What is the whole30?

The Whole30 is a 30-day diet ‘reset’ program to promote healthier eating habits by eliminating certain food groups, including grains, dairy, sugar, and processed foods. It emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods such as lean proteins, vegetables, and fruits to reset your body and potentially identify food sensitivities.

After the 30 days, you typically feel more energized, leaner, and have a better understanding of what foods work best for your body.

What can I eat on the whole30?
