Added sugar, real or artificial. This includes: maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar, date syrup, stevia, Splenda, Equal, NutraSweet, xylitol, etc. Read your labels very carefully. Companies often sneak sugar into products in ways it is hard to recognize.
- Alcohol, in any form, not even for cooking.
- Tobacco Products
- Grains
- Legumes
- Dairy: This includes cow, goat, or sheep’s milk products like milk, cream, cheese, kefir, yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, or frozen yogurt.
- Carrageenan, MSG, or sulfites.
- Baked goods
- Junk foods
- Treats with “approved” ingredients: g. gluten free grain free baked treats such as muffins and pancakes
3) Eat as close to the earth as possible and when in doubt, leave it out. It’s only 30 days.
4) Do not step on the scale or take any body measurements for 30 days.
The Whole30® is so much more than weight loss. Avoiding compulsive weight measuring habits is healthy both for the mind and the spirit.
This amazing program really will reset your body. If you can manage this at least a couple of times per year you will find that the good habits will stick, and you will come closer to eating like this full time. The way you feel, and look will be its own reward and the hormones released due to the reward benefits will drive your future behavior and newly formed healthy habits.
